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.

Our guide chose not to take us to the museum which was a little disheartening. However, she took us to a local place in the national park so I’d say it was worth it! The trip was very enjoyable and we would definitely do it again and recommend it! Saw many bison, moose, elk, and even some bald eagles!

Haley our guide was a great guide and knew and shared so much about the animals, the history of the park. We saw so many wildlife- Swas, Otters, Moose, Buffalo, Sheep and Elk. The sleigh ride was epic seeing the elk in their natural habitat. Well worth the spend and day!

This was an excellent tour. We appreciated our guide, Hailey, and found her knowledgable and friendly. Our eleven year-old said this was his favorite day of our trip to Wyoming, and we took part in many tours and activities. Our guide helped us spot bison, moose, bald eagles, wolves, coyotes, big horn sheep, etc. The highlight of the trip was the sleigh ride through the Elk Refuge. Lunch was hearty and in a beautiful location. The tour van was comfortable and built so everyone had a window view.

We are glad that you enjoyed the tour. The Winter Wonderland tour is great for kids of all ages. A horse dawn sleigh ride can be a nostalgic way to see the beauty of the area and the wildlife.
