Two hours might appear long for this trip but it was just the right amount of time to soak in the beauty and nature! We would have loved to experience more wildlife but that's just Mother Nature and out of the tours control! The 5:30pm tour is highly recommended and our party can agree! Overall the views were breathtaking and it's definitely an experience you won't want to miss. The team overall was super friendly and accommodating for our party of 14!

Beyond the moose - part of the fun of this junction is the anticipation of entering the main section of Grand Teton National Park (NP). A turn onto Moose Wilson Road leads to the NP visitor center, fee station, the mighty, glorious Teton Range, and all the beautiful lakes, trails, and wildlife you might be privy to see! A welcome sign along a long, flat stretch of road - watch out for moose and cyclist along the main road;)!

Moose Wilson Rd, the road less travelled, starts at Moose Junction. This tiny dot on the map is…read moreright next to the Craig Thomas Visitors Center, a lovely large structure that is solely to promote information about the Grand Tetons. It became our launching point for heading to the other side, the western exposure, the Idaho side of those Grand Teton mountains, where we planned to continue our adventure into Yellowstone at the west entrance. We had done a not-so-thorough couple of hours in the region, stopped in Jackson for lunch, marveled at the magnificence of the craggy, snow covered peaks, inhaled the crisp clean air, and sadly knew we needed to move on, getting to the Idaho side before dark. The burning question was, how do I get there without reliving the horror that is Jackson? Just ask those "in the know" and they will tell you of Moose Wilson, a lesser known, two lane road starting at Moose Junction, that circumvents the clogged roads of Jackson and avoids the downtown crazies that populate that quaint, touristy town. Good to know, we were told it was also extremely scenic, so we decided to go for the shortcut. This became its own self guided tour. The irony? There was a steady line of cars very cautiously going this way, at least more than we had anticipated. Initially, that slowed us down. The secret passageway was not so secret. But you should also know that they were mostly driving quite cautiously because... about 1/3 of this "secret" roadway is entirely dirt, sometimes only wide enough to accommodate one car, with many large pit holes that will challenge your driving skills and make you think you are being trained for a professional obstacle course. Timing impeccable, as always, we had also managed to be there after a significant rain, and so...guess what...we were fording streams and dodging huge puddles that usually were not there. Still, oh cautious one, the beauty and serenity was worth it; vast open meadows, dense thickets of indigenous trees. We never saw any moose or any other wildlife other than birds and one or two deer, but based on what we passed, however, it would be extremely likely. You just need to get your timing right. Words to the wise: I would not try to pull a trailer through here nor would I wish this road on anyone at night. It is so isolated, so many trees, there is nothing to light the way except your handy dandy headlights. So get the H*** out of there before sunset, dear 21st Century Adventurer. This road is closed once winter kicks in, no surprise there.

If you hike counterclockwise about 2.5 miles you will get to where the boat dock arrives to go to Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point, and Cascade Canyon.

The store, visitor center and the restrooms are all pretty tidy and great to frequent. Only small issue was that the water filler was not working when we were there. Glad to have been able to see some bears!! There's a pontoon boat tour is also recommend checking out. Warning: You can't really see Grand Teton peak from along the lakeside. For that, it is advised to go to Mormon Row or Cathedral Row!

If it's within your budget, I would definitely recommend taking a tour with Ecotours…read more Our guide, Ben, was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Yellowstone and the surrounding area. He was also incredibly patient with our rambunctious kids, which made the experience much more enjoyable for our family. The snacks throughout the day were excellent and thoughtfully selected. The offerings ranged from blueberry muffins (which tasted like they may have come from a local bakery) to bison jerky. Sodas, tea, hot chocolate, and French press coffee were available throughout the tour. Hot drinks were served in stainless steel travel mugs, and water was provided in reusable water bottles that we got to keep--a nice touch that fit well with the company's environmental focus. Lunch was fantastic. The Mediterranean and elote salads were generous enough that we wished we had a way to take leftovers home. The mufaletta sandwich was piled with a generous amount of lunch meat and cheese. The kids also enjoued their PB& Js. The brownies were absolutely divine. We also appreciated that the meal was served in stainless steel bento boxes with real silverware rather than disposable containers, which felt very consistent with Ecotours' name and mission. I can't forget to mention the washable tablecloth and napkins. We enjoyed the viewing hatches on the vehicle. While we only had one opportunity to get close enough to wildlife to really use them, they were a fun feature. Our kids especially loved being able to see out the back windows and open them for a better view. Overall, the tour was well organized, comfortable, and family-friendly. The combination of excellent guiding, great food, thoughtful amenities, and a commitment to sustainability made it a memorable Yellowstone experience.

He was so knowledgeable about the geological history of Yellowstone it felt like we had a walking encyclopedia with us. He treated us all with kindness and respect, which was I'm sure difficult sometimes with loud and inquisitive kids! He was patient with my 75 year old mom and accommodating when something proved too taxing. I loved how he also let us expereince things on our own too. We walked around Old Faithful just the 4 of us and a few other places too. The highlight had to be the wolf we all caught on his INCREDIBLE binocs! I seriously was blown away by how good they were! He also provided a delicious lunch for us and we enjoyed his company on our picnics. We booked Moses for two days and his van was as spotless the second day as it was the first. I was impressed after a 13-hour day, he still cleaned it all out of our dirty shoeprints and restocked the water so that we could start fresh the next day. Thank you for the incredible memories, Moses! We saw Yellowstone how it was meant to be seen in two days, and it definitely inspired us to come back and camp there to experience it even more.

You select which sites you desire to see, be it Old Faithful or Grand Prismatic Spring, or the incredible Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone with its stunning Lower Falls at Artist's point or the Brink of the Falls where you're within feet of the pounding waters as it thunders down. Your tour is in a brand new Ford Transit Van with huge, clear picture windows all around for continuous viewing. Moses is extremely knowledgeable about the entire area- and, he's a kind and accommodating person who was so pleasant to spend a full day with a few days ago. This was my second time with him, and I've recommended him to other friends who had a great experience! You will NOT be disappointed! I promise!
