Top-Rated Jackson Hole Safaris & Rentals!

My wife and I did the private snowcoach tour through Yellowstone- very few crowds, we saw more bison than people! Monica was simply fantastic as our Scenic Safaris tour guide. She was quite knowledgeable about the area and her fun personality added to the excitement of our adventure. We loved it, will book with Scenic Safaris again soon!

We took the Teton national park ATV morning tour with David and had what could be the highlight of the trip. He was super knowledgeable and had an entertaining way of transferring that knowledge to us - whether it be equipment management or Teton history and science facts. The ride was both awe-inspiring and adrenaline producing. Five stars!

We weren't sure if we'd like to drive around Yellowstone on our own or through a tour company. We are so glad we chose to do Scenic Safaris Yellowstone Lower Loop tour. It was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide, Ryan was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable, courteous, efficient and helpful. Do not hesitate to book Scenic Safaris- it's the real deal!

We went on an all-day snowmobile tour to Togwotee. Our guide (Dakota)was GREAT! He was very knowledgeable about wildlife, flora, mountains, etc. He also really let us open the tour up with how fast / slow we wanted to go. We covered over 80 miles on the tour. We will definitely book with Scenic Safaris again in the future for another snowmobile tour!

We took a side-by-side tour with Irwin as our guide. He went above and beyond and took us to amazing places for great wildlife photos. We decided to book another tour with him (the Yellowstone Lower Loop). Irwin again delivered an experience that exceeded expectations. Thank you for a once in a lifetime trip and an experience we’ll never forget!

His scope-enabled video of the wildlife and scenery was beautifully captured and sent to us by the end of the day.

It is hard to pick just one, but I think Artist Point at the Yellowstone Grand Canyon was my favorite. John took photos of us that are so special; thank you, John! John was very friendly, helpful, organized, and informative--we learned so much. We also appreciated all the bathroom stops.🙂 (The only problem we had was with the van windows fogging up, but that was understandable. Microfiber wipes might help.) Thanks for a wonderful day!!

The Best Time to Go on a Snake River Float Trip

If you are wondering what is the best time to go on a Snake River float in Jackson Hole, then you will be happy to know that spring, summer, and fall are all great times of year to go floating in Jackson Hole.

Each season offers a unique experience on the Snake River! 

• Spring is the early season for rafting, and the season falls between the months of April to June. Despite being the early season, most rafters consider spring to be one of the best times of year to raft Jackson Hole. Spring in Wyoming can be chilly, but it also presents the perfect opportunity for rafters to enjoy small groups and see the most animals during a scenic float trip in Grand Teton.
• Summer (July & August) offers prime rafting weather in Jackson Hole. Since the temperatures hover in the low to mid-80s throughout the season, summer is the perfect time to go whitewater rafting as well as swimming. Scenic float trips are also great in the summer since you can catch cool breezes along the Snake River to keep you comfortable while you check out all of the wildlife and sights!
• Fall tends to be a little chillier but many locals will say that it’s their favorite time of year to go on Snake River floats Jackson Hole. There is beautiful weather as well as far fewer visitors which makes for a relaxingly quiet scenic float trip, but whitewater rafting is also still an option up until October. Floating between the months of September and October also allows you to view the amazing autumn colors of the Teton National Forest right from your raft! 

What to Wear on Jackson Hole Float Trips

When choosing what to wear on a Jackson Hole Float Trip, you need to consider what type of Teton float trip you will be going on.

Jackson Hole scenic float trips will be much calmer and way less wet since you will be in a secure raft on calm waters the entire time. Whereas if you were to go on a white water rafting float trip you would want to dress accordingly and be prepared to get wet during the entirety of the rafting trip.

• Sun Protection

While floating the Grand Teton Snake River, there is little to no protection from the sun. Even if you happen to experience a cloudy day during your tour, you can get a sunburn in as little as a couple of hours while on the Grand Tetons Snake River. That being said, you should apply sunscreen before the tour and reapply sunscreen during the tour in addition to wearing sunglasses.

• Appropriate Shoes

Whether you plan on getting in the water or not, you will still need to wear the appropriate footwear to float Snake River. Water shoes or old tennis shoes with soft soles are the best options for both scenic float trips and whitewater rafting. Pretty much all outfitters will not allow bare feet, flip flops, or Crocs!

• Weather Appropriate Clothes 

If you are going on a scenic float trip on the Snake River, then you can pretty much wear whatever you are comfortable in for the weather that day since you likely won’t be getting wet. It is recommended that you wear some layers regardless of the season that you go floating in because even during the summer the mornings can tend to be chilly.

