Rachel was wonderful and great with the girls she was able to spot animals so quickly! We definitely plan to come back in the summer and see Yellowstone, so we will let you know! Thank you! A Andrea Sanders January 2026 on Personal Communication We saw breathtaking scenery, learned so much about the park, and felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This was truly a highlight of our trip and something our boys are still talking about. If you are visiting the Tetons especially with kids I cannot recommend a private tour like this enough. Worth every penny! G Gina Rogers December 2025 on Google Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide! Rachel was AMAZING. She really dedicated time to make sure we had the best experience. Our tour was on a day with a snow storm and Rachel made the best of it and still showed us as much as she could. We saw moose, bald eagles, elk, and beavers. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Wildlife is wild, but we take you to the best spots at the best times, and have the binoculars and spotting scopes to get distant animals into view. Nothing is guaranteed but we are the first safari company in Jackson with a **SEE WILDLIFE OR YOUR TOUR IS FREE!** policy. We will offer you a refund if you don’t see at least one of these animals: Bear, Beaver, Bighorn Sheep, Bison, Coyote, Deer, Elk, Fox, Moose, Pronghorn, Otter or Wolf. ![Guides of Jackson Hole See Wildlife or Your Tour is Free logo](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/SEE-WILDLIFE-GUARANTEE-badge2.png) ##### Does ‘safari’ mean we’ll get super close to animals? The Park Service limits how close visitors can get to the wildlife: - 25 feet from most large animals and - 100 feet from bears, mountain lion and wolves. - Off-road driving to chase wildlife is definitely not allowed. - Use of artificial calls to mimic and attract wildlife is not allowed. - Feeding wildlife is banned. It is bad for the animal’s health, and can lead to conflict with humans. But even when the animals are far away our pro-grade optics will still get you a close up. This is a real North American wildlife experience, not a less-regulated African safari free-for-all. That said, if a bull bison decides to saunter up to the vehicle, while we are stuck in a “bison jam” you are sure to get a great photo. **NOTE:** Our job is to model good wildlife viewing practices. Please listen to your guide and respect the rules that are there for your and the wildlife’s safety. If we can’t stop safely and legally we will not stop. If there is no ranger around to enforce the rules, there is bound to be a cell-phone wielding traveler looking for some content to post on the “Tourons of Yellowstone” Instagram channel. ![A polaroid image of a moose in a spotting scope with the caption: Our spotting scopes can get you close to distant wildlife.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Tour-Moose-in-Scope-scaled.jpg) ##### What wildlife will I see in the spring in Jackson Hole? Winter lasts until late April, by which time most of the elk have moved off the National Elk Refuge and are following the green wave of new growth up the valley of Jackson Hole. May and June are popular with Grizzly Bear watchers as mothers and cubs will come out of hibernation and are often seen close to the roads eating flowers, digging up plant tubers or hunting new-born elk calves. Babies of all types are visible in spring. Seasonal migrants like pronghorn, ospreys, pelicans start arriving in the valley, while the last of the bighorn sheep leave for the high country by the end of May. We had small kids with us and they were patient and helpful with them. We found grizzly bears, bison, elk, and so many more animals. I’d recommend them to anyone who is looking to learn and explore this vast range. B Ben Galvin June 2025 · Google ##### What wildlife will I see in the summer in Jackson Hole? By July and August many animals have moved out of the valley to follow the new growth up the mountains. Additionally, the dawn and dusk hours when animals are most active are less convenient: Not many people want to start a tour at 5:30am! Our 4-hour evening tours start at 5pm, which is tough on dinner plans, but we offer a charcuterie board on these tours. That doesn’t mean you won’t see anything: Pronghorn migrate into the valley in summer, while bison, moose, beavers and otters stay put all year around. During the bison mating season in August, it is not uncommon for an old bull to die of injuries sustained in a battle over breeding rights. He then becomes a 2,000lb buffet for the local bears and wolves, which can be quite a sight. Summer is a good time to see birds. Pelicans, ospreys and sandhill cranes migrate into Jackson Hole and Yellowstone for the summer, and bald eagles hang out by the rivers. Most people have no choice but to visit Grand Teton and Yellowstone in summer, and you are more likely to see iconic wildlife here than anywhere else in the country, but if you want to maximize your chances of a memorable wildlife encounter coming in another season won’t hurt. Rachel was amazing. She interacted with my kids perfectly and was able to spot several animals even when there wasn’t a lot out and about. Would highly recommend. M Matt Poff August 2025 · Google ##### What wildlife will I see in the fall in Jackson Hole? In fall wildlife returns to the valley floor from the high country. Late-August thru mid-September is berry season and bears will stay in the same area for days feasting on patches of fruit. It is also the elk rut, when the calls of big bull elk echo around the valley. It’s called a bugle, but is far from the last post: more like an eerie whistle that morphs into a throaty grunt. You really need to hear it for yourself anytime from late-August to early October. The moose mating season is late September to early October. ![a polaroid image of a wet Grizzly the caption ‘Weather changes fast. This was 30 minutes after a hail storm.’](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Grand-Teton-Tour-Grizzly-in-rain.jpg) ##### What wildlife will I see in winter in Jackson Hole? November and December are a great time to see moose on the sage brush flats. Once the snow comes in they retreat back to the rivers or forest but are still commonly seen. Moose drop their antlers around the Christmas holidays, so come early if you want an iconic moose photo. Elk are generally on the National Elk Refuge north of the town of Jackson from late December to early April. They shed their antlers in March. If you want to see **wolves** in Jackson Hole, winter is the best time, as they follow the elk down to the Refuge. It’s also a great time to see bighorn sheep. They are here all winter, but they mate in December, when you can see all sorts of interesting behavior and hear clap of rams butting heads. Otters are easier to see in winter as they maintain fishing holes in the ice so your guides will know where to look for them. ![a polaroid image of a moose among cars with the Tetons in the background with the caption 'The moose came up to the GoJH Ford Expedition'.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Grand-Teton-Winter-Moose-Cars.jpg) ##### When is a good time to see wildlife in Yellowstone? Any season is a good time to see wildlife in Yellowstone. Wolves are visible in the Lamar and Hayden valleys year round. Bison are everywhere. The issue of animals migrating out of the valleys and into the high country in summer is not as pronounced in Yellowstone with its high volcanic plateaus and elevated roads. The challenge with the prime wildlife watching hours being difficult in the height of summer remains. We’ve waited until 8:30-9pm in early August before two grizzlies and a pack of wolves emerged from the forest and feast on a bison carcass in the Lamar Valley. The biggest impact on wildlife viewing in Yellowstone is often road closures and lack of services. Keep in mind most of Yellowstone’s roads are closed from November 1 to mid-December, and accessible only via snowcoach or snowmobile during the winter season. After winter accommodation closes at the end of February, roads will open as snow clears from early April to mid-May, but accommodation, dining and gas services are limited until early May. These services close progressively during the fall. Logistically touring Yellowstone on October 1 and October 31 are quite different challenges. ![A polaroid image of two wolves with the caption: With wolves time spent looking matters more than season.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Yellowstone-Wolves-Time-v-Seasons.jpg) ##### Is winter a good season for wildlife viewing? Winter is a great time for wildlife watching: • The days are short so the dawn and dusk hours when wildlife is most active are convenient, • the animals are less likely to blend into the landscape and • there is less foliage to obstruct your view. If you do an overnight at Old Faithful you can expect to see as many bison as people! Some animals are not visible in winter: Pronghorn migrate out of the valley in November. Bears are usually in hibernation by early December and beavers remain hidden as they move between their lodges and the bottom of their ice-covered ponds where they have cached food over the summer. As for the cold, on our tours we have a cache of hot drinks to help keep you nice and warm. ![a polaroid image of two bighorn rams butting heads with the caption: In December bighorn rams vie for ewes on the National Elk Refuge](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Grand-Teton-Winter-Bighorn-Rut.jpg) ##### When is peak fall leaf color in Jackson Hole? Fall colors in the Tetons last from the beginning of September through mid-October, with peak colors historically happening around late September into early October. Tree health, elevation and seasonal variations in rainfall and nighttime temperatures influence when exactly leaves change color from season to season. According to the United States National Arboretum, a wet growing season followed by a dry, sunny autumn with cool, frost-free nights results in the brightest fall colors. Drought will normally result in an early fall display. While most people think of apsens, there are plenty of trees in Grand Teton that display changing fall colors including cottonwoods and willows and shrubs— such as serviceberry and mountain ash. ![A polaroid image of fall aspen leaves the caption: While most fall aspens are golden, some turn orange or red.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Fall-red-aspen-leaves.jpg) ##### When is peak wildflower season in Jackson Hole? Wildflowers are much more variable than autumn leaves. With different species blooming at different times and elevation having a major impact. Generally the best wildflowers in the sage brush flats on the valley floor occur in June. This is the month you will see the large showy yellow daisies: balsamroot, mule’s ears, arnica and sunflowers, that grace most of the iconic Teton in the spring images. Peak wildflower display in the mountains occurs in July and August. Drought, winter snowpack and spring rainfall all contribute to the specific date a plant blooms. The founder of Guides of Jackson Hole, Trevor Bloom, co-authored a study of [Wildflower blooming in Grand Teton National Park](https://www.nature.org/en-us/magazine/magazine-articles/bloom-season/), that found that between 2016-19 the first flowers of spring are now blossoming an average of 17 days sooner than they had during a similar study in the 1970s.Here are the likely bloom times for popular wildflowers in Jackson Hole. **Arrowleaf Balsamroot**: Mid-late June. **Little Sunflower**: Mid-late June. **Mule’s Ears**: Mid-June-early July. **Heart-leaf Arnica**: Late-June-July **Sticky Geranium**: June-August **Monkshood**: June-August **Silvery Lupine**: Mid-June-July **Larkspur**: Mid-June-July **Columbine**: Late June to August **Paintbrush**: July **Monument Plant (Green Gentian)**: July **Fireweed**: July-September **Rabbitbrush**: August-October ![a polaroid image of yellow wildflowers beneath the Teton Mountains with the caption: Wildflowers color the Tetons](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Grand-Teton-Summer-4-hour-Wildflowers.jpg) ##### What time does the tour depart to see sunrise on the Tetons? Our tours are private. If you want to catch the sunrise, we can make that happen. In summer it will require an early start. By “Sunrise on the Tetons” most people mean the warm pink Alpenglow that hits the peaks about half an hour before the official dawn. The most popular spots to catch this are the barns at Mormon Row and the beaver ponds at Schwabacher Landing. Oxbow Bend is also a great location but it is and additional 30 minutes drive from Jackson. The table below will give you an idea of the alpenglow time and the latest time you will have to leave Jackson in order to catch it for every week of the year. ##### Weekly Alpenglow & Sunrise Times Mormon Row, Grand Teton National Park Week Of Leave Jackson By* Alpenglow Begins Sunrise Jan 1 MST 6:43 AM 7:23 AM 7:55 AM Jan 8 MST 6:42 AM 7:22 AM 7:54 AM Jan 15 MST 6:40 AM 7:20 AM 7:52 AM Jan 22 MST 6:36 AM 7:16 AM 7:48 AM Jan 29 MST 6:31 AM 7:11 AM 7:42 AM Feb 5 MST 6:24 AM 7:04 AM 7:34 AM Feb 12 MST 6:15 AM 6:55 AM 7:25 AM Feb 19 MST 6:05 AM 6:45 AM 7:14 AM Feb 26 MST 5:54 AM 6:34 AM 7:03 AM Mar 5 MST 5:43 AM 6:23 AM 6:52 AM Mar 12 MDT 6:31 AM 7:11 AM 7:39 AM Mar 19 MDT 6:18 AM 6:58 AM 7:27 AM Mar 26 MDT 6:05 AM 6:45 AM 7:14 AM Apr 2 MDT 5:53 AM 6:33 AM 7:02 AM Apr 9 MDT 5:40 AM 6:20 AM 6:49 AM Apr 16 MDT 5:27 AM 6:07 AM 6:37 AM Apr 23 MDT 5:15 AM 5:55 AM 6:26 AM Apr 30 MDT 5:04 AM 5:44 AM 6:16 AM May 7 MDT 4:54 AM 5:34 AM 6:06 AM May 14 MDT 4:45 AM 5:25 AM 5:58 AM May 21 MDT 4:37 AM 5:17 AM 5:51 AM May 28 MDT 4:31 AM 5:11 AM 5:46 AM Jun 4 MDT 4:27 AM 5:07 AM 5:42 AM Jun 11 MDT 4:24 AM 5:04 AM 5:40 AM** Jun 18 MDT 4:24 AM 5:04 AM 5:40 AM** Jun 25 MDT 4:26 AM 5:06 AM 5:42 AM Jul 2 MDT 4:29 AM 5:09 AM 5:45 AM Jul 9 MDT 4:34 AM 5:14 AM 5:50 AM Jul 16 MDT 4:41 AM 5:21 AM 5:55 AM Jul 23 MDT 4:48 AM 5:28 AM 6:02 AM Jul 30 MDT 4:56 AM 5:36 AM 6:09 AM Aug 6 MDT 5:05 AM 5:45 AM 6:17 AM Aug 13 MDT 5:13 AM 5:53 AM 6:25 AM Aug 20 MDT 5:22 AM 6:02 AM 6:32 AM Aug 27 MDT 5:30 AM 6:10 AM 6:40 AM Sep 3 MDT 5:39 AM 6:19 AM 6:48 AM Sep 10 MDT 5:47 AM 6:27 AM 6:56 AM Sep 17 MDT 5:55 AM 6:35 AM 7:04 AM Sep 24 MDT 6:03 AM 6:43 AM 7:12 AM Oct 1 MDT 6:11 AM 6:51 AM 7:20 AM Oct 8 MDT 6:19 AM 6:59 AM 7:28 AM Oct 15 MDT 6:27 AM 7:07 AM 7:36 AM Oct 22 MDT 6:36 AM 7:16 AM 7:45 AM Oct 29 MDT 6:44 AM 7:24 AM 7:54 AM Nov 5 MST 5:53 AM 6:33 AM 7:03 AM Nov 12 MST 6:01 AM 6:41 AM 7:12 AM Nov 19 MST 6:10 AM 6:50 AM 7:21 AM Nov 26 MST 6:18 AM 6:58 AM 7:30 AM Dec 3 MST 6:25 AM 7:05 AM 7:38 AM Dec 10 MST 6:32 AM 7:12 AM 7:44 AM Dec 17 MST 6:37 AM 7:17 AM 7:50 AM Dec 24 MST 6:41 AM 7:21 AM 7:54 AM** \*”Leave Jackson By” assumes a ~30-minute drive from town to Mormon Row plus a buffer to find parking and set up before the glow begins.

