Neil Moore displaying characteristic stoke with found monster elk sheds
Neil Moore
Guiding since 2016, Neil has a depth to his passion for wildlife and the landscapes where they live that is without parallel. Neil grew up in San Francisco, CA. His interest in the outdoors grew from surfing, rock climbing, and working on a search and rescue team. He found his home in the Rockies when he moved to Montana to obtain his wildlife biology degree. From polar bears and mountain lions to moose and mule deer, Neil worked on a variety of wildlife research projects before moving to Jackson. On the side he guided backpacking and rock climbing trips around the west and that’s where his passion for guiding began.
You would be hard pressed to find a guide who knows these mountains better, or who has gone to greater lengths to find wildlife. You might think you hear echoes of the late great Steve Irwin from the great beyond when Neil is on the scene at a wildlife sighting.

What Our Adventurers Say In Reviews
★★★★★
Honestly one of the best excursions we have been on. Brad was one of the most knowledgeable and courteous guides we’ve had the pleasure of touring with. Highly recommend!!!
– Alex Gerhart | Google Reviews
If I could give more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat! Our morning with Brett exploring Grand Teton and looking for wildlife was incredible. He is professional and very knowledgeable - about everything! My 10 and 12 year olds peppered him with a vast array of questions, and they never stumped him. They are still raving about the day a week later! We are already talking about going back to explore Yellowstone with him. I highly recommend booking your adventure with Teton Wilderness Tours, you will not be disappointed!

A truly incredible experience! Highly recommend. My best friends and I booked the morning tour in August and we had Neil as our guide. I can’t tell you how amazing this tour + experience was from beginning to end. We didn’t want it to end. Neil was so knowledgeable and kind. We saw so many animals and learned so much. Made our trip unforgettable. Will definitely be back. Thank you Neil for making our trip so awesome!

This was hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Brett, was absolutely incredible — his wealth of knowledge about Yellowstone’s history, wildlife, and biology made the entire experience unforgettable. He shared fascinating insights about the park’s ecosystems, animals, and natural wonders in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. Every moment of the tour was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. We learned so much, saw breathtaking sights, and left with a much deeper appreciation for Yellowstone. If I could give this tour a 10-star rating, I absolutely would. Teton Wilderness Tours and Brett exceeded every expectation — I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I highly recommend Teton Wilderness Tours. Our guide Brett was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Not just about Grand Teton National Park but about everything natural and then some. He went above and beyond to make our sunset tour a special one, uncovering some hidden gems within the park.

Brad was our guide and he was so knowledgeable, and gave us incredible information in a way that was easy to understand!! We had 8 adults and a dog in our group—He was so attentive to all of us with various needs. Always polite and always a smile!! I will definitely book a trip with him again!!

The tour was absolutely amazing! We saw just about every animal imaginable, including black bears! Gus was a great guide. Super personable and easy going, and had answers to pretty much any question we threw his way. The tour absolutely made our trip to Yellowstone and we would recommend anyone to book this tour!
– Gwyn K | Tripadvisor
We had the best time on our all day tour through Yellowstone! Gus was so knowledgeable and friendly as he guided us through the park. He accommodated bathroom breaks, stopped whenever we saw wildlife and took us to scenic locations that we wouldn’t have gone to if we didn’t book through Teton Wilderness Tours. This was the highlight of our trip to Wyoming and you’d be silly not to book with them!
– Samantha B | Tripadvisor
My husband and I had a phenomenal tour of Yellowstone with our guide, Gus! He was so knowledgeable about the park and took us to the best spots! He also planned everything so well between making sure we got to see Old Faithful to the best bathroom breaks. He made visiting the park such a breeze for first-time visitors. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a tour.
– Maggie | Tripadvisor
We had the best time ever with our guide Brett on our Teton tour. He was so accommodating and fun. We saw elk, moose, otters, absolutely amazing views, and so much more. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and already have. I plan to go again someday. Thank you so much for the amazing time.

Yellowstone National Park is a land of breathtaking geysers, vibrant hot springs, and dramatic landscapes. But for wildlife enthusiasts, there’s one place that consistently rises to the top of the must-visit list: Hayden Valley. This expansive, seemingly untouched landscape perched at an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet acts as a magnet for a stunning array…
A Sparring Match: Bull Moose in the Tetons
Seeing a moose is always special, but seeing two bulls sparring is a highlight of anyone’s trip. On a recent tour, we saw just that. We took the group to one of our favorite spots to find moose and were treated to two males grazing together, but the peace didn’t last long as the boys…
Getting Oriented: Foxes and Magnetic Fields
It’s not intuitive to think of a four legged mammal as an aerial hunter. Yet, foxes clearly depend on their ability to take prey from the air. Watching a fox hunt is spectacular but the suspense can be almost unbearable! Their spellbinding leaps appear to happen like magic – how does the fox know exactly…
