Summer (June-August) is the peak season with warm weather and all park facilities open.||Fall (September-October) offers brilliant foliage, active wildlife (like the elk rut), and fewer tourists.||Spring (April-May) is a time of renewal, with blooming wildflowers and baby animals, though some roads may still be snow-covered.||Winter (November-March) provides a quiet, snowy wonderland for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and viewing the massive elk herds in the nearby National Elk Refuge.
Dress in layers you can add or remove as temperatures change throughout the day.|A waterproof and windproof jacket is highly recommended, as mountain weather is unpredictable and afternoon showers are common.|Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes or hiking boots, even for vehicle-based tours.|Bring a warm hat and gloves for early morning or evening tours, even in summer.
Grand Teton National Park is rich with history, from the early Paleo-Indian inhabitants to the fur trappers of the 19th century. The park's creation was a hard-fought battle, championed by philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr., who secretly bought up land in the valley to donate to the federal government. The iconic barns of Mormon Row stand as a testament to the hardy homesteaders who settled this beautiful but challenging landscape in the late 1800s.

Real experiences from real travelers
My wife and I took a sunset wildlife tour, and it was the highlight of our US trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and found us a moose with her calf, a huge herd of bison, and even a grizzly bear from a safe distance! The booking process was seamless, and the views of the Tetons at sunset were something I'll never forget. Worth every penny.
I was impressed with how easy it was to compare different safari options and book the one that fit our schedule. The tour itself was fantastic. The open-roof vehicle gave us unobstructed views, and the guide provided high-quality binoculars for everyone. We saw so much more than we ever could have on our own. Highly recommend booking through this platform.
We opted for a scenic float on the Snake River. It was a peaceful, relaxing way to see the mountains from a different perspective. While not a 'thrill' ride, it was incredibly beautiful. Our guide shared stories about the area's history and geology. My only wish is that it was longer! A lovely afternoon.
As a photographer, I chose the sunrise tour. It was the best decision. The light on the mountains was magical. The guide knew all the best spots for photos, away from the main crowds. We saw pronghorn and elk in the morning mist. Booking was easy and communication was clear. I got some of my best photos of the trip.
We traveled with our two kids (10 and 12) and the 4-hour wildlife tour was perfect. The guide was great with the children, answering all their questions and keeping them engaged. We saw a bald eagle, bison, and pronghorn. Using the platform to find a family-friendly tour with great reviews gave us peace of mind.
We did a half-day tour on our first day in Jackson Hole. It was an excellent way to get our bearings and see the main highlights without the stress of driving and navigating. The guide gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. The van was comfortable and clean. A solid experience overall.
We visited in late May and the wildlife was so active! We saw newborn bison calves and a black bear. Our guide was a biologist and his passion for the ecosystem was infectious. Booking was straightforward and the tour partner was professional and on time. Don't hesitate to visit in the spring!
I have no words for the beauty of this place. The guided tour allowed us to just soak it all in. The guide provided snacks and water, which was a nice touch. We learned so much and felt very safe, especially regarding the wildlife. A must-do experience when visiting Wyoming.
Everything you need to know for your journey
A Grand Teton National Park entrance pass is required for any entry, including for taking a tour. Most tour prices listed on our partner sites like GetYourGuide do NOT include the park entrance fee, which you must pay separately per vehicle or per person upon entry. The standard pass is valid for 7 days. Always check the 'what's not included' section of your tour booking to confirm.
The best time depends on your interests. Summer (June-August) offers full access and warm weather but is the most crowded. Fall (September-October) is spectacular for fall colors, elk bugling, and fewer crowds. Spring (April-May) is great for seeing newborn animals, but some roads may still be closed. Winter (November-March) offers a serene, snowy landscape perfect for snowshoeing and wildlife viewing in the National Elk Refuge.
Absolutely. A guided tour provides immense value. Local guides are experts in wildlife spotting and know the best times and places to find animals like bears, moose, elk, and bison. They also share fascinating insights into the park's geology, history, and ecology that you would miss on your own. Plus, you can relax and enjoy the scenery while they handle the driving and logistics.
Wildlife in Grand Teton is truly wild. Always maintain a safe distance: at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards from all other wildlife. Never feed the animals. When on a tour, your guide will ensure these safety protocols are followed. If driving on your own, be alert for animals on or near the road, especially at dawn and dusk.
Layering is essential as mountain weather changes rapidly. We recommend moisture-wicking base layers, a fleece or warm mid-layer, and a waterproof/windproof outer jacket. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are a must. Also bring a sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
Most tours, especially wildlife safaris, are suitable for all ages. However, some activities like long hikes or certain float trips may have age or fitness recommendations. Always check the specific tour details before booking. For families with very young children, shorter tours are often a better choice.
Yes, many of our partner operators offer pickup from hotels and designated locations in Jackson and Teton Village. This adds significant convenience, saving you the hassle of parking and navigating to a meeting point. You can filter for tours that include hotel pickup when browsing options.
Booking in advance, especially for the peak summer months of July and August, is highly recommended. Tours, particularly the popular sunrise and sunset wildlife safaris, can sell out weeks or even months ahead of time. Booking early through our platform secures your spot and often provides better pricing.
Our platform connects you with a wide range of experiences from top-rated local operators. You can book wildlife safaris in customized safari-style vehicles, scenic float trips on the Snake River, guided hiking tours for all fitness levels, photography workshops, and private tours for a more personalized adventure. Each offers a unique way to experience the park's grandeur.
