Hiking in the Tetons is awesome! The trails are for all abilities and most lead you to a gorgeous lake or waterfall. Also, consider taking a float trip down the Snake River in the park. Many times you'll see moose alongside you. Have a good trip!
I agree on both the hiking and especially the float on the Snake river. Sign up for the first float of the morning. It will be cold, but you will have a greater chance of spotting wildlife.
If you like hikes, show up for the ranger lead hikes in Yellowstone. The ones you want are the ones that are 90-120 minutes or more. Went on everyone we could find this last August and enjoyed everyone of them.
Best of the bunch was one that started by uncle tom's cabin, went south along the canyon, then into Hayden valley. Came to a split in the trail, the ranger said this is where we have to head back to the grand canyon of the yellowstone, but if you have an extra hour, you can head on for an extended loop back to the canyon, walking past some thermal areas. Very nice addition to an already great hike.
