Located at the interior of over 20 million acres of diverse habitat, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are often seen as the core of what is called the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). As one of the last relatively intact temperate ecosystems left on earth, the GYE is home to massive mammal migrations, the largest remaining wild bison herd, diverse bird species, grizzly bears, wolves and more. This October, Jackson Hole Ecotour Adventures partnered with our friends at the Greater Yellowstone Coalition to share the GYE with Coalition members, an intimate three day exploration of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

Today the valley of Jackson Hole is protected by Grand Teton National Park but before 1950 much of it could have been lost to development, threatening habitat for pronghorn antelope, elk, bison, grizzly bears and more.

This year on August 21st a total solar eclipse will occur over Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park! Learn more about this uncommon and spectacular celestial event!

At Jackson Hole Ecotour Adventures we feel fortunate to call the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) our home and office. One of the most biologically rich temperate ecosystems on earth, the GYE is recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations. Conserving this place for the future is paramount to our mission as a company, and through our Dollars for Conservation program, we are proud to have donated over $50,000 dollars to local and national partners over the past eight years.
