Wildlife
A big day in Grand Teton and Yellowstone, we leave Jackson very early, touring through the Tetons on our way to Yellowstone. We spend up to 14 hours exploring Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, Lower Yellowstone Falls, the Hayden Valley and Lake Butte all while searching for wildlife.
We’ll have artisan muffins for breakfast on our way out of town, enjoy a picnic lunch when weather allows and are out from dawn to dusk. We will have snacks and refreshments all day long. You will also have access to reference materials, spotting scopes and binoculars.
You will have a chance to see moose, elk, bison, bears, wolves, otters, osprey and more wildlife on this adventure.
We will have plenty of time to stop and take photos along the way as we talk about the human and natural history of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem throughout the day. You will come away enlightened and entertained.
Because this is a private tour we can tailor our destinations and stops to your specific interests without having to worry about keeping a schedule.
Our private Yellowstone Lower Loop safari starts at $1200 for the first two guests. Each additional guest is $100 up to a maximum of 12. You will also need a parks pass for every four guests.
Flexibility is key to a lower loop safari.
We’ll leave Jackson in the pre-dawn, but have some 90 minutes of driving through Grand Teton National Park just to get to Yellowstone. If we see something great, we’ll want to stop and have a look.
Once we get in to Yellowstone we will go with the latest information we have on wildlife sightings. If, for example, we have information that wolves are out somewhere we might divert from our regularly scheduled route.
We will typically drive the loop in a counter-clockwise pattern, getting provisions for a picnic lunch at Fishing Bridge after checking for grizzly bears. We have a couple of favored picnic spots on either end of the Hayden Valley.
Then it is on to Lower Yellowstone Falls and around to Old Faithful. We try to get there late enough in the afternoon that the crowds are beginning to thin out. We will factor in time to see Grand Prismatic.
Then it is back through the Tetons to Jackson. We’ll leave some daylight on the table for any wildlife viewing or photographing opportunities as we wind our way back to town in time for you to have a late supper.
Fill out the contact form, drop us an email or give us a call.
Once we’ve answered all your questions and you’ve decided that you want to go we will send you a confirmation verifying all of the details. Confirm that we have everything correct and we will see you at your lodging.
Easy peasy.
