Though most of our guiding occurs in the National Parks and National Elk Refuge, wildlife depend on a lot more habitat beyond their boundaries. Learn more about the importance of State Trust lands and the threat they currently face from this Guest Shot in the Jackson Hole News & Guide by ETA Naturalist Josh Metten.

Summer 2021 and beyond covid-19 protocols.

What is it that makes Jackson Hole special? A lot of things as it turns out. Our rugged mountains and abundant public lands, our free flowing rivers and thriving wildlife have inspired a community who seeks to live in harmony with nature. But as our community grows we are reminded of the harsh reality that we also have impacts on our wild neighbors. Wildlife vehicle collisions in Teton County alone account for around 500 animal deaths and millions of dollars of damage each year. As a business and residents who depend upon the natural world around us it only makes sense to invest in our wild places, which is why the EcoTour Adventures team is excited to endorse the Wildlife Crossings Special Purpose Excise Tax Ballot Initiative. By funding the creation of science based wildlife crossings in Teton County we can make our community safer, save money on costly collisions, and preserve and protect the wildlife whom are a critical part of the ecosystem we call home.

For thousands of years elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope and other ungulates have migrated across the Wyoming landscape. Now many of their routes are impeded by fencing, roads, and other human obstacles. What can be done to preserve Wyoming's Wild Migrations?
