Winter Adventures in Jackson Hole: Dog Sleds, Snowshoes and Sleighs
Program Number: 18292
The Creation of the Teton Landscape: The Geologic Story of Grand Teton National Park
This book outlines the earliest history of the area and delves deep into the extensive geology of the region.
Winter World
Heinrick is an eminent naturalist whose insatiable curiosity leads him to investigate the wonders of the world, including how animals survive winter. While not specific to the Tetons or even the West, Winter World introduces you to adaptations animals have to survive winter, and may lead you to look more closely at your own surroundings.
Peaks, Politics & Passion
Environmental historian Robert Righter tells the story of the preservation of the Teton Mountains and the surrounding areas. In this book, Righter adds to his previous works that chronicled the creation of Grand Teton National Park, bringing us up to date with the regions challenges in the decades since, including private land inholdings, fire and wildlife management, and preservation of local history.
Wapiti Wilderness
Margaret and Olaus Murie made their home in the Tetons for over thirty-seven years. During this time, Olaus Murie conducted studies of the American elk, the wapiti, and both he and Mardy worked tirelessly for conservation efforts and the preservation of wilderness. Wapiti Wilderness tells the story of their adventurous life raising children while conducting research in the Tetons. This book is available at the Teton Science Schools gift shop.
Along the Ramparts of the Tetons: The Saga of Jackson Hole, Wyoming
The magnificent valley of Jackson Hole at the base of the soaring Teton Range has long been a stage on which a remarkable series of events has been acted out by an equally remarkable cast of characters. This is that story, told with a verve and excitement which brings the past alive.
Letters from Yellowstone
At the end of the 19th century, an intrepid young woman joins a scientific research team in Yellowstone National Park, to the surprise of the other members of the expedition. This historical fiction brings Yellowstone and the surrounding region at the turn of the 19th century to life.

I had a fantastic time! This was my first time to snow shoe and cross country ski. The leaders were helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I appreciated that there were plenty of extra outdoor clothing layers and equipment to borrow from the Teton Science School. The wildlife art museum, elk refuge and Murie ranch were great places to visit. The dog sled experience was amazing!

Everything was good except for the accommodations. Way too basic, with unfriendly, unhelpful cafeteria staff (except for chef). We should have stayed in town.

I love the snow but have never gone snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or dog sledding. I was able to do all three in Jackson Hole and thoroughly enjoyed each activity! Not only was it adventurous but I also learned a lot about Winter Adaptations and elk! I 100% recommend this trip to everyone! It was such a great experience!

This trip got me out of my comfort zone. The place is extraordinary beautiful and the guides were great!. The rooms were dorm style, wifi was plus. We did snow shoeing, cross country skiing and dog sledding. Dog sledding was so much fun, I want to do the trip again. The guides were very informative and took care of all of our needs. Fantastic trip.

This winter program was exciting, challenging, and invigorating. Our young group leaders guided us carefully through the snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The all day dogsledding trip was outstanding. We were close to the town while feeling like we were out in the country. Teton Science School has dormitory style lodging for participants, excellent food choices, and school students arriving for classes every morning. TSS has plenty of warm gear to loan so you don't have to buy your own.

If you love the outdoors in the winter, the Winter Adventure in the Tetons is a perfect way to enjoy nature and winter.
Elk by the thousands (also bison, coyotes, bald eagles and ravens, trumpeter swans, AND moose), snow shoeing, cross country skiing and dog sledding- it was the call of the wild and beautiful

Don't let fear of the cold stop you! I'm a beach enthusiast who decided to move out of my comfort zone and try the winter sports in Jackson, Wyoming. What an adventure! It's changed me completely! The mountains in the winter are beyond gorgeous. In my next life I want to be a dog sled musher! So much fun!

— Review left February 16, 2020
This is a fantastic program for people who love the beauty of winter, but have not experienced many of the activities. I was a complete novice to snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and dog sledding, and was frankly a little anxious - but we were well taken care of, well provided for, and it was so much fun. Plus, our program leaders from the Teton Science School were inspiring young people who helped us learn so much, and get even more out of these activities. We had a great docent at the Wildlife Art museum, and the sleigh ride journey into the National Elk Reserve was amazing to be surrounded by these wild and magnificent animals. We were so fortunate with great weather, but the Teton Science School has all of the gear you might need to enjoy/survive the winter time. The accommodation is basic, but fits into what you are doing. Plus, you are ready to go to bed each night after fresh air and activity!
— Review left February 14, 2020
This program is packed with different adventures every single day. It was just wonderful to experience all this in a such a short time. There is no way I could arrange all the activities, transportation, equipment, meal, etc. by myself. It would be way more expensive and a lot of work. I didn't have to worry about anything and I LOVED IT!

5 STARS for this fantastic program. Everyday is an incredible experience in this winter wonderland of snow. The Teton Science Schools' expert guides lead us to places where we were able to witness the wild creatures in their natural habitat. It was a breath-taking experience. I would love to go again.

I enjoyed every minute of this program -it took me outside my comfort zone and I was able to do things that were on my bucket list, with other like-minded individuals. Each of the activities was so much fun, the staff was wonderful and the dog mushing at the end was an experience I will never forget. I wish I could have stayed and repeated the whole program again, I liked it that much!!

I absolutely LOVED my Road Scholar trip! I didn't realize how tense I had become, caring for my parents and helping them complete their earthly journeys the way they had hoped: at home, with me as their caretaker. While on the trip, I lost all track of time and truly got away. It was well-planned and executed. The learning sessions were interesting and the excursions supplied hands-on experiences each day. I thought, at first, that Road Scholar programs were a little pricey. I found that the value I received was MUCH MORE than the cost of the trip. The meals were included, as was the transportation. I learned of the cost of some of our daily outings, and knew that I wouldn't have paid "that much" on my own. I wouldn't have missed those experiences of a lifetime for anything! All excursions, including tips, were paid for. I felt like I was on vacation for free! It was so much fun to participate in fun events with other adults. I didn't have to have a care in the world while on the trip. Thank you, Road Scholar, for treating my like a queen, and like a real, live, normal person. I needed a wonderful trip, and you delivered!

Wonderful winter experience snowshoeing, XC skiing, dog-sledding and visiting the historic elk refuge on horse carriages! The energetic instructors discussed a variety of subjects in after-dinner talks (and they didn't go too late after a busy day!) Learning about the elk, grizzlies, winter/snow environment, culture of the area, and impact of Olaus & Mardy Murie's conservation movement was very interesting. The instructors were knowledgeable, welcoming and patient and the other RS participants were open and friendly during meals and outings.
