More Fun Things To Try
SEE WILDLIFE ON THE ELK REFUGE
January and February are the prime winter months for viewing wildlife here in Jackson Hole, especially out on the National Elk Refuge. Horse-drawn sleigh rides on the refuge are offered daily —and they hold the promise of spotting more than just the thousands of elk that winter out there every year. Bison, coyotes and foxes can also be seen mingling with the elk or on the outskirts of the refuge. You'll also be able to watch eagles and hawks flying overhead, too.
Sleigh rides run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Buy tickets at the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center located at 532 North Cache St., just a few blocks north of Jackson's Town Square. Reservations are suggested, as the sleigh rides are run on a first-come, first-served basis. Cost: Adults $42 and ages 5-12, $27. Kids 4 and under ride for free. For more information, call (307) 733-0277 or 1 (800) 772-5386.
TAKE A SNOWCOACH THROUGH YELLOWSTONE
Yellowstone National Park is closed to cars during the winter, so the only way to access the world’s first national park is by hopping on a snowmobile or snowcoach. Snowcoach tours provide a warmer, more social and relaxing alternative to snowmobiling. They also offer guided interpretations of the wildlife, history and geological features of the world’s first national park.
Tours are offered from December 15th through March 15th. Scenic Safaris and Teton Science Schools’ Wildlife Expeditions are the only two outfitters making snowcoach journeys available to you from Jackson Hole.
- Scenic Safaris’s full-day Old Faithful Tour will take you to the famous grand old geyser, making several stops along the way to learn about the park's history and winter wildlife (think lots of bison!), view thermal features, and, of course, take pictures. Cost: $450
- Teton Science Schools’ Wildlife Expeditions also offers a full-day Old Faithful Expedition. Cost: $2,750 (up to four people)
