What To Expect

BrushBuck Wildlife Tours

After early morning pickup from your Jackson Hole hotel, your naturalist guide takes you into Grand Teton National Park. Even in the quiet of a snowy winter, wildlife can be spotted in the park and your guide knows where to look for animals. On any given day, you could see moose, bison, bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer, bald eagles, golden eagles, pronghorn, coyotes, or even wolves as you explore the park. At midday, come in from the cold to enjoy lunch in the famous western cowboy town of Jackson, Wyoming. After lunch, head back outside for a horse-drawn sleigh ride at the National Elk Refuge. Snap social media–worthy pics of the large herds as your guide explains how the elk migrate from the surrounding area to the refuge, a 24,700-acre (9,996-hectare) winter sanctuary to 47 different mammals and nearly 175 species of birds such as trumpeter swans and bald eagles. At the end of a memorable 8-hour tour of this winter wonderland, your guide returns you to your hotel where your tour ends.

Wonderful winter day tour in the Grand Teton National Park and National Elk Refuge. It was -15 degrees when we started our tour so I was wondering how the day would go. It was a great day in a warm van with Kyle as our guide. He took us to a number of places in the park and Jackson that have some great views. The highlight of the day was at the very end when we saw quite a few Big Horn sheep up on a hillside in Jackson. The Elk sighting was a given since there's thousands in the Refuge during winter. You can do this separately, but you'll miss out on some great views of the Tetons, etc. We had a great lunch during the trip and plenty of drinks and snacks available in the van so it was a great way to do some local sightseeing.

We were looking for an activity to do on the day that we were resting from skiing. We used Travelocity to pick Brushbuck Wildlife Tours and therefore I feel it is only right to leave a review on Travelocity. The communication with Brushbuck was excellent. The vehicle was clean and in excellent shape. They supplied snacks, drinks and very good quality binoculars. Our driver was Kyle, what an incredible young man. He really made the adventure special and shared so much detail information. We knew that there is no guarantee of finding wildlife, but some how Kyle was able to deliver not stop sightings of different animals. He kept the dialogue going for the entire 8 hours. He also brought us to a small off the beaten path restaurant that was fantastic.
