The Snake River is an ideal location to see some of Wyoming’s beautiful flora and fauna—especially bald eagles, ospreys, and pelicans—near Grand Teton National Park. Rather than rush down the river on a whitewater or kayaking trip, float down a scenic 13-mile (21 kilometers) stretch of the river on an easygoing raft. Plus, get round-trip transportation from the outfitter's office in Jackson.

Maximize your wildlife-spotting opportunities by getting off the road and onto the water on this 13-mile float trip down Jackson’s serene Snake River.

Explore Bridger-Teton National Forest on a horseback-riding tour from Moran, about 35 miles (56 km) from Jackson.

Head to Yellowstone National Park on a day trip from Jackson Hole for the chance to see the highlights of one of the most popular parks in the United States.

Lunch is included. This tour operator is an authorized permittee of the National Park Service.

When visiting Jackson Hole, experience an old-fashioned adventure with a dog sledding tour along the Buffalo Fork River, protected land with sweeping views of the river valley and Grand Tetons.
