Sunset Wildlife Tour in Grand Teton National Park from Jackson Hole
Ride into golden-hour silence and watch the Tetons sharpen against the sky on a private sunset tour from Jackson. Expect close views of Oxbow Bend, Mormon Row’s historic barns, Jenny and Jackson Lakes, and a focused search for moose, bison and other valley residents.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Temperatures can drop quickly after sunset at ~6,200 ft; bring a warm shell and insulating mid-layer even in summer.
Bring insect repellent
Mosquitoes and midges are active near lakes at dusk—repellent makes photos and stops more comfortable.
Use provided optics sparingly
Binoculars are included; use them before stepping out to avoid startling wildlife and follow your guide’s instructions.
Charge camera batteries
Sunset lines up fast—fully charged batteries and extra memory will ensure you don’t miss the moment.
