Frequently Asked Questions
What can we expect to see on the float?
This gentle two-hour float highlights some of the most stunning scenery in Grand Teton National Park. Guests often enjoy views of the Teton Range, quiet stretches of the Snake River, and wildlife such as bald eagles, moose, beavers, elk, mule deer, and waterfowl. Every trip is unique based on seasonal movement and river conditions.
Where does the scenic float launch?
All scenic floats with Solitude Float Trips launch from Deadman’s Bar inside Grand Teton National Park. This exclusive put-in provides direct access to one of the most peaceful, scenic stretches of the Snake River. We do not launch from Wilson Boat Ramp.
What should we wear and bring?
Weather can shift quickly along the Snake River. We recommend dressing in layers and wearing shoes that can get a little wet. Sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are helpful on sunny days. Bringing a small camera, phone, or reusable water bottle is encouraged.
How wet do guests get on the scenic float?
This is a calm, non-whitewater stretch of the river, so guests typically stay dry. Minimal splashes may occur near the shoreline or from paddles, but this trip is designed for comfort and easy sightseeing. Your guide at the oars will navigate the smoothest channels whenever possible.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?
Wildlife is abundant along the Snake River, but sightings can never be guaranteed. Our guides are highly experienced naturalists who understand seasonal patterns and river habitats, increasing your chances of seeing animals during the trip. Even without wildlife, the scenery alone makes the float unforgettable.
