Visitors flock to the Cowboy State in the summer for the exhilarating outdoor experience but when the snow flies, that doesn’t mean an end to the marvelous fun. A winter wildlife safari is the ultimate way to enjoy the best of Wyoming, and the pros at Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris are the experts who can take you on a guided tour of the unspoiled Wyoming wilderness. With a visit to a wildlife refuge, a national park, and an art gallery and museum all packed into a half-day excursion, you’ll make enough memories to last a lifetime.

Whether or not you're a skier, Jackson Hole is a magical place to visit in the winter. It's where you'll embark on a fantastical wildlife safari.

The sleigh rides are seasonal and typically run from the middle of December through late March.
Viewing the sights from an open sleigh is an excellent way to get an up-close look at the massive herd of elk that winter at the refuge.