It’s the mountains, the weather can change quickly. Animals and thermal features are active all weathers. Our vehicles are warm, our guides adapt quickly, and even on moody days, the Tetons and Yellowstone can reveal a quieter, almost magical side. While we have a 24-hour cancellation policy on most tours, we want you to have a good time. We are a small and nimble company, so we will work with you to reschedule your tour or come to a fair financial arrangement if the weather is truly miserable. If the National Park Service or Wyoming, Idaho or Montana Departments of Transportation close the roads due to hazardous conditions, we will attempt to reschedule your trip. If that is not possible, we will refund you less the costs we cannot recover or offer a credit for a tour in the future. [Jackson Hole Forecast](https://www.mountainweather.com/jackson-hole/jackson-hole-forecast/) | [Yellowstone Forecast](https://www.mountainweather.com/jackson-hole/yellowstone-park/) We came in early November & our tour was actually on a day where there was a snow storm! Rachel made the best of it & still showed us as much as she could even with the weather conditions. We saw a few moose, bald eagles, elk, and beavers. Along with a tour of the Tetons and Jackson lake. Would highly recommend. Thank you! B Bria P. November 2025on Google ##### What if my plans change? Here is our Cancellation Policy. Our goal is not to part you from your money, but to ensure you have a great experience and leave satisfied no matter what. **DAY TOURS** You get free cancellation up to 24 hours before your day tour, and we try to be flexible inside that window whenever we can. **MULTI-DAY & LARGE GROUP TOURS** These tours often require us to deposit money with third parties such as hotels or rental companies which have their own cancellation policies up to 30 days. To ensure we can recover those costs: - Cancellations made more than 35 days before departure will receive a refund less a 5% fee. - Cancellations made between 35 days and 48 hours before the tour departure will be refunded after subtracting a 10% fee plus any costs we cannot recover from third parties. We will work with our providers to get most of your money back. - Cancellations made within 48 hours of departure will not be refunded, but we are a small flexible company and will endeavor to work with you to reschedule your tour. - As you are making a significant investment in a vacation we suggest you consider purchasing travel insurance. ##### Is this tour worth the price? We understand you’re investing your vacation time and money in a curated, private experience led by passionate experts. You’ll get a fun, informative guide and control over your own route. You’ll see - far more wildlife than you’d likely find on your own, - spend less time searching for it, - get a better view of it and, - learn something about it. Most guests call it the highlight of their entire trip. We’ve led 100s of tours, only one guest has said they wish they’d have done it self-guided. Remember, our **SEE WILDLIFE OR YOUR TOUR IS FREE!** policy: if you don’t see one of these animals: Bear, Beaver, Bighorn Sheep, Bison, Coyote, Deer, Elk, Fox, Moose, Pronghorn, Otter or Wolf, we will be happy to offer you a refund. We saw breathtaking scenery, learned so much about the park, and felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This was truly a highlight of our trip and something our boys are still talking about. If you’re visiting the Tetons—especially with kids—I can’t recommend a private tour like this enough. Worth every penny! G Gina Rogers January 2026 on Google ##### Why is this better than buying seats on public tour van? We only do private tours. Compared to public tours you will - Travel in a more luxurious vehicle, - Not have your experience ruined by a stranger, - Control your own route and stops, - Have the Guide all to yourself, - Will not waste time picking up and dropping off other guests, - Not get treated like the umpteenth person going out on a tour that day, - When you get to 4 people we are about the same price as 4 seats on the van: at that point it is a no-brainer. We are not cheap, but we are fairly priced and we don’t pass huge administrative costs on to you because we don’t have them. A last minute trip curated by a hands-on owner, Liam, who actually found out it was my birthday and bought me a cake. We had a dazzling and informative tour guide, Cami, who allowed us to choose our pace and places along the way! I would highly recommend this service! D Dan and Paola Grimes August 2026 on Google ##### What National Parks Passes should I get? As most of our guests already have a parks pass or choose different types of passes, we find it is easier not to include it in the price of the tour. Passes can be purchased at: - the entrance station during the tour - online at [Recreation.gov](https://www.recreation.gov/pass) - REI Jackson Hole . Note: On a four-hour winter tour of Grand Teton, we might not enter the fee-paying area of Grand Teton National Park, so you might not need a pass at all. **U.S. Citizens & Residents** If you are just visiting one of Grand Teton or Yellowstone, it is $20/person for a 7 day pass. Each park is a separate entity so to visit both, such as on a Yellowstone Highlights Tour, will cost $40/person. An America the Beautiful Annual Pass covering entry to all National Parks for a full year is only $80. It covers a family/group of four, so it is usually the most economic option. You need to show ID when you present the annual pass card to National Park Ranger at the entrance station. Covering or defacing the image on the front of the 2026 Annual Pass can invalidate it. ([Buy Pass](https://www.recreation.gov/interagency-pass/types/resident)) **Foreign Visitors** From January 2026 foreign visitors have to pay a surcharge to enter the most popular national parks including Grand Teton and Yellowstone. If you are just visiting one of Grand Teton or Yellowstone, it is $120/person for a 7-day pass. Each park is a separate entity, so to visit both, such as on a Yellowstone Highlights Tour will cost $240/person. An America the Beautiful Annual Pass covering all National Parks is only $250. It covers a family/group of four so it is the most economic option. You need to show ID when you present the annual pass card to National Park Ranger at the entrance station. ([Buy Pass](https://www.recreation.gov/interagency-pass/types/nonresident)) ##### Are your guides qualified? Your guide will be a trained naturalist, not just a driver, who brings depth, humor, storytelling and safety expertise to your day. We all have relevant degrees and keep up with the latest science. We have first aid and food-safety training beyond what is generally required. And we are all grateful to have such an amazing job. Our guests consistently tell us the guide was “the best part of the tour.” Liam and Rachel were amazing guides. So knowledgeable about the Tetons and whole Jackson Hole area. The focus on science and history sets them apart since they can help you to really understand what you’re looking at and why it happened. B Ben Galvin June 2025 · Google ##### Is this tour okay for young kids? Absolutely. It is your private tour. There is no need to worry about what the other people in the van will think if you kid has a moment. Generally, we suggest a 4-hour tour for kids, but we’ve had toddlers do 12-hour days in Yellowstone: You know what your kids are capable of. We’ll bring some toys, antler, fur and track samples, kid-sized binoculars and phone attachments to make looking through the spotting scope a breeze, and they will leave with a little stuffed animal memento made of recycled material. Plus, For a family of 4, we are about the same price as 4 seats on the van. 10/10 for family! Great guide prepared and friendly. Would do over again and again! My young child loved it. I wasn’t sure if it would captivate him and Liam over exceeded! S Stephanie P. September 2026 on Trip Advisor ##### Are there toilets along the way? Yes. If you really need to go, we can usually get you to a pit toilet pretty quick, but we have a wide-mouthed WAG bag if your “travel tummy” won’t wait that long. If you want something a little more civilized, we can find you one of those too. In late fall, winter and early spring the options might be fewer as facilities close down. Benji was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly thoughtful. He gave us insider tips on what to look for, pointed out details we would’ve easily missed, and even advised us on which restrooms were the cleanest (a surprisingly helpful touch!) T Tara Laws. August 2025 on Google ##### What should I wear on a summer tour? Comfortable clothes and the most rugged/sporty pair of close-toed shoes you have with you. Save your glad rags for the Cowboy Bar. The dawn hours can be chilly, even in mid-summer, so be prepared to layer up with a jacket, sweater or fleece. A shell coat that will repel wind and rain is always a good idea in the mountains. ##### What should I wear on a winter tour? Expect temperatures will be below freezing and be prepared to stand outside for several minutes at time looking at wildlife in a scope. Don’t worry, it’s not Captain Scott in the Antarctic – you can warm up in the vehicle, but warm and comfortable clothes are essential; - winter hat, scarf and gloves - the most rugged/sporty pair of boots/shoes you have with you. - layer up with a puffy jacket, sweater or fleece. - a shell coat that will repel wind and rain is a perfect outer layer. ##### What vehicles does Guides of Jackson Hole operate? We operate large luxurious Ford Expedition SUVs that can seat 6 guests and carry our gear which includes a hot drinks bar. If it is a longer tour and a larger party, we might provide a van and or split your group into two separate Expeditions. In winter we will throw in some Rumpl blankets so you can stay warm when you hop out of the vehicle to view wildlife. ##### Can I bring my pet, emotional support animal or service dog on a Wildlife safari? Our STRONG recommendation is to not bring your pet. If you want a solution we have referred pets to [Dog Jax](https://dogjax.com/): my dog stays there. Dog Jax 3590 Southpark Drive Jackson, WY 83001 307.733.DOGS (3647) [\[email protected\]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#cca5a2aaa38ca8a3aba6adb4e2afa3a1) If you want to bring a pet or service dog we charge a $100/animal While we are guided by National Parks Service rules which are separate for service dogs and other pets, our first commitment is to the wildlife. **All Pets must remain inside the vehicle during all wildlife viewing stops. If we determine your pet or service dog is having a detrimental impact on wildlife, we will immediately leave the viewing area:** **This is not negotiable.** **Service Dogs** Service dogs are welcome on all tours. They are subject to the following National Park Service regulations. - A service dog is defined as a **dog individually trained to perform a specific task** for a person with a disability (physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability). - Service dogs are **not subject to pet restrictions** and may accompany their handler anywhere on the tour the handler is permitted to go, including outside the vehicle at stops where pets must otherwise remain inside. - National Park Service Rangers have the authority to determine if an animal meets the Service Dog Criteria. Rangers may ask two questions to confirm service animal status: (1) is the dog required because of a disability, and (2) what task has the dog been trained to perform? Rangers will not ask about the nature of a guest’s disability, and the Park Service does not require documentation, certification, or a vest — none of these are required under the ADA. - Service dogs must be harnessed, leashed, or otherwise tethered, unless doing so interferes with the dog’s work, in which case the handler must maintain control through voice or signal commands. **Regular Pets and Emotional Support & Comfort Animals** Emotional support, therapy, and comfort animals **do not qualify as service animals** under the ADA or Grand Teton National Park regulations, regardless of certification, registration, or documentation a guest may present. These animals are treated as regular pets under this policy and are subject to all restrictions below. Pets may join a tour under the following conditions consistent with park regulation: - Pets must be leashed (6 feet or less) or otherwise physically controlled at all times. - Pets must remain within the vehicle or within 30 feet of the roadway at any stop — they are not permitted on trails, boardwalks, in the backcountry, or in park buildings. - **Pets must remain inside the vehicle during all wildlife viewing stops.** This applies regardless of the animal’s temperament or the guest’s preference, and is non-negotiable for the safety of the pet, the group, and to minimize impacts of the wildlife. - Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet and disposing of waste properly. - Pets may not be left unattended in a manner that creates a nuisance or disturbs wildlife.

