A Comfortable Start: Luxury Vehicles

Guests are transported in a luxury SUV or van, equipped with heated seats and large panoramic windows that allow guests to take in all the views of the surrounding winter landscape. Designed for comfort and safety, these vehicles ensure smooth navigation through snowy roads while letting you relax and enjoy the journey.

 

Winter Wildlife Encounters

One of the highlights of the tour is the opportunity to spot Grand Teton's abundant wildlife. The park comes alive in winter, with animals such as bison, moose, elk, and bighorn sheep often spotted against the snowy backdrop. Guests might also see predators like coyotes or foxes and, with some luck, the elusive gray wolf. Trumpeter swans and bald eagles are common along the waterways, offering incredible birdwatching opportunities.

The guides, well-versed in the park’s ecology and wildlife behavior, enhance the experience by pointing out hidden animals and sharing insights about their winter survival strategies. High-quality binoculars and spotting scopes are provided, so you can observe these majestic creatures up close without disturbing their natural habitat. A neat feature is a camera phone attachment for the provided spotting scope which allows guests to snap incredible photos of wildlife from a safe distance. 

 

Scenic Destinations and Iconic Stops

Grand Teton National Park changes in winter to an ethereal landscape of snow-capped peaks, frozen lakes, and frost-covered meadows. The private tour features several iconic and scenic stops that showcase the park's beauty:

• Oxbow Bend: A favorite spot for wildlife viewing, Oxbow Bend is particularly striking in winter. The frozen Snake River and views of Mount Moran make for an unforgettable panorama.

• Mormon Row: This historic area is home to the iconic Moulton Barns, which stand out beautifully against the backdrop of the Tetons’ rugged peaks, dusted with snow. It's a must-visit for photography enthusiasts.

• Jackson Lake: One of the largest lakes in the park, Jackson Lake freezes over in winter, offering a stunning sight. On clear days, there is a rare opportunity to see a mesmerizing  reflection of the Tetons on its icy surface.

• Antelope Flats: Known for its sweeping vistas and frequent wildlife activity, this area provides excellent opportunities to see moose and bison up close.

Each stop is tailored to your interests, whether you want to focus on photography, enjoy quiet contemplation, or learn more about the area's natural and cultural history.

Dining in the Wild: Simple Yet Thoughtful Meals
