Welcome to Teton County Search & Rescue

Teton County Search & Rescue volunteers serve under the jurisdiction of the Teton County Sheriff’s Office, and collectively give back more than 10,000 hours of rescue-related services every year in northwest Wyoming. The TCSAR Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports these efforts through direct volunteer support, education and outreach, and advocacy.
You can support the volunteers by making a donation today.

In October 2025, TCSAR proudly hosted the International Commission for Alpine Rescue, a gathering of more than 600 rescuers from 25 countries. We are grateful for all those who traveled near and far to come experience Jackson Hole through the TCSAR perspective. Photo: David Bowers
