Thousands of mule deer, elk, moose, big horn sheep and bison migrate into the valley in search of food each year along with coyotes, fox, bald and golden eagles, swans, and even packs of wolves. This gathering of wintering wildlife makes winter one of the best times to view wildlife in Jackson Hole!
After a full morning in the field we will enjoy lunch together at a local eatery before heading back out for the afternoon. When available, we will take a horse drawn sleigh through the National Elk Refuge into the middle of the largest wild elk herd in North America. Following the sleigh ride, we will head back into the field to spot more wildlife.

Wonderful tour - saw lots of wildlife, had a great lunch, and our guide was fabulous, entertaining, extremely knowledgable, and passionate. The only disappointment was that the sleigh ride was canceled without prior warning, despite there being plenty of snow still - and 8 hours was a long time to be largely confined to a van. If you can catch the tour when the sleigh rides are still available, I'd highly recommend.

My husband and I loved this tour! It was our first time in Jackson Hole, so we were excited to see the wildlife of the area. Our guide, Dave, took excellent care of us. There were snacks and drinks to enjoy throughout our tour, and he was great at sharing tons of history and trivia with us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The sleigh ride at the end was a fun way to see the National Elk Refuge. We would definitely recommend this trip to everyone who visits.

Jimmy was a most informative and pleasant guide for a wonderful day of touring. We saw one of the "big five": elk, buffalo, big horn sheep, eagles and moose with a spotting telescope. Sleigh ride as a highlight. Highly recommended tour!