In four hours, we can cover most of Grand Teton National Park. Depending on wildlife sightings we might be pushed for time, but most people are happy to miss a view for an extra 15 minutes watching a moose. If you need more than 15-minutes extra time, you can work that out in the moment with your guide. If they have time to extend the tour, please pay them directly using cash or venmo. Other companies will charge $100s per hour to extend a trip, but we would rather not try and take payment while you are out there with dodgy cell coverage, but we trust you will reward your guide in addition to their normal tip. A must do! Our 4 hours with Cami flew by. We were shown places in the park we never would have found on our own. S Sharon A. August 2025 · Trip Advisor ##### Can we go on a guided hike in Grand Teton? There is no guided hiking permitted in Grand Teton National Park. We can take you short walks within half a mile of a trailhead but on a 4-hour tour there is usually not time for that. If you want to explore some of Grand Teton on foot we suggest our [8-hour full day tour](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34702). If you find a place you like you can return and do the hike another day. If you want a guided hike, we offer those in [Yellowstone](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34699). You can hike to a lake anywhere, but you can only visit a backcountry geyser in Yellowstone. [Click here](/no-guided-hikes-in-grand-teton/) for our list of recommended Hikes in Grand Teton. Cami, our guide, was a perfect guide for us. The trip to Yellowstone was well thought out with just the right amount of car time and hiking for us and our 8 year old. Cami was extremely well informed and we learned a ton about the native flora and wildlife. My family had an unforgettable day! S Stephen Thomas June 2025on Google ##### What's the difference between a half and full day tour? **Half-Day Tours (4 Hours)** The summer half-day tour covers most of Grand Teton National Park. In the summer when the inner park road is open, we can usually complete the loop between the inner road and the main highway. In winter (November 1 – April 30) the inner park road and many of the back roads are closed. There is more out and back travel on the main highway and Gros Ventre roads as the loops are closed off. We visit the National Elk Refuge road to look for bighorn sheep, elk and other animals, which we don’t do in summer This is plenty for most guests, and if we get delayed by a wildlife sighting we can usually add a little time to the tour. **Full-Day Tours (8 Hours)** In summer the full-day Grand Teton tour gives you more time to explore the backroads and the northern areas of the park, take short walks (up to half a mile from the trailhead) and spend more time looking for wildlife. In winter (November 1 – April 30) the inner park road and many of the back roads are closed. The full-day Grand Teton makes up for the reduced access to the park by including time at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, or on a National Elk Refuge Sleigh Ride, which is included in the price [Top](#top) [Wildlife & Natural History](#wildlife-questions) [General](#general-questions) [Grand Teton](#grand-teton-questions) [Yellowstone](#yellowstone-questions) ## Yellowstone Tour-Related Questions ##### Can you really see Yellowstone in a single day? You can’t see all of Yellowstone in one day, but you can see many of the most iconic highlights without feeling rushed. We focus on the [Lower Loop](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34683) because it delivers the several “wow” moments: Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone with its waterfalls, and the wildlife hotspot of the Hayden Valley in the least amount of drive time. That said, if you want to see all of Yellowstone, we offer [custom multi-day tours](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/36093). An Overnight stay in or near the park is necessary to see it all. An Unforgettable Yellowstone Experience – Worth Every Penny! My husband and I had an absolutely incredible day exploring Yellowstone with our private guide, Benji. Given the sheer size of the park and our limited time, I was initially nervous about trying to navigate it on our own. But from the moment our tour began, I knew we were in great hands. T Tara Laws August 2025 · Trip Advisor ##### Can we go hiking with a guide in Yellowstone? We offer guided hiking in Yellowstone. Depending on your fitness and ambition we offer hikes of various levels from a flat couple of miles around Storm Point or the Old Faithful area to 1000ft a mile lung-busters like Avalanche Peak. Our [guided day hikes](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34699) from Jackson are usually 12-hour trips and depending on the hike we can combine it with sightseeing on the way.

