Frequently Asked Questions
What wildlife can we expect to see in winter?
Winter concentrates many species in lower elevations, making this an excellent season for wildlife viewing. Common sightings include elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mule deer, trumpeter swans, bald eagles, and red foxes. The National Elk Refuge is a highlight, and while bears are hibernating, wolves and coyotes are occasionally observed in open meadows.
What is included in the winter safari?
Your winter experience includes a knowledgeable naturalist guide, a heated, comfortable safari vehicle, high-end spotting scopes and binoculars, hot drinks, and snacks.
How should we dress for a winter safari?
Winter temperatures in Jackson Hole can be extremely cold. We strongly recommend warm winter layers, insulated boots, gloves, hats, and a heavy winter coat. Hand warmers are helpful, and we encourage guests to bring them, though our guides often have extras available. Even though vehicles are heated, much of the best wildlife viewing happens outside.
Do winter roads affect the tour?
Our guides are highly experienced winter drivers, and our vehicles are equipped for snow and ice. However, winter weather can affect routes, timing, and visibility. Safety is always our highest priority, and guides may adjust the itinerary to ensure safe and rewarding wildlife viewing.
How much time do we spend outside the vehicle in winter?
Winter stops are typically shorter than in summer due to colder temperatures. Expect frequent but brief opportunities to step out and use the spotting scope, with your guide choosing safe, sheltered, and scenic locations. Guests are always welcome to stay in the warm vehicle during any stop.
