Grand Teton Dusk Adventure

Grand Teton National Park looks like a scene from an idyllic painting: towering mountains give way to glittering lakes, alpine terrain, and lush green valleys. After arriving in Jackson Hole, you’ll take a four-hour tour of the park as the setting sun casts a warm glow over an already-dramatic landscape. Keep your eyes peeled for soaring golden eagles and herds of bison.

Grand Teton and Yellowstone Wildlife Tour

This adventure draws inspiration from African safaris in offering both a dawn and dusk tour at peak wildlife viewing times. In the morning, you’ll see Grand Teton’s wildflower fields and Yellowstone’s mountainous wildland, one of the world’s last nearly intact temperate ecosystems. This tour may also visit Yellowstone’s Upper and Lower Falls and the Upper Loop, and you might see black bears, elk, and coyotes. 

At dusk, you’ll head back to Yellowstone, this time to tour one of its fertile valleys. These broad stretches of land are home to bison herds, wolves, and grizzly bears.

Yellowstone National Park Wildlife Tour and Scenic Upper Loop Adventure

This tour starts early in the morning with a trip to Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon, where you may spot bighorn sheep and mule deer, as well as a grizzly or black bear or two. The Upper Loop portion will take you to many of the park’s most popular attractions, including the Norris Geyser Basin, Canyon Village, and Mammoth Hot Springs, where you’ll also see the limestone terraces that were carved by the area’s geothermal activity.

“American Serengeti” and Old Faithful Tour

Yellowstone’s wolves and grizzlies are the focus of your final excursion. Lamar Valley will be the first stop, nicknamed the “American Serengeti” due to its abundant wildlife. You might see elk, bighorn sheep, and river otters here, even during winter. Next, you’ll visit the park’s most-iconic site, Old Faithful. True to its name, this geyser erupts every 35 to 120 minutes, shooting water up to 180 feet in the air.