Cami was extremely well informed and we learned a ton about the native flora and wildlife. My family had an unforgettable day! S Stephen Thomas June 2025on Google ##### Will I miss anything important? Think of Yellowstone’s road network as a figure of 8 with branches coming off to the West, North, Northeast, East and South Entrances. On our day tour, we enter from the south and do the lower loop of the 8. You won’t miss the major must-sees like Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Hayden Valley, and the Grand Prismatic Spring. Mammoth Hot Springs, the Lamar Valley, Dunraven Pass and Tower Falls are in the northern part of the park on or off the top loop of the 8. They require an a 2-day trip from Jackson. ![a map of major roads in Yellowstone](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Map-Yellowstone-Lower-Loop-Tour-Mobile.png) ##### Do we spend most of the day in the car? Visiting Yellowstone involves driving, but we break it up with stops at scenic spots, wildlife viewing, short walks, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. It’s unlikely you will be in the vehicle for more than an hour without getting out. The drive up to and back from Yellowstone, passes through Grand Teton National Park so it’s one of the most scenic 260-mile journeys in the country, and you can relax and enjoy it without having to drive or navigate, because we do that for you. You do get out of the cars a lot, but it was nice to have room. We saw lots of animals, elk, moose, bear, bison and pronghorn. They have telescopic lenses to get better pictures during the day and then they air dropped those to us. We also had lunch near Old Faithful as we waited for the next eruption. The views we saw were amazing. M Mary Lou D. October 2025on Google ##### How do you decide what we see? Most guests are happy for us to prioritize the places with the best mix of wildlife, geology, and scenery that day. Weather, traffic, and geyser timing all influence the plan, so we adjust dynamically to get you the most out of your time. Ultimately, it is your private tour so we can cover what is important to you. If you care more about wildlife, or waterfalls, or thermal features, or photography, we adjust the focus so your day reflects your priorities. Appreciated the personalized service, flexibility, affordable pricing and Liam was a friendly and knowledgeable guide! Loved going to all the little spots others might not know about as well as the main spots you don’t want to miss too. Highly recommend Guides of Jackson Hole and put Yellowstone on your bucket list if not already! it was breathtaking. M Michelle Eckles October 2025on Google ##### Is this physically manageable? Because it is your private tour we can set a pace that is suitable for everyone from small children to their grandparents. We move at a relaxed, comfortable pace in spacious vehicles, with frequent stops and plenty of chances to stretch, learn, and enjoy the scenery. The longest you will walk is about a mile, if we choose to visit the Grand Prismatic Spring overlook. I have occasional knee issues, and Benji went out of his way to drop me off as close as possible to each site before parking the car, which made the day so much more enjoyable. T Tara Laws August 2025on Google ##### Is a 12-hour Yellowstone tour good for kids? You know if your kids can last 12-hours. The day is paced comfortably, with frequent breaks and a good mix of dramatic scenery, gentle walks, and easily accessible viewpoints: most of the boardwalks around Yellowstone are stroller friendly. We have toys for them to play with, fur, antler and track samples of them to look at and kid-sized binoculars and phone attachments on our spotting scopes so they can see the action easily. It sounds like a lot, but we’ve had several toddlers do this trip. And the beauty of doing a PRIVATE tour is you don’t have to worry about what the stranger in Seat 2A thinks if your child has a moment. ![A polaroid image of fall aspen leaves the caption: 'A stroller can handle most Yellowstone boardwalks.'](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Yellowstone-Tour-Family-Stroller-scaled.jpg) ##### What is the best tour to see all of Yellowstone? An overnight tour is required to see all the sights in Yellowstone. This gives you a chance to get to the northern part of the park, and enables us to include some short hikes if you want to stretch your legs. We even have 2-day tours dedicated to hiking. If you really want to see wolves, [2 or 3 nights](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/36093), will increase your chances significantly. One option is to fly into Bozeman, MT (BZN), have us pick you up there, tour Yellowstone for a few days and finish your vacation with 4/5 days in Jackson. My husband planned this trip with Liam for my 50th birthday celebration! Along with our guides, Liam and Benji, our family friend, and our 11-year-old daughter we shared an incredible week of wildlife sightings, backcountry, snowshoeing, geothermal features, laughter, and memories.

