Should I Purchase Tickets Before Going?
The Grand Teton mountain range is an amazing sight. Located in western Wyoming, just a short distance from Yellowstone National Park you’ll find one of the most beautiful natural landscapes. The Snake River winds along the foothills, creating the perfect home for wildlife of all kinds.
There are many different ways to view the landscape and wildlife from scenic float trips to whitewater rafting, depending on the level of adventure you seek. If you’re planning a trip to the area, you may be wondering when to purchase tickets. Do you need to get them ahead of time or wait until you get here? Here’s what you need to know.
Booking a Trip
If your trip is coming up this spring, summer, or fall, you can already book an excursion now. This means that you are reserving a spot for you and your group to ensure that you will be able to go on the adventure you are interested in. If you wait until you arrive, there is a possibility that all of the trips will be full and you may not get to experience the type of trip you had in mind.
Whitewater Rafting Adventures
Thrill-seekers may be interested in a whitewater rafting adventure. The Snake River mostly includes rapids between class I and III, however there are stretches that may have some class IV rapids in late spring and early summer when the snow is melting off of the mountains and the river is high. Experience the famous rapids Double Draw, Big Kahuna, Lunch Counter and Cottonwood. Guided adventures are available to book now for the spring and summer season.
Scenic Float Trips
If you would prefer a more relaxing trip, scenic float tours take you down the river on calmer waters. You can expect to stay dry, so feel free to bring your camera to capture your best shots of the wildlife and landscape. Common sightings include deer, moose, and elk grazing in the meadows and drinking from the riverside. Bald eagles, pelicans, and herons have been spotted in the air and may even swoop down to catch fish from the river.
ATV Rentals
Rent a side by side or ATV to get out into the wilderness and enjoy a little speed at the same time. You can reserve your vehicle now to ensure you’ll have one ready and waiting for you when you’re ready to hit the trails.
Van Tours
Another trip to make sure and book ahead of time is a van tour of the Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Tours of the Teton Mountains take place at sunrise and sunset for the best views of the landscape and wildlife.
Yellowstone Park tours will ensure you see all of the highlights, including Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Moose Falls, Thumb Geyser, and more.
Why Book Now?
If your trip is a few weeks or even months away, you may think it’s too soon to book excursions. However, those with experience visiting this area will tell you that it’s never too soon to reserve trips and rentals. With a little planning, you can ensure that your vacation is everything you want it to be and more.
