About the Grand Teton Tour

Drive through beautiful mountain passes, dig into the storied past of this mountain range, and go on hikes you’ll never forget. Plus, get to know the local wildlife on a real-life elk refuge on this Grand Teton tour!

About the Yellowstone Tour

What You'll See

Teton Village
Teton Village is more like a ski resort than a town. The whole village is centered around the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Skiing is a HUGE deal here. You can probably see why: these mountains are home to dozens of ski runs.
Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve
Right now, you’re driving through the lush Laurence S. Rockefeller Wildlife Preserve. If you’re wondering why there needs to be a wildlife preserve directly adjacent to a national park, well, that’s a great question! See, much of the land that now makes up the park was actually donated to the government by John D. Rockefeller.
Taggart Lake Trailhead
If you’re looking for a lengthy but easy hike, park in the lot that’s coming up now. This leads to the Taggart Lake Trail, a 6-mile loop that leads to a pair of huge, pristine lakes: Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake.
Teton Glacier Turnout
From here you can get a great look at Teton Glacier. This isn’t just the largest glacier in the park, it’s also situated on the park’s tallest mountain: Grand Teton. This glacier is absolutely massive... but it used to be much bigger.
Jenny Lake
Welcome to the shores of Jenny Lake. This gorgeous lake gets its name from Jenny, an Eastern Shoshone woman who worked as a guide for the Hayden Survey.
Cascade Canyon
"Pull into the turnout just ahead and park. From here you have a great view of Cascade Canyon. The same glacier that carved out the Jenny Lake Basin also did a number on the mountain range surrounding it. Cascade Canyon formed 12,000 years ago by a retreating ice sheet."
Mount Moran
This spot offers great views of Mount Moran, which rises 6,000 feet above Jackson Lake. The high altitudes of this mountain are cold enough to keep glaciers intact.
Jackson Lake Dam
"Up ahead is the Jackson Lake Dam, a splendid place for some quick photos. On one side of the dam is Jackson Lake. On the other, excess water cascades into the gently flowing Snake River far below. "
Colter Bay
Welcome to Colter Bay! You're driving through a central camping hub. With 250 campsites and 208 cabins, there's no shortage of places for visitors to crash. Most of the log cabins are from historic dude ranches from throughout Wyoming who sold their land to the national park. Now that's recycling!
Jackson Lake Overlook
Pull into the turnout just ahead for some truly incredible views. From here you can see just about the entirety of Jackson Lake, as well as the majestic Tetons beyond.
Cattleman's Bridge
"If you'd like to visit the Cattleman's Bridge Site, take a right at the upcoming intersection. If not, continue straight. Cattleman's Bridge is a remnant of the cattle ranches of Jackson's early years. Every day, the ranchers herded their cows across Jackson Dam to the other side of Snake River."
Oxbow Bend
This is Oxbow Bend. Here, Snake River seems to make a U-turn. A river shaped like this is called an "oxbow," after the U-shaped collar that farmers use to yoke oxen.
Snake River Overlook
When you take in this view, you're recreating one of the most famous photographs of all time. In 1942, nature photographer Ansel Adams captured one of his most famous images, called The Tetons and Snake River.
Teton Point Turnout
This spot reveals how global climate change can affect the very shape of the earth. From this vantage point, you might notice some weird formations in the landscape.
Glacier View Turnout
Here, you can come face-to-face with three glaciers all at once! If you focus on the tallest peak in the center of the mountain ridge, you can find all the glaciers. Middle Glacier is to the left, Teepee Glacier on its face, and the giant Teton Glacier clings to the peak's right side.
National Elk Refuge
Right now, you’re not far from the National Elk Refuge. Established in 1912, this refuge protects one of the biggest elk herds on earth!
Welcome: South Entrance (Jackson)
This tour of Yellowstone features multiple entrances to accommodate travelers entering from any direction. Get ready to experience one of the most incredible landscapes in North America, featuring stunning volcanic features like geysers and hot springs, majestic wildlife from bison to gray wolves, and more natural beauty than you can capture with any camera.
Grant Village & Visitor Center
If entering via the South Entrance, you'll pass the Grant Visitor Center, a great place to make a pit stop before continuing onto the Grand Loop which circles the whole park.
West Thumb
First in this section of the park is the West Thumb Geyser Basin, one of Yellowstone's largest geyser basins which features some truly remarkable geothermal features.
Abyss Pool
You'll arrive first at the Abyss Pool, an impressively deep, blue pool which has actually been known to erupt, although very rarely.
Fisherman’s Cone: William Trumbull
Next is the Fisherman's Cone, a small, extremely hot spring where fishermen used to boil their fish immediately after catching them!
Shoshone Lake & DeLacy Creek Trail
To escape the crowds which sometimes descend on Yellowstone, check out Shoshone Lake, a lovely secluded little patch of wilderness with a great hiking trail to boot.
Shoshone Lake Overlook
Be sure to stop by the Shoshone Lake Overlook, up next, for some spectacular views of the lake.
Isa Lake & Continental Divide
Up next is Isa Lake, which sits directly on the Continental Divide. In a way, this lake marks the backbone of the country!
Old Faithful
Old Faithful, up next, is one of Yellowstone's most famous attractions for a reason. This huge geyser is so reliable it was once referred to as "eternity's timepiece"!
Castle Geyser
There are plenty more geysers in the West Thumb, including Castle Geyser, shielded by an enormous cone of calcified residue.
Grand Geyser
Then there's Grand Geyser, the most powerful predictable geyser in the world. These eruptions can reach up to 200 feet in height!
Beehive
After that you'll see the Beehive, a major geyser which gets its name from the curious honeycomb-like formation surrounding it.
Morning Glory
Up next is Morning Glory, a deep hot spring pool which has, unfortunately, been severely damaged by tourists over the years. However, it's still a sight to behold.
Yellowstone Lake
Finally, you'll arrive at Yellowstone Lake, the largest high elevation lake in North America. This pristine lake is too cold to swim in, but it makes the perfect place for a picnic or even a boat ride!
