I will provide you with a unique opportunity to explore the unparalleled scenery and wildlife surrounding Jackson Hole. My photo safaris are not just for avid photographers; they are designed for anyone looking for a better and more personable way to see Grand Teton National Park. Grizzly and black bears, moose, elk, mule deer, bison, pronghorn, eagles and wolves are just some of the wildlife we often experience. With my visual and ethical appreciation for the environment I' am anxious to share my passion with all my guests. When choosing a guided tour company the single most important thing you should ask: who your guide is going to be, and what experience they bring? I guarantee I will be your guide. I offer over 38 years of experience in seeking out the elusive wildlife that inhabits the region and extensive knowledge on the best locations to view and photograph the picturesque surroundings of Grand Teton National Park.My mission is quality not quantity. I do only one Safari Tour per day and each tour is individually customized. All tours include fresh morning glory breakfast muffins, refreshments and of course the use of high quality Nikon binoculars, and Swarovski spotting scopes, as well as tripods and rain-gear. Full day tours also include a quality lunch.While other companies contract with Hotel concierges, I do not. The smart travelers today are people just like you who do their own research. Please be sure to check out the rest, and see why people choose my Jackson Hole Wildlife and Scenic Safaris. I sincerely hope I can be part of your amazing Jackson Hole adventure! --Paul

What a wonderful experience, not to be missed. Paul is very knowledgable and passionate about the area and wildlife in the park.

“Photo Safari”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

This is an experience not to be missed. We had spotted herds of elk and a few moose before we went on the safari, but it was quite different searching for the wildlife while benefitting from Paul's extensive knowledge of the animals, their lifestyle and habits, and history of the area. He goes out to certain sites on a daily... More

It was a pleasure spending our time together this day in Grand Teton National Park. Your timing with your visit was fortunate as the elk and buffalo had just begun their annual migration north and this year it was not only early, but seemed to be with purpose as thousands moved off the National Elk Refuge. I’m always pleased to... More

“A Wonderful time in Grand Tetons!”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

My husband and 15 year old son humored me and agreed to the Wildlife Safari with Paul. We got up early and Paul met us at our hotel at 5:45 AM so we had a shot at capturing the Alpenglow. What a site! During our safari, we also saw Moose, Big Horn Sheep, Bald Eagles, Elk and Swan. Paul, who... More

It was a ‘Wonderful Time in the Tetons’ that morning and thanks for allowing me to share it with you. As we get into the spring and summer months to capture or just enjoy the alpenglow requires an early start, but allows worth the effort. I very much enjoy sharing my knowledge of the Jackson Hole Valley and Grand Teton... More

“Winter Photo Safari in Grand Teton NP”

Reviewed 26 February 2013

We were in Jackson Hole for a ski getaway and wanted to spend some time away from the slopes seeing what else the area had to offer. We originally planned on a tour of Yellowstone, but we decided we didn't want to spend the entire day in the car driving and instead wanted to stay closer to our hotel while... More

Thank you for sharing your Grand Teton National Park Sunrise Safari with other TA readers. It is true that only a small percentage of TA users actually write reviews and so as a owner guided company that only does one tour a day I get fewer reviews compared to the big corporate companies, so I really appreciate everyone who leaves...
