Jeff was a great guide for a 12 hour day in the park. We saw elk, moose, bison and other animals that Jeff was able to spot! It was cool but we expected that since it was the last day the park was open. Old Faithful didn't disappoint. Overall it was a great time and we met new friends to experience this with. The crowds were low and we liked that!

Even though there was a foot of snow on the ground, we still had a beautiful ride through the Tetons. The views were breathtaking and our guide, Natalie, shared history of the Tetons to help enhance the experience. We had a wonderful time!

Our guide, Natalie, was extremely knowledgeable and understanding of our beginner status. She really made all of us feel confident and comfortable. Great experience.

It was good. The only thing was that the guide promised to send a picture of a bear on my phone closer and he never did.

I learned so much! The narrator was interesting and informative. Excellent self driving tour.
