National Elk Refuge Tours and Activities

There’s a special beauty to Grand Teton National Park in the snowy silence of winter, free of the summertime crowds. On this Grand Teton day trip from Jackson Hole, a guide helps you search for bison and bighorn sheep, and you could also see moose, coyotes, eagles, or even wolves. In addition, visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art as well as the National Elk Refuge, where you ride past herds of powerful elk on a comfortable, horse-drawn sleigh.

Grand Teton National Park is one of the most scenic national parks in the world, with the magnificent Teton Range being the center of attention. The jagged mountains rise an impressive 7,000 vertical feet above the Town of Jackson. As the youngest mountain range in the Rocky Mountains, very little erosion has taken place which allows for such an amazing landscape.
