Private Grand Teton Sunset Wildlife Tour from Jackson Hole
Chase golden-hour light across the Snake River and Tetons on a private sunset tour from Jackson Hole. Local guides hunt for bison, moose and scenic stops like Oxbow Bend and Mormon Row while you enjoy a picnic dinner and binoculars included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Even summer nights cool quickly in the valley—bring a warm layer and windproof shell for sunset stops.
Bring your own camera kit
A telephoto (100–300mm) helps with wildlife shots; a wide-angle captures the Tetons and barns in one frame.
Keep a safe distance from wildlife
Follow your guide’s spacing rules—never approach animals, and stay inside the vehicle if instructed.
Charge your devices
Battery drain is real in cold light—bring a portable charger for phones and cameras.
