Welcome to Teton County Search & Rescue

Teton County Search & Rescue volunteers provide free search and rescue emergency services for Teton County, Wyoming, and surrounding areas. The 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 all manner of backcountry operations.
The Teton County Search & Rescue 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.