I'm thrilled to share and care for the awe-inspiring Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem as a wildlife/naturalist guide for GOJH. You might also find me as barista at a local cafe or working in Lift Operations at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in winter. My path to becoming a naturalist was paved by my geology studies, earning a BS from James Madison University and an MS from the University of Kentucky. My master's thesis, focused on the Teton fault and the uplift of this magnificent mountain range, truly ignited my passion for this place. While I initially pursued a PhD at Texas A&M, my deep connection to the mountains and wild spaces drew me to make the Teton-Yellowstone region my home.

Having never seen a grizzly, I was awestruck by the gorgeous gentle giant and her three cubs. Enamored with the endless natural beauty that she called home, I moved up later that year and never looked back. I was eager to put my Master of Fine Arts degree from Stephen F. Austin State University degree to use primarily through photography. Yellowstone and the Tetons unlocked a child-like fascination in me and I began absorbing as much knowledge as I could. My first guiding job in 2012 was a means to share this majestic place I'm fortunate enough to call home. As my interests have expanded, I've also guided stargazing, birding and photography tours. When not guiding, I'm likely playing with my inspiring daughter, participating in theater, writing, or finding new photographic opportunities along any of the thousands of miles of trails at my disposal.

At BC, I was able to share my love of the outdoors with others as the president of their volunteer Outdoor Adventures program. There, I guided students on trips all over New England where we learned from and celebrated the landscape around us. After graduating with a degree in Environmental Studies, I followed my interests in the outdoors to Jackson, Wyoming, where I now work as a Wrangler, Naturalist, and Guide.

I’m a Kiwi who has lived in the United States for 25 years. I spent my youth guiding trekkers on New Zealand’s Routeburn track. I loved sharing the terrain with visitors, but also came to value the familiarity with a landscape that only comes with spending a long-time in it. At the turn of the century I followed my future wife, Sarah, to Los Angeles. Her career has taken us to Portland, Oregon, Chicago and New York; Three kids in three different states in four years! I’ve worked as a website producer, user experience designer and most importantly a “Lead Parent”. As the kids began to fledge the nest, we wanted to write a new chapter of our lives out West. The Tetons are one of the few ranges in the Rockies as rugged and youthful as the Southern Alps of New Zealand, so Jackson was my first choice for a new home. Sarah wanted horses, great snow and a handy airport. Picking up a creative career at the age of 50 proved surprisingly difficult, and doing my own thing became an attractive alternative. Taking over GoJH is a return to a role that I love.

We welcome new team members. But, before you waste your time applying, please review this admittedly not particularly "welcoming" list of criteria for working with us: - ###### Be eligible to work in the US. Even if we wanted to sponsor you, the competition for work visas is prohibitive. (J1s considered) - ###### Have accommodation in Jackson. Housing is in short supply in Jackson. Van Life with a showering plan is acceptable. - ###### Be 25 or older. If you are under 25 you will need to be an extremely personable recent grad to justify the additional expense of insuring you to drive our large SUVs. - ###### Agree to a background check. Best to be open about anything more serious than minor traffic violations before we run the test. - ###### Have a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Understanding science, how some facts and theories have stood the test of time and others are still being debated, is central to how we communicate about this place. - ###### Spell our names correctly. Sheesh! It has happened more than once. Attention to detail is what sets us apart. If you are still interested, email us with a cover letter and resume attached.

