To cap off our visit to the Grand Teton National Park, we went on a guided wildlife tour with Wildlife Expeditions. We were able to see elk bulls running through meadows, bison climbing a ridge with the Tetons behind them, some pronghorn playing in a field and three moose grazing in bushes near a stream. Our guide, Natalie, was great and shared interesting information about the biology of the park and the animals in it.
We had to meet Natalie at 6:00 a.m. in town for the tour, and it was a bit rough. But Natalie had hot tea, hot chocolate, coffee, muffins and water for us, which made the early wake-up call much better.
Because we had already driven through most of the park, Natalie took us to more remote areas and the adjacent Bridger-Teton National Forest. She showed us an area where bighorn sheep sometimes hang out, and she also showed us where a landslide created a natural dam and Slide Lake. It was a beautiful area to explore.
