Grand Targhee Resort offers complimentary guided snowshoe adventures for the young at heart and curious of mind. Participants will learn about the history of Grand Targhee, forest and wildlife ecology, and the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Tours are led by our Resort Naturalist, Brigid Sinram and guests of all ages and abilities are welcome. Snowshoe tours are free, last about 90 Minutes, and offer an easy to moderate journey of discovery to explore old growth forest life, snow tracking, trees, wildlife, geology and winter ecology. Together we’ll scout for tracks in the snow, learn about the different trees in the forest, and listen for distinct bird calls. This winter marks the 12th year we have offered Naturalist services to our guests in partnership with the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.
Environmental Programs
Targhee’s Environmental Program seeks to educate the public about the ecology and conservation of our unique alpine environment and to advocate the stewardship of Grand Targhee for recreation, healthy forests, and wildlife habitat. Naturalist education programs provide alternative recreational activities at Grand Targhee and strive to inspire guests to become involved in the conservation of our environment. Grand Targhee’s Nature Center is located between the Ski School and Kids Club cabins.
