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.

We were so incredibly pleased with this tour!! We highly recommend taking this, and specifically requesting for Kevin to be your guide. He was very knowledgeable, quite kind, professional, and fun. We saw a multitude of wildlife, including elk, moose, mountain sheep, bison, golden eagle, and coyote. The vistas of the Tetons were amazing. The sleigh ride was gorgeous! It was just perfect. Do yourself a favor and take this tour and request Kevin! You won't regret it.

My husband and I had a great time exploring the amazing natural beauty of the Teton mountains as well as the historical landmarks that Sarah showed us along the way. As well as seeing all of the wildlife that inhabited the area. Sarah was kind, insightful, prepared, and extremely knowledgeable. She was a great guide and my husband and I highly recommend her!
