Grand Teton and Yellowstone Open

Posted on: May 4th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

The South entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is the nearest to Jackson Hole, is ready to accept visitors. Spring is an adventurous time of year to visit the area. Weather can be unpredictable, but wildlife is on the move! The melting snowpack provides a beautiful contrast to the local mountains.

Most animals in the area will follow the receding snow  line into the high country surrounding the valley. Elk in particular migrate in large number in and out of Yellowstone, wintering here on the National Elk Refuge. You may see large numbers of animals still on the refuge or just a few stragglers, depending upon the snowpack.

Big Red Tours

Posted on: September 3rd, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

Big Red Tours  is an open top double-decker bus now offering tours of Jackson Hole. The experience is awesome. Sitting in the open air upper deck gives one a fresh new perspective on the world. Big Red allows tour participants to concentrate on the the beauty of the park and the surrounding environment by never having their views interrupted by oncoming traffic. You would never think of this, but with the elevated you do not really observe other vehicles on the road resulting in reduced stress levels which enhance the overall experience exponentially.  Wildlife can be easily spotted at a distance and observed from the upper deck, while the lower level provides an enclosed experience with large viewing windows giving participants shelter from the elements.

Sit back and take in the sites with Big Red Tours. They are available for group events, weddings and other special occasions as well. Honestly, after living in Jackson for over 15 years, this is one of the most enjoyable times I have ever had touring around the area. I highly encourage taking advantage of this new and unique way to experience Jackson Hole. Since the upper deck is open air, it provides an excellent platform for photos.
