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.

Kelsey was such a great guide! So friendly and knowledgeable! We were blown away by her knowledge, not just of the local area but wildlife all over the country! She even told us about some local hot springs and great restaurants in the area! We saw tons of moose, elk, long horn sheep and bald eagles. Definitely a tour worth doing. She knew exactly where to look for all the little critters! Thanks Kelsey!

We had a great time, and saw a lot of wildlife! Our tour guide, Daniel, was a lot of fun, was very knowledgeable, and could spot a moose from a mile away. Lunch was good too! Highly recommend

We had an all day tour and it was the best! We saw many wild animals which included wolves on the Elk Refuge chasing a coyote. Our guide, Clint, said it was quite unusual to see a wolf at all. We saw four! We also saw moose, bison and sheep. Clint was quite knowledgeable and so friendly and engaging. We felt like we had known him forever. Our lunch was great at the Silver Dollar Saloon inside the Wort Hotel. At the end of the day, we did the sleigh ride which is actually a horse drawn cart but it did not minimize the experience. It was a very cold day with wind and snow, so a blanket would be a great item to have with you. Overall, it was an outing that we enjoyed tremendously!
