    Salt Lake City - Jackson - National Elk Refuge (Sleigh)/Grand Teton National Park

    In the morning, we'll depart from your hotel and journey through Utah and Idaho, arriving in the iconic town of Jackson, Wyoming, at noon. Known as the heart of cowboy culture, Jackson exudes a rich Western charm. We'll visit the renowned Elk Antler Arch in the city center, a local landmark.

    In the afternoon, we'll embark on a scenic tour of the National Elk Refuge by horse-drawn sleigh or carriage, depending on the snow conditions. If sleigh or carriage rides are unavailable due to maintenance, we’ll head to the stunning Grand Teton National Park instead. Overnight stay in Jackson.

    ------------------------------

    Jackson Town Square with Elk Antler Arches

    Though the park isn't large, it is marked by impressive arches made of deer antlers at each of the four cardinal directions—east, west, south, and north. These antlers, though sharp and striking, are not the result of hunting. Each winter, large herds of elk migrate from the mountains to the "National Elk Refuge" in Jackson for the colder months. By spring, the elk naturally shed their antlers, which are then replaced. After the elk depart, these fallen antlers create a unique treasure trove scattered across the land.

    ------------------------------
    National Elk Refuge

    Come explore the National Elk Refuge, located just one mile from Jackson, Wyoming's Town Square. Established in 1912 to safeguard one of the largest elk herds in the world, this expansive refuge covers 24,700 acres. Home to around 5,000 elk, the herd's numbers often rise to 6,000 or 7,000, and sometimes even more.

    Grand Teton National Park

    Today, we’ll board a specially arranged snow coach and venture into the world’s first national park—Yellowstone National Park! Winter transforms Yellowstone into a truly magical landscape, where its iconic geothermal features take on an even more dramatic appearance. The contrast between the steaming hot springs and the blanket of snow creates a powerful visual experience.

    Yellowstone National Park

    Nestled in the Rocky Mountains—often called the "Backbone of America"—Yellowstone National Park sits atop a vast lava plateau between the Northern and Central Rockies in the western United States. Its iconic geothermal features define the park, showcasing a raw and powerful landscape shaped by both fire and water. The park is divided into five distinct regions: the Mammoth Area, Roosevelt Area, Canyon Area, Geyser Area, and Lake Area—each offering its own unique natural wonders. Yellowstone's scenery surpasses the boundaries of human artistry, standing as one of the most extraordinary and awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth.

    ------------------------------
    Old Faithful Geyser

    Old Faithful Geyser earned its name due to its remarkable consistency and reliability. Today, it erupts approximately every 60 to 110 minutes, with each eruption lasting around four to five minutes. The powerful water column soars over 40 meters into the air, creating a spectacular and timeless display. At the Old Faithful Visitor Center, you can find the predicted eruption schedule, allowing you to plan your visit with confidence and not miss this unforgettable natural show.
