Sunset Over the Tetons: An Afternoon to Evening Journey to Turpin Meadow Ranch.
This guided 8-hour outing carries you north from Jackson Hole into Grand Teton National Park and onward to Turpin Meadow Ranch, where a choice of ranch activities — from guided horseback rides to self-guided side-by-side or mountain-bike rentals — is paired with lunch and expert interpretation; the day closes with a drive through the park as the sun slides down behind the Teton range and a return to Jackson in the evening.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Teton Range at Dusk
After your afternoon on the ranch, the guide drives back through Grand Teton National Park so you can watch the sunset setting upon the Teton Mountain Range, a built-in finale to the day.
Two Hours of Chosen Ranch Activity
At Turpin Meadow Ranch you have roughly two hours to choose an activity: a guided horseback ride, a self-guided Side-By-Side rental, mountain-bike rental with route information, or hiking and low-key games such as disc-golf and corn hole amid access to Bridger Teton National Forest.
Guided Natural History and Wildlife Viewing
Throughout the drive the guide provides facts on the park’s history, wildlife, flora and fauna, and you’ll be asked to stay alert for wildlife sightings en route to and from the ranch.

You’ll spend part of the afternoon at Turpin Meadow Ranch (about 45 miles north of Jackson) where, after a restaurant lunch, you take a roughly two-hour activity of your choice—ranch rides, rentals, or on-foot options—before reboarding and returning through the park to watch the sunset on the Teton range and be dropped back in Jackson in the evening.
