Grand Teton Private Sunset Tour from Jackson Hole — Oxbow Bend, Mormon Row & Wildlife
Watch the Tetons harden into silhouette on a private sunset tour from Jackson Hole — a short, expert-led circuit to Oxbow Bend, Mormon Row, Jenny and Jackson lakes, and prime wildlife viewing with a picnic dinner included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers for evening chill
Even summer evenings can drop quickly; bring an insulating mid-layer and a windproof shell to stay comfortable at sunset.
Bring binoculars
Binoculars let you scan riverbanks and far ridgelines for moose, elk, and bison without disturbing animals.
Keep camera gear light and quick
A fast 70–200mm and a wide-angle cover most compositions — avoid swapping lenses near dusty roads or in the dark.
Respect wildlife distance
Follow your guide’s instructions — do not approach bears, bison or elk; use zoom lenses instead of closing the gap.
