The Sunrise Advantage: Two Parks, One Ultimate Wildlife Drive
We actively transform the necessity of a long travel day from Jackson Hole into a value-packed benefit: the Sunrise Advantage. Our early departure ensures that we are tracking animals through Grand Teton National Park in optimal morning light before entering Yellowstone. This added-value experience offers a spectacular two-park wildlife viewing bonus, making the trip a comprehensive, day-long photographic opportunity that far exceeds a standard Park tour.
Professional Tracking: Tools and Expertise Beyon the Tourist Map
Your experience is led by a dedicated, certified wildlife tracker, not just a driver. We equip every guest with professional-grade spotting scopes and high-powered binoculars—the essential tools for locating and observing animals far from the road. This specialized expertise and equipment are the keys to a successful safari, enabling us to find, identify, and interpret the subtle drama of predator and prey in the wild, delivering sightings that are invisible to the average Park visitor.
