After breakfast, travel to Grand Teton National Park, where you'll board a boat and cruise across the tranquil waters of Jenny Lake, which carved out Cascade Canyon approximately 12,000 years ago.

You can choose to return by either hiking along the lake or taking the ferry across. From there, you’ll drive to the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center, where you’ll examine the exhibits that tell the story of the region's cultural and geological histories, as well as current preservation efforts. Next, set off on a half-mile stroll to the Murie Ranch homestead, where you will learn about the Murie family’s contribution to the 1964 Wilderness Act. Return to Jackson Hole in the evening for dinner in town with your fellow travelers.

【Your Journeys Highlight Moment: Teton Raptor Center】
The Teton Raptor Center was established in 1991 when Roger Smith and Margaret Creel began caring for injured raptors—better known as birds of prey—in their home. As field biologists working in Grand Teton National Park, the couple was very interested in the environmental importance of raptors. Over the course of several years they saved dozens of birds and provided hundreds of educational programs to reach students of all ages. In 2017, Teton Raptor Center purchased the Hardeman Barns as a permanent home for raptor conservation. Visit the center for your exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour, learn about caring for these magnificent birds, and gain a sense of their invaluable place in the area’s ecosystem.
