Teton Trek

Inspired by America’s playground, Yellowstone National Park, Teton Trek encompasses the look and feel of this great ecosystem and all the character it entails.

This four-acre exhibit is home to grizzly bears, timber wolves, elk, trumpeter swans, ruddy ducks, green-winged teal and sandhill cranes.

Teton Trek’s structures are almost as grand as the animals that inhabit them. Upon entering the exhibit, guests walk through the Great Lodge, a 60-foot tall log cabin inspired by Old Faithful Inn. A geyser situated at the entrance of the lodge sprays water up to 30 feet high.

The grizzlies enjoy a 20-foot tall waterfall which becomes a meandering stream with fishing village at its base.

A wooden boardwalk winds its way around the entire exhibit and serves as an overlook for visitors to see inside each animal area from above.

After completing the stroll on the boardwalk, guests are able to return to the lodge and take a seat in one of the rocking chairs that are on two separate balconies overlooking the exhibit.

A stone fireplace inside the lodge also makes for a cozy spot to rest and enjoy the scenery.