If you plan on going on a whitewater rafting tour or know that you will get wet or go swimming on your tour, you should wear a swimsuit or quick-drying clothes. Avoid cotton, but still consider layers due to the possibility of a chilly morning or a breezy day.

Float Trip Jackson Hole Tips

• Bring a camera

There is so much to see when you go on a scenic float trip near Jackson Hole, that you will definitely want to capture some of the memories along the way with a camera. 

• Plan an early morning float

Going on float trips Grand Teton in the early hours of the day will greatly increase your chance of seeing the region’s amazing wildlife, especially birds.

• Bring snacks and water

When you float Snake River Jackson Hole, you will probably get hungry and need to refuel especially if your particular tour doesn’t provide lunch. Bring things like granola bars, fruit, and water bottles.

• Book tours in advance

Most tours will have limited seating and will in turn have to regularly turn people away when they’re booked. You will want to book your tour as soon as you know your plans especially if you happen to have a large party.

• Bring a bag with a change of clothes/towels

If you know that you’ll get wet during your float trip Tetons, you should pack a bag with a comfy change of clothes and a towel to use to dry off at the end of the float trip.

• Check out other activities in the area

Jackson Hole has so much to offer, so we definitely recommend checking out other activities that you can do to get the most out of your trip! There are a ton of amazing things to do in Grand Teton National Park and of course nearby the park as well.

Field Notes

Winter wildlife in jackson hole wyoming.

The fall’s first snowflakes fall gracefully from an early October storm. Delicately crafted pellucid stellar dendrites, individually fragile and unique, accumulate painting the landscape white; the rich colors of summer hidden under a thick blanket of snow. The towering spires and craggy heights of the the high country are the first to hold snow from these early storms but gradually the snow line creeps to the valley floor of Jackson Hole. The chill in the air conspires with the falling snow to warn of the inevitable change. Winter is just around the corner and the abundance of summer is about to come to an end.

The snow thickens with each winter storm, blanketing the once green landscape with several feet of impenetrable frozen water. The irony is obvious and vicious. The same water stored on top of the high mountain sedges, grasses and flowers of this season is integral to regenerate next year’s crop. The magic of winter covers the delicious forage of infinite and unexplored alpine meadows and forests found in the high country forcing wildlife to migrate in search of food and milder weather.

Elk, Moose, Mule deer, Bighorn sheep and Bison all get the message. It is time to move down into the relatively mild lower elevations of Jackson Hole. Named after Davey Jackson , an early American trapper drawn to the area by the abundance of flora and fauna, Jackson Hole is a large high desert mountain valley in the rain shadow of the Tetons. As winter storms rage across the west from the Pacific, they are forced up and over the high peaks of the Tetons where they drop the majority of their precipitation. The leeward side of a mountain range is drier and spared the worse of the weather. Access to browse left over from the summer growing season draws wildlife from the surrounding mountain ranges.

Generation after generation teach their young how to survive winter by either hibernating or migrating to winter food sources and milder weather. Animals that spent the summer grazing hundreds of square miles within the five mountain ranges that surround Jackson Hole now join together to survive the winter on the valley floor. Predators and scavengers alike follow this migration of prey species with mountain lions, wolves, coyotes and bald eagles easily spotted in the same wintering grounds.

Hundreds of mule deer will gather to graze on the relatively snow free slopes of east and west Gros Ventre buttes overlooking the thousands of elk gathered below grazing the lower elevation meadows with the largest herds found just north of Jackson on the National Elk Refuge . A short drive onto the elk refuge from the east side of town will lead to Miller butte where a large herd of wintering big horn sheep can be viewed daily. It is not uncommon to see rams sparring or young lambs chasing each other over and across the rock faces of the butte. Bison will be scattered throughout the valley depending on snowfall but can usually be found on the elk refuge or on the eastern foothills of the Gros Ventre range north of the town of Kelly.

Moose, sometimes difficult to find in the summer, can be found gathering on Antelope flats in Grand Teton National park in loosely arranged groups. Sometimes as many as 30 can be seen from one vantage point grazing the sage flats surrounding Blacktail Butte. Moose are also common in the neighborhoods on the west bank of the snake river from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to Wilson. Moose, first observed in Jackson Hole in 1915, have flourished around people and find refuge from predation by living in proximity to people, sometimes making themselves comfortable on someone’s front porch!

For many a chance to see the more elusive species can be the highlight of a vacation or a season. Over the last few years wolf activity in Jackson Hole has increased dramatically with 5 different wolf packs using the valley regularly. Watch for wolves early in the morning and late in the evening anywhere north of Jackson to Moran junction. Open grassland without tall sage or trees is your best bet with the Elk Refuge, Antelope Flats and Elk Ranch being the best places to consistently see wolves.

