Things to do in Wyoming

Jackson Hole · About 4 hours · from $198

Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures puts you in a pop-top vehicle with a naturalist guide and scopes, timed for the hour when moose, elk and bison are actually out. Dusk is just as good as dawn for wildlife, so this is the one to book if you'd rather skip a 5 am alarm.

Jackson Hole · About 8 hours · from $219

A full winter day with a BrushBuck naturalist looking for bison, moose and bighorn sheep in Grand Teton, plus a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge herd. Dress warmer than you think you need, because the sleigh is open to the wind.

Yellowstone · About 13 hours · from $329

A BrushBuck naturalist drives you to Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, so you watch for wildlife instead of the road. It's a long day, so it's my pick only if you're based in Jackson with one day for Yellowstone, and it runs in the warmer months when the park roads are open.
