Winter Wildlife Safari & Dining
at Turpin Meadow Ranch

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. After the safari, 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. 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.