It is easy to confuse coyotes with wolves. For many our coyotes look big but don’t let the winter coat fool you. An average coyote weighs between 35 and 40 pounds compared to a wolf who can weigh up to 150 pounds! If you see a canine jumping up and pouncing into the snow you are most likely watching a coyote. If you see a canine that is jet black, you are definitely watching a wolf (about half of the wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are black). Other tell tale signs include chasing elk, moving in an organized pack (though coyotes will sometimes pack up too) and shape of the face and tail.

Winter is a tough time for wildlife but a great time to see them. They migrate down into the valleys for the same reason people we have chosen to live here. They follow our roads because we followed theirs because the geographic weaknesses used by wildlife for thousands of years are also conducive for our own mobility. Winter is a time of quiet reflection and energy conservation where staying warm and alive means moving as little as possible and feeding as much as possible. This makes wildlife viewing in Jackson Hole in the winter awesome. As a visitor to their winter ranges we should be respectful, keep our distance and minimize our impact on the wildlife we love.

Our guides will not only teach you where to find wintering wildlife of Jackson Hole, they will also teach you about current events, conservation issues, and how to get the best photos possible without disrupting their natural behavior. We offer wildlife safaris and tours 7 days a week and only close for Christmas day.

Best Places to See Winter Wildlife in Jackson Hole

It’s late winter in Jackson Hole.  With over 400 inches of snow blanketing the peaks of  Grand Teton National Park, the landscape appears silent, yet life abounds here.  Our valley lies in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem , and each winter wildlife both large and small concentrate here to endure winter. 

Finding wildlife in winter can be as easy as watching elk herds of the National Elk Refuge or as difficult as spotting a camouflaged great gray owl against the similar texture of cottonwood bark.  Either way, learning the best places to see wildlife in Jackson Hole is the first step. With another month of winter to go as spring approaches, here are some of our favorite spots and what to look for!

Miller Butte in the National Elk Refuge

Departing Jackson’s Town Square, head east on Broadway until the paved road ends and follow the dirt road onto the National Elk Refuge.  As late winter turns to spring on the Refuge, look for fresh dirt piles in the snow. These are evidence of badgers hunting for hibernating ground squirrels!

Long-tailed weasels, a smaller relative to the badger are sometimes seen sprinting across the flats of the National Elk Refuge.  Dozens of mammal species and hundreds of bird species also call this landscape home

Look for eagles and other birds roosting in the cottonwood trees above the historic Miller House before arriving at Miller Butte.  In winter, the Gros Ventre bighorn sheep herd migrates out of the mountains to these slopes, taking advantage of the sunny, wind-scoured slopes.  The cliff bands of Miller Butte also provide refuge should a coyote, wolf, or mountain lion (all of which are found on the Refuge!) approach. 

As winter progresses into spring a mating pair of prairie falcons returns to their nesting site in these cliffs, a welcome sight for avid birders.  Beyond the butte, a vast view of the nearly 25,000-acre Refuge emerges, we love to glass from here with our Maven S.1 spotting scopes in hopes of catching the Huckleberry wolf pack .   

East Gros Ventre Butte

My first winter in Jackson Hole, I spent many days driving into the park fixated on the promise of skiing in the Tetons, oblivious to the hundreds of animals wintering on the slopes above the road to my left.  Many of the mule deer who raise fawns in Grand Teton National Park during the summer return to the Butte each winter, retracing the steps their own mothers taught them.  Like the bighorn sheep across the Refuge, mule deer use these slopes because prevailing winds help blow the snow off sagebrush and other shrubs which are their primary food source. 

Winter is tough on our ungulates, or hoofed animals, and some unfortunately succumb to starvation, exposure, or to vehicle strikes along HWY 89/191.  Though we are working to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions in Teton County, (read about our efforts here!) these winter kills do provide much-needed sustenance for bald and golden eagles, ravens, magpies, foxes, coyotes, foxes and dozens of other species.  There is no waste in nature. 

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is one of our favorite places to visit and also glass for wildlife.  If you tour the museum, be sure to check out our EcoTour Adventures Spotting Scope in the Members Gallery and look for wolves, coyotes, and eagles along with over 8000 elk who reside on the National Elk Refuge in winter. 

This year the Huckleberry wolf pack has moved south onto the National Elk Refuge, displacing the Pinnacle Peak pack from an area they had roamed for years.  The arrival of this new pack has made for great wolf watching on the Refuge , and each viewing location listed here provides different opportunities to look for them.

