Wildlife Discovery Expedition

Highlights / General details

The full-day Wildlife Discovery Expedition offers numerous opportunities to view and learn about wildlife. For many participants, this is the highlight of their vacation in Jackson Hole. Our biologists know the best areas for viewing wildlife and can answer your questions about wildlife, geology and local history. Our comfortable, customized, safari-style vehicles have retractable roof hatches and sliding windows that allow for easy wildlife observation. The day begins with an early morning drive through spectacular Grand Teton National Park and surrounding Bridger-Teton National Forest, providing a chance to view wildlife in the quiet dawn hours. Following lunch, we continue our search for wildlife and enjoy a short walk or snowshoe. We return late in the afternoon, completing an exciting day of observing and learning about this magnificent ecosystem. To protect the environment, vehicle travel is restricted to established roads. Roads range from paved highways to secondary dirt roads. The guide will choose the route based on group interest and recent wildlife sightings. Wildlife Discovery Expedition with Technology includes participation in a citizen science project using technology.