We can put one of our expert naturalist guides on your coach. A step-on guide transforms a coach tour into something far more memorable. Instead of driving past a herd of bison with only a commentary track for company, your group gets a real-time, responsive naturalist who knows where the wildlife will be, what they are doing, and why it matters. Questions get answered on the spot. Unexpected sightings get explained. The whole experience becomes richer. Your guests will benefit by: - Seeing more wildlife, - Spending less time looking for it, - Getting a better view of it and, - learning something about it. Our guides have deep roots in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. They are trained naturalists, not just commentators, and they bring the same expertise and enthusiasm to a coach group as they do to our private tours. Your guide will board your coach at an agreed pickup point in Jackson and stay with your group for the duration of the tour — whether that’s a four-hour introduction to Grand Teton, a full day in Yellowstone, or a multi-day expedition taking in the best of both parks. We cover engagements from half a day up to four days, making us a flexible option for everything from a single excursion to an extended itinerary. ###### Price Includes: - Guides: They handle the natural history commentary, wildlife spotting, and any questions your group throws at them — leaving your driver to focus on the road. - Groups greater than 15 will have two guides to enable quicker set up of spotting scopes at visitation sites - Binoculars and spotting scopes with phone attachments for easy viewing and taking photographs/video, which can be shared with the guests. - Auto gratuity ###### Does Not Include: - National Park Entry. The Park Service charges commercial tours a fee based on the [seating capacity](https://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/fees.htm) of the vehicle. Generally, we find the tour operator has the most efficient system handling this at the entrance station. - Snacks or beverages. ###### Competitively Priced Step-on guiding is one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically upgrade the quality of a coach tour. Contact us to make a booking or customize an itinerary. ![Bighorn Sheep are some of the closest wildlife encounters in Jackson](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Tour-Bighorn-Ram-Close-Road.jpg "GrandTetonTourBighornRamCloseRoad Guides of Jackson Hole") Close encounters with Bighorn Sheep a common in Jackson Hole. ![Child in Carseat with Guides of Jackson Hole bear logo Coloring paper](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Corporate-Tour-Group-barns1.jpg "GrandTetonCorporateTourGroupbarns1 Guides of Jackson Hole") Iconic views of the Tetons ![A family watching wildlife on a Guided tour in Grand Teton](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Corporate-Tour-Group-Scope1.jpg "GrandTetonCorporateTourGroupScope1 Guides of Jackson Hole") Our optics will get your group close to wildlife. ![Grizzly Bear feeding on berries](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Tour-Grizzly-Eating-Berries.jpg "GrandTetonTourGrizzlyEatingBerries Guides of Jackson Hole") This grizzly was visible from the road, but off the beaten path. #### Get in Touch Every corporate safari is custom-built around your group, your schedule, and your goals.

Whether you have two dozen conference attendees or half a dozen executives looking for a private sunrise safari, need a great experience for your wedding guests, or simply something to occupy the time while you get your photos or a family reunion that needs more than a restaurant dinner to bring three generations together — we will design an adventure that all ages and abilities can share. We provide snacks and hot and cold beverages. We cannot serve alcohol but we can coordinate a visit to a restaurant or bar in or adjacent to the national park as part of the tour. ###### Private Safaris — Small Groups Small groups get the full Guides of Jackson Hole experience — a private vehicle, a passionate expert naturalist, and complete control over your day. ###### Large Group Safaris — Conferences, Reunions & Wedding Parties For bigger groups we coordinate multiple vehicles and guides, so everyone gets the same expert attention. We work with your event planner, PA, or whoever is holding the family together this year to sort out the logistics — so all you have to do is show up. ###### Why It Works Nature has a way of cutting through the noise. Spotting a grizzly or watching a bull moose wade through a river at dawn tends to put things in perspective — and gives your group a shared story that outlasts the trip itself. For corporate groups, that story gets told at the next all-hands. For wedding parties, it becomes part of how the weekend is remembered. For families, it is the moment that finally gets Grandpa and the teenagers talking about something other than their phones. We have led hundreds of private tours across Grand Teton and Yellowstone. We know where the wildlife will be, and we know how to make a group of people — whether they are business colleagues, newlyweds, or relatives who haven’t seen each other in years — feel completely at ease in the wild. ###### Price Includes: - Guides: One Guide per Vehicle. They handle the driving, natural history commentary, wildlife spotting, and any questions your group throws at them. - Binoculars and spotting scopes with phone attachments for easy viewing and taking photographs/video, - Auto gratuity - National Park Entry. The Park Service charges a [$20/person/park fee](https://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/fees.htm) Unlike our normal tours it is more efficient if we pay this directly the entrance station. - Snacks, hot and cold drinks and lunches on Full Day Tours. - Vehicles: Luxurious Ford Expedition SUVs or 15-seater Vans. Larger vehicles reduce the opportunities for wildlife viewing. ###### Price Does Not Include - Charcuterie board on Grand Teton evening tours $35/head. - We cannot provide alcoholic beverages. - Options to visit restaurants or bars withing or adjacent to the National Park are available. ![Child in Carseat with Guides of Jackson Hole bear logo Coloring paper](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Corporate-Tour-Group-barns1.jpg "GrandTetonCorporateTourGroupbarns1 Guides of Jackson Hole") Iconic views of the Tetons ![a Toddler in a stroller on a boardwalk in Yellowstone](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Corporate-Tour-Group-bar1.jpg "GrandTetonCorporateTourGroupbar1 Guides of Jackson Hole") We can include a stop at a bar or restuarant in your tour. ![A family watching wildlife on a Guided tour in Grand Teton](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Grand-Teton-Corporate-Tour-Group-Scope1.jpg "GrandTetonCorporateTourGroupScope1 Guides of Jackson Hole") Our optics will get your group close to wildlife. ![Visitors at Oxbow bend in Grand Teton National Park on a sunny fall morning.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Grand-Teton-Guests-Fall-Colors.jpg "GrandTetonGuestsFallColors Guides of Jackson Hole") Fall is conference season in Jackson Hole. #### Get in Touch Every corporate safari is custom-built around your group, your schedule, and your goals.

