Winter draws Wyoming’s most iconic wildlife into the valleys, making it the ideal season for sightings. From the comfort of a heated safari vehicle, Great Western Expeditions searches for bull elk, bison dusted with snow, moose in the river willows, and bald eagles perched in the cottonwoods.

When we arrive at Turpin Meadow, you’ll explore on foot on groomed snowshoe trails that wind through the Bridger- Teton National Forest. With provided equipment and expert guides, guests can step quietly into the winter landscape and experience the ranch beyond the road.

After your trek, warm up at Trails End Restaurant at Turpin Meadow Ranch. The lodge blends classic log-cabin character with mountain elegance—hand-hewn logs, a roaring stone fireplace, and wide windows framing the snowcovered Tetons. Here you’ll enjoy elevated winter comfort food by the hearth, from hearty soups and shared plates to ranch-inspired entrées featuring bison and trout—perfectly paired with the cozy glow of the lodge.
