About this tour

Set out from Jackson for a private day among the wildlife and wide-open landscapes of Grand Teton National Park, followed by a taste of authentic ranch life. This 8-hour Jackson wildlife and cowboy ranch experience pairs a naturalist-led safari with a guided horseback ride and lunch at historic 3 Spear Ranch.

Travel in a private expedition vehicle from your Jackson or Teton Village lodging, scanning the park and surrounding high country for grizzly bears, wolves, moose, and elk. Your guide shares insights into local history and medicinal plants, while binoculars and spotting scopes help bring distant wildlife into view. Sightings are never guaranteed, but the scenery and expert interpretation make the journey rewarding in their own right.

At 3 Spear Ranch, saddle up for a 2-hour guided ride through ridges and meadows. No previous riding experience is needed, though closed-toe shoes are required and rider restrictions may apply. Afterward, enjoy a mountain-inspired ranch lunch before returning to your lodging. National Park entry fees and gratuities are not included. Choose this Jackson wildlife and cowboy ranch experience for a full day of wildlife watching, Western heritage, and high-country scenery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Jackson Hole
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