Sorry, It's Not Permitted, Here Are Your Options Guided hiking in Grand Teton would be our most popular tour, but the National Park Service doesn’t issue permits for anyone to offer this service. Like every other tour operator, our permit limits us to short walks within a half-mile of a trailhead. But there are options: 1. If you want to do a bunch of short walks in the Grand Teton National Park, we recommend our [Full Day Wildlife Safari](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34702). This tour has plenty of time to stroll around various stops, and of course all our tours are private, so you can do what you like within the rules and time. Even on short walks our guides carry bear spray. 2. We are able to offer day hiking in Yellowstone National Park. You can do this as a [single day trip](https://go.theflybook.com/book/1493/EntityConfig/34699) from Jackson or to incorporate it in one of our [multi-day tours.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/grand-teton-yellowstone-multi-day-tours-and-wildlife-safaris/) 3. You can do a guided hike in the National Forest or private land outside the park, but generally the best hikes are inside the Park. After all, that is the one of the reasons we have National Parks to protect the most scenic landscapes we have. You can do guided alpine climbing in the park, which involves hiking into the mountain you want to climb. 4. Do your own hike. Many of our guests ask us about the great hikes in the Park. Here is our list of favorites. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-National-Park.jpg "GrandTetonNationalPark Guides of Jackson Hole") Even on a short walk, we can take you well off the beaten path. ## Our Favorite Grand Teton Hikes Short Hikes ##### Moose Ponds 1.5 miles round trip/120ft total elevation gain. A good place to see moose from a relatively safe distance. This can be done as a short loop. We can hike to the overlook to view any moose in the spotting scope. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Moose-Ponds.jpg "GrandTetonHikeMoosePonds Guides of Jackson Hole") Moose Ponds taken with a 135mm zoom. A scope will get you “closer”. ##### Jenny Lake Upto 7 miles round trip/450ft total elevation gain. A perfect “flat” hike around the lake: the 450ft is the cumulative up and down. It can be shortened by taking [the boat](https://jennylakeboating.com/boat-trips/shuttle-service/) across the lake. Note to take the boat first and walk back or you could spend a long time waiting in the queue to board for the return journey. ![looking across a mountain lake](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Jenny-Lake-boat.jpg "GrandTetonHikeJennyLakeboat Guides of Jackson Hole") Inspiration Point & Cascade Canyon from the Jenny Lake boat. ##### Mormon Row (Winter) 1-2 miles round trip/20ft total elevation gain. In winter the road to Mormon Row is closed, but there is well-packed trail up to the barns from the parking lot at the closure. Micro-spikes or some other traction might be handy and the snow gets packed down. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Taggart-Lake-Mormon-Row-Winter.jpg "GrandTetonHikeTaggartLakeMormonRowWinter Guides of Jackson Hole") The outhouse on Mormon Row. No sitting contemplating the view! ##### Taggart Lake 3.5 miles round trip/420ft total elevation gain. One of our favorite short hikes. Great with kids. Another hike that can be extended by adding Bradley Lake to the route. In winter, you can snowshoe out onto the lake. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Taggart-Lake-Summer.jpg "GrandTetonHikeTaggartLakeSummer Guides of Jackson Hole") Taggart Lake in summer. The trailhead can be crowded. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Taggart-Lake-Winter.jpg "GrandTetonHikeTaggartLakeWinter Guides of Jackson Hole") Taggart Lake in winter. Snowshoeing on the ice-covered lake. ## Middle Distance Hikes ##### Hidden Falls & Inspiration Point from String Lake 6.2 miles round trip/700ft total elevation gain. The best way to get to Hidden Falls, without having to wait in line for the shuttle boat across Jenny Lake. Trust us, in summer the line for the return trip can get long. For a fun variation, continue past Inspiration Point and take the less-crowded horse trail down to the lake. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Jenny-Lake-From-Inspiration-Point.jpg "GrandTetonHikeJennyLakeFromInspirationPoint Guides of Jackson Hole") Jackson Hole and Jenny Lake from Inspiration Point. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Inspiration-Point.jpg "GrandTetonHikeInspirationPoint Guides of Jackson Hole") The switchbacks between Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. ##### Phelps Lake Jumping Rock from Death Canyon Trailhead. 5.6 miles round trip/1,000ft total elevation gain. This is a fun one on a hot summer day, but bring your bear spray; the trail from the overlook to the lake is a favorite haunt for the park’s black bears. Jumping off the rock will push you out of your comfort zone. The teenagers will love this hike. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Phelps-Lake-Jumping-Rock.jpg "GrandTetonHikePhelpsLakeJumpingRock Guides of Jackson Hole") Jumping into Phelps Lake. ##### Cascade Canyon 10 miles round trip from boat drop off/1,200ft total elevation gain. This is an extension of the Inspiration Point hike. It is relatively flat once you get into the canyon. ![A moose in a pond](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Grand-Teton-Hike-Cascade-Canyon.jpg "GrandTetonHikeCascadeCanyon Guides of Jackson Hole") It is 5 miles from the wharf to the fork in the canyon. --- ### [Family Tours of Yellowstone and Grand Teton: Kid Approved](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/family-tours-of-yellowstone-and-grand-teton-kid-approved/) **Published:** August 30, 2025 **Author:** guidesofjh **Content:** ## Family Tours Kid Approved & Parent Friendly Private Tours in Grand Teton & Yellowstone ![Parents walk their toddler towards the Moulton Barns in Grand Teton National Park](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Grand-Teton-Family-Tour-Toddler-Mormon-Barn.jpg "GrandTetonFamilyTourToddlerMormonBarn Guides of Jackson Hole") From toddlers to … ![Two teenage girls look at a bison by a mud pool in Yellowstone.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Yellowstone-Family-Tour-Bison-Mudpool.jpg "YellowstoneFamilyTourBisonMudpool Guides of Jackson Hole") … teenagers: we have entertained them all. # Why Trust Us With Your Family's Vacation Time? 1.

There are plenty of stops and lots of wildlife to keep them occupied. Plus 4 hours is well within the average child’s attention span. It is a perfect first-day activity. 1. It will help you get your bearings. 2. It is not strenuous so it will ease you into acclimating to the altitude. 3. The early dawn start should be no problem if you are on East Coast Time. ## Grand Teton Dawn/Dusk Wildlife Safari - Summer Starting from $650 (4 Hours) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ##### We really want to see Yellowstone It is a 12-hour day to visit Yellowstone from Jackson. That sounds like a parent’s worst nightmare, but we have taken toddlers as young as 18 months on these tours. It is really up to you: you know what your child is capable of better than we do. If they need a moment, or to stop and burn off some energy, it is your tour and we can accommodate their needs. ## Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour Starting from $1350 (12 Hours) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ##### We really want to see Yellowstone, but 12 hours in a car is too much Our Yellowstone guided day hike is 10-12 hours and much more active than the Lower Loop Tour. Our guides carry bear spray, have wilderness first aid qualifications and are trained to give wildlife enough space, so you don’t have to worry about safety logistics. We’ve had kids as young as 8 do 7-mile hikes in Yellowstone. Again, you know your kids best. We have a favorite hike to Imperial Geyser and Fairy Falls. It is flat and captures the essence of Yellowstone including an overlook of the Grand Prismatic Spring. And then there was 10-year-old Johanna who chased her older brothers up Avalanche Peak. That’s 2,000 feet up in just over 2 miles. ## Yellowstone Guided Day Hike Starting from $1350 (10-12 Hours) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ##### I heard Yellowstone is huge. We’ll be here once, how can we see it all? Think of Yellowstone as a figure of 8: the Grand Loop Road with branch roads coming off it to the North, Northeast, East, South and West entrances. The Lower Loop Tour from Jackson only covers the bottom of the figure of 8. If you want to visit the Mammoth Hot Springs or the Lamar Valley in addition to Old Faithful, the primary thermal areas, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Lake; you will need at least two days. We suggest a tour that starts with a pickup in Bozeman, MT, explores Yellowstone for two or more days and finishes in Jackson, WY. There is more than enough to do in Jackson to fill in the rest of your vacation. You can do this in reverse but aim to spend the extra time in Jackson. It is smaller, more scenic and has more of that Western charm than Bozeman. ## Yellowstone Multi-Day Tour - Summer Custom Price MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ##### We’ve done the National Parks. Is there something different? We are glad you asked. Our Tetons to Petroglyphs Tour takes you over the Continental Divide to Dubois, WY. There we visit the lovely Torrey Valley which is the site of some mystical Shoshone rock art. This is our favorite tour to lead. The Torrey Valley is a hidden gem and the petroglyphs are depictions of spirits that visited the creators during a Vision Quest. So they have a surreal quality. ## Grand Teton & Mystical Rock Art - Summer Starting from $1200 (10hrs) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ##### We are coming in Winter, what are the options? Our **4-hour Grand Teton tour** is popular. In winter the elk and bighorn sheep migrate down to the National Elk Refuge just north of Jackson, and where there are elk, there are wolves hunting them. Winter is the best time to see wolves in Jackson Hole. Winter is also a great time to see moose. The **Petroglyphs Tour** also runs in winter. That is great if you have already been to Jackson before and know the park well. Finally, we recommend an **Overnight trip to the Snow Lodge at Old Faithful**. Winter is our favorite time to visit Old Faithful. The crowds are replaced by a herd of bison which seek out the warm ground around the thermal features. You have to book this in advance, as accommodation is limited. ![A girl pretends a Yellowstone geyser is shooting out of her mouth.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Yellowstone-Tour-Family-Geyser-Fun.jpg "YellowstoneTourFamilyGeyserFun Guides of Jackson Hole") Having fun with nature! ## Grand Teton Dawn/Dusk Wildlife Safari - Winter Starting from $650 (4hrs) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ## Grand Teton & Mystical Rock Art - Winter Starting from $1200 (10hrs) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ## Yellowstone Multi-Day Tour - Winter Starting from $2,300 (2 Days) MORE INFO / BOOK NOW ## What Other Families Are Saying We had an amazing time with Cami. She was an excellent tour guide and engaged so well with my kids. Liam was incredibly helpful before the trip helping us plan our overall itinerary. When we return to GTNP we will definitely use Guides of Jackson Hole again. C Colette C. January 2026 on Trip Advisor We saw breathtaking scenery, learned so much about the park, and felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This was truly a highlight of our trip and something our boys are still talking about. If you're visiting the Tetons—especially with kids—I can't recommend a private tour like this enough. Worth every penny! G Gina Rogers January 2026 on Google 10/10 for family! Great guide prepared and friendly. Would do over again and again! My young child loved it.

