About this activity
You’ll be picked up from your Jackson hotel in the early morning for a 30-minute drive north by comfortable air-conditioned coach to Grand Teton National Park, located 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone. This world-renowned park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains, as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole.
After entering the park (entrance fee at additional cost), stop at the Chapel of the Transfiguration, a small log cabin built in 1925 to serve the guests and employees of the nearby dude ranches. Listed on the US National Register of Historic Places, the chapel frames a views of the tallest peaks of the Teton Range, known as the Cathedral Group.
Continue to Menor’s Ferry, a Snake River ferry serving the Jackson Hole area in the late 1800s. Here, you'll also visit Maud Noble’s Cabin, another site listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. As you walk around the homestead, you'll learn how the area’s early pioneers once lived from your guide.
After your interesting historical visits, it’s time to appreciate Grand Teton National Park’s epic beauty. Venture to crystal-clear Jenny Lake to gaze in amazement at the Tetons and learn about historical mountain men such as Jim Bridger, John Colter and Beaver Dick.
Next, stop at one of the park's lodges for lunch -- there are several dining options to choose from (own expense). Your afternoon starts with a visit to the shores of Jackson Lake to soak up more views of the serene landscape and point out some wildlife, flora and fauna. As your guide will explain, this region is home to more than 1,000 species of plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds and several species of fish, reptiles and amphibians. A surprising fact: The park’s pristine ecosystem is home to many species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times!
Your last stop in the park is the Colter Bay Visitor Center, where you can observe a vast array of never-before-seen Indian artifacts. On the way back to Jackson, pass the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River to view moose, eagles, beaver and other wildlife. You'll arrive back at your hotel at approximately 3:30pm.

A must see! The guide was awesome and made the trip fun and educational. Saw lots of wildlife too, we had ample time to admire the beautiful scenery
What a wonderful way to see so much of Grand Teton National Park in a short period of time! I took my parents on a trip to Jackson Hole this summer, and this tour was perfect for all of us. Our guide, Mike Spotts (ask for him by name!) was a phenomenal resource and the BEST tour guide any of us had ever had. He took us to spectacular spots off the beaten path - places we never would have found on our own! He also knew more about the area than any of the other tour guides we had during our trip. The natural beauty in the park was incredible and Mike's commentary enhanced the experience tenfold.
Loved this tour! That Grand Tetons are a beautiful sight to behold. The weather was absolutely breathtaking and this day trip was a photographer's delight.
This was such a wonderful day - seeing all the iconic vistas was a dream come true. Jesse shared so much history of Jackson Hole and our favorite experience was being up top on Signal Mountain. So glad the beauty is being preserved and we felt privileged to share our time with other travelers. Seeing the wildlife up close makes you feel like a kid again.
We had a great time on our trip. The scenery was breathtaking, the tour was well planned, and the guide interesting and informative. We saw things and visited places we would never have seen had we tried to make this tour on our own. Our tour guide was excellent. He suggested places to take photos and even used our camera to take photos of me and my wife. Overall it was a memorable experience I'd recommend.
Our guide Bob was fantastic! Knowledgeable and with a great passion for the beauty and history around us, Bob was everything you would wish for and more! The group was small and ready for adventure so as a whole we had a blast. We enjoyed all of the stops along the way and lunch overlooking the lake was spectacular. We learned so much about the creation and history of this gorgeous park and definitely walked away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Grand Teton National Park.