These two wolves, graying with age, were spotted courting back in February by Guide Elise Tonelli.  Photograph using our Maven S.1 Spotting Scope!

One final location to look while on the Refuge is from the Fish Hatchery.  The pond nearby stays unfrozen year-round providing consistent opportunities to look for a multitude of duck and waterfowl species including gadwall, bufflehead, ringneck, goldeneye, trumpeter swans, hooded merganser and others.  The willows in this area may also hold some of the first returning songbirds of spring, including song sparrows, red winged blackbirds, and the stunning mountain bluebird.

Be sure to check the fence posts and power lines along the Refuge for a medium-sized raptor who has traveled over 2000 miles to get here.  The rough-legged hawk , similar in size to our more common red-tailed hawk winters in the lower 48 states before returning to nesting territories in the arctic circle.   It’s one of just a few species who migrate to, instead of away from the GYE in winter.

Grand Teton National Park

In summer, wildlife watching in Jackson Hole largely occurs in Grand Teton National Park, but in winter deep snows have pushed most large animals to lower elevations.  Not so for our largest deer, the moose . With their long legs and high stepping gait, moose are perfectly adapted for snow and as a result, they have a “circumpolar” distribution around the world.  Earlier in the winter moose concentrate in the sagebrush flats of Antelope Flats, but as the snow deepens they return to rivers such as the Snake or Gros Ventre where they can wade in the water to reach food sources.

As the snow begins to recede in the valley in late winter Antelope Flats is a great spot to look for Greater sage grouse .  These “wild chickens” gather to mate on lek sites throughout late March and April. A ‘lek’ is a location where males of a species concentrate to display and hopefully attract mates.  Grand Teton has one near Mormon Row, though on deeper snow years we’ve seen males displaying on windswept ridges elsewhere in the Park. As you look for wildlife in southern Grand Teton also keep an eye out for the first western meadowlark and American kestrel of spring, they should be arriving any day now!

Rivers in Jackson Hole

Traveling along rivers in winter is a sure bet to see wildlife.  As we’ve already discussed, moose, along with waterfowl and eagles use this open water to feed.  My favorite river bird, the American dipper, is also at home in the water. Watch for a monotone gray bird a bit smaller than a robin flitting about in and out of the water.  If you catch one it will likely dip on its rock perch before diving underwater to pull aquatic macroinvertebrates from the river bottom.

Bald eagles are starting to return to nest sites along the river, and may even be incubating eggs!  Look for large stick nests in cottonwood trees near the river for a chance to catch a glimpse of these large raptors. 

We’ve also been enjoying great otter sightings this winter in some of the creeks and rivers of Jackson Hole.  Beaver ponds with open water can be a great place to look, as well as Jackson Lake Dam or any time you are along the Snake River.  Otters often slide along through the snow on their bellies, look for drag marks in the snow to help locate these playful mustelids.  

Bald eagles aren't the only birds heading to nesting sites right now.  ravens, great horned owls, and great gray owls will all be nesting soon! PC: @joshmettenphoto

Northern Grand Teton

By mid winter, most of our wildlife viewing while snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Northern Grand Teton consists of the tracks of coyote and fox, ermine, American martin , and the prey they pursue, including mice, voles, snowshoe hare, and squirrel.  But soon enough more creatures will appear. 

Grizzly bears start to stir in March, and by mid April we usually have our first sightings in the northern part of the park.  (Read more about bear safety here) .  Bears seek out freshly melted out areas to dig for edible roots and small mammals while sniffing around for the scent of winter-killed animals to scavenge.

With recent warm weather the first grizzlies of spring could be emerging soon in Yellowstone or northern Grand Teton National Park! PC: @joshmettenphoto

The fantastic mammal migrations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem also begin in late winter.  Soon, thousands of elk, deer, and pronghorn antelope will make epic migrations across the ecosystem, gorging on the lush green vegetation which follows melting snows.  These migrations are a sight to behold, you can almost feel the landscape take a big inhale as it wakes up from the long winter. 

Responsible Wildlife Watching

Now that you are familiar with some of the best spots to look for winter wildlife in Jackson Hole, it's important to remember that this is the hardest time of year for many of these animals.  That’s why Ecotour Adventures is a business sponsor of the Don’t Poach the Powder campaign, which seeks to educate the public on critical winter wildlife habitat closures throughout the valley. 

By viewing wildlife from afar with our Maven binoculars and spotting scopes we seek to avoid disturbing wildlife who are relying on finite fat reserves to get through the winter.