Would highly recommend. M Matt Poff August 2025 on Trip Advisor We had the best time thanks to an excellent guide! Rachel is the best. Very knowledgeable about animals and geology, she's great with kids, an excellent host and a safe driver. We visited so many beautiful places and spotted so many amazing animals.

I felt like our guide was family, o would never been able to see all the things on my own. I would absolutely recommend this company, in fact next trip booking again! S Sean Love September 2025 on Google Our guide, Cami, was a huge part of what made this tour so special. Her expertise and enthusiasm added so much depth to the experience. She shared great insights about the wildlife, history, and geology of the area, and her ability to answer even the science questions (especially from my curious son!) was impressive.. F Ferrell MacDonald July 2026 on Google A couple hours before our dusk tour, I texted Liam to ask if he could fit in a picnic. He immediately said yes, and we had a picnic in the most beautiful location. It was the perfect end to a beautiful evening. We love to take private tours on our trips, and Guides of Jackson Hole proved to be the perfect company to use.

We are a small group with a relentless focus on the people entrusting us with their money and vacation time. We attend to the details and work with you to build a personal experience. ##### Second, It's Based On Science We believe in science. Guides of Jackson Hole was founded by a renowned local botanist and we're proud that all of our guides have science degrees. Science underpins the stories we tell about the land and its wildlife, whether that is an interesting fact or the ingenuity of a scientist that led to its discovery. Far from the established facts taught in school, we appreciate that at the edges of inquiry science is debated and ever-evolving. ![Guests with Guides of Jackson Hole enjoy a picnic near Jackson Lake](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Picnic-by-Jackson-Lake.jpg "PicnicbyJacksonLake Guides of Jackson Hole") Beth wanted a picnic on her dusk tour so we made it happen. ##### Third, Conservation The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is as close as you can get to the wild America of pre-Columbian times. It has been preserved and restored by those who came before us for you to enjoy. Our hope is that by sharing this land with you—showing you its wonders and detailing the lives of its wild inhabitants—you too will be enlisted to help in its continued conservation. We recognize what we do is a compromise: the interface between the human and wild worlds is complex. We're excited to offer guests up close access to Yellowstone's greatest wildlife while prioritizing minimal impact on the animals' behavior. We aim to give guests an authentic look into how these animals live while championing the continued preservation of the 50,000 acres of wilderness that they call home. ![Trevor Bloom looks through a spotting scope with crowd behing him.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Crowd-of-people-watching-wildlife.jpg "Crowdofpeoplewatchingwildlife Guides of Jackson Hole") Wonder what the animal being watched makes of this? ###### Conservation Challenges We also recognize three other realities: First, not all our neighbors value the bear or the wilderness as much as we do. Their concerns are legitimate, and need to be listened to. Second, we cannot talk of this being close to a Pre-Columbian ecosystem without acknowledging the descendants of the first people on this land. They have been impacted over the last 500 years as much as the wildlife. Third, conservation can have unintended consequences. 97% of the land in Teton County is federally owned. Much of what's left is placed under Conservation Easements, leaving little land for "development". We've had guides living in vans and hotel rooms. We have to find a balance between the housing needs of the people who make your vacation great, with the preservation of the wild lands you've come to see. ![Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative logo over landscape with buffalo grazing.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Support-Wind-River-Buffalo-Tribal-Initiative.jpg "SupportWindRiverBuffaloTribalInitiative Guides of Jackson Hole") Reconnecting Eastern Shoshone & Northern Arapaho people to buffalo.

The milk you don't finish is perfect in my coffee. ###### Refuse: Deciding Not To Use Things: While it would be easier to serve hot drinks in a disposable cup, we serve ours in a Yeti mug. Our array of cold drinks come in aluminum bottles and cans. Plus, the drinks you enjoy on your trip are heated and cooled by renewable energy. We'd love to get rid of pre-packaged snacks but that butts up against food hygiene and food waste considerations. ###### Reduce: Minimizing the Use of Things We try to reduce the number of trips we take into town by being thoughtful about what needs to be done on each visit. When we stop to view wildlife, snap scenic photos or pick you up for a tour, we follow a no idling policy. ###### Recycle: Give Resources A Second Chance Recycling in a mountain town is strict, but we are committed to using things that can be recycled. Or in the case of the soft toys we give out to kids, are made from [recycled materials](https://shop.wildrepublic.com/products/pocketkins-eco-bison-5?variant=49246543020342). ###### Sustainability Is Also A Challenge. Buying local is a great idea, but this valley is not capable of feeding the people who live here, and raw food we serve like cocoa, coffee and tea can't be grown here. And then there is the elephant in the room for all places trying to do tourism sustainably: Flying. We know most of you flew here, as we do when we leave on our vacations. Often there is no practical alternative. ![Sachets of Purity Coffee, Choice Tea and Mike & Jen's hot chocolate](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Guides-of-Jackson-Hole-Tea-Coffee-Cocoa-1.jpg "GuidesofJacksonHoleTeaCoffeeCocoa Guides of Jackson Hole") We serve hot drinks with good intentions. ###### A Shout Out To Our Suppliers We picked these small brands with a commitment to doing good.

Trevor and Tres met in the cafeteria at Jackson Hole High School back in 2006, and have been friends and adventure partners ever since. We pride ourselves on being the only wildlife and naturalist guide company in Jackson founded by true Wyoming locals – and look forward to offering the finest custom-tailored experiences for anyone. ![Trevor Bloom and Tres Plummer, high school friends and founders of Guides of Jackson Hole.](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Trevor-Bloom-and-Tres-Plummer.jpg "TrevorBloomandTresPlummer Guides of Jackson Hole") Trevor and Tres: two school-mates with a big idea. ##### 2024 Onwards In 2024, as the work and family commitments that make life in one’s thirties a little fuller started to limit their capacity to operate the business, Trevor and Tres began the search for someone with the shared vision to take GoJH to the next level. That person ended up being Liam Robb O’Hagan, a Kiwi expat with a background as a hiking guide on the Routeburn Track in New Zealand. Liam shares Trevor and Tres’ love of the outdoors and a dedication to preserving it by educating visitors to wild places and enlisting them in the conservation cause. ![Trevor Bloom and Liam Robb O'Hagan exchange the keys for a Guides of Jackson Hole vehicle on the Jackson Town Square](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Change-of-ownership-Guides-of-Jackson-Hole.jpg "ChangeofownershipGuidesofJacksonHole Guides of Jackson Hole") Trevor handing the keys over to Liam. --- ### [Contact Us: We love to hear from our guests](https://guidesofjacksonhole.com/contact-us/) **Published:** June 25, 2025 **Author:** guidesofjh **Content:** ## Contact Us If, like us, you hate looking for contact information, only to find it “hidden” in a form, this is the place for you!

Guides were traditionally part of the “tipped” workforce, and we hope you will consider this when you take a tour. We believe in the original meaning of the acronym TIPS: To Incentivize Professional Service. As such we suggest a tip of between 10-25% of the price of the tour, with the exact amount reflection of your satisfaction with your guides’ service.
