Wildlife Tours & National Parks

Winter is a unique and inspiring time to visit both Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park near Jackson Hole. Yellowstone is only accessible by the use of a treaded snow coach or snowmobile during the wintertime. Once in the park, visitors can take a guided tour through the area to view the stunning winter landscapes, wildlife, and geological features in peaceful solitude without the summer months' crowds. Grand Teton National Park is a beautiful winter retreat for a quiet cross-country skiing or snowshoeing tour. You can also travel with a knowledgeable guide who will enrich your experience with information about the local environment and wildlife.

Family Fun & Adventure

Take the whole family out to the National Elk Refuge on a horse-drawn sleigh. As you glide over the beautiful landscape, you will see hundreds of elk up close and learn about the majestic animals from your guide. Dog sledding is another great family activity that will whisk you through the winter landscape and afford wildlife watching opportunities. You may even get to try your hand at mushing! Snow King Mountain, located right in Jackson, also offers snow tubing and the new Snow King Cowboy Coaster for a rip-roaring good time the family will love!
