Unique Winter Wildlife Experiences

For more adventurous options, the resort offers tours with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris that will get visitors up close and personal with the native species or opt for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of an intimate elk refuge sleigh ride to uniquely immerse yourself in the natural surroundings.

What to do in Jackson Hole in November

One of the advantages of visiting Jackson Hole in November as opposed to summer is that you have a front row seat to the many different species of animals that spend their winters in the area. Herds of elk move down to Jackson from the surrounding areas and head to the National Elk Refuge, where you’ll also find bighorn sheep, antelope, and other wildlife. Moose, bison, foxes, and wolves can all be spotted on a wildlife tour. Although it’s possible to drive around and look for animals on your own, taking a wildlife tour gives you access to binoculars, telescopes, and the experienced eye of your guide, who will take you to all of the best spots and keep an eye out for the animals…

The Best Things To Do In Jackson Hole, Wyoming

America’s first national park, Yellowstone, is less than an hour away from Jackson Hole. It would be a shame not to visit the geothermal wonder when you are that close! Take a day trip. It’s a beautiful drive through the meadows. Make sure to check out the geysers like Old Faithful, and our favorite, Lonestar Geyser. Other popular stops include the Grand Prismatic, the colorful Paint Pots, Inspiration Point, and Artist’s Point.  Yellowstone is another large park, like Grant Teton, so you might need two days to complete a good loop through it. Thankfully it is a short, easy drive from your temporary home in Jackson Hole. You definitely won’t regret making the drive.  Though you are sure to see wildlife in the area on your own, taking a guided wildlife safari can be fun and educational. Tour companies like Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris offer expert guides that will help you understand the ecology, landscape, and habits of the herd animals of Jackson Hole…
