SIX DAYS in Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks

The world’s oldest National Park sits atop a super-volcano and features Earth’s largest collection of geothermal features. The Tetons contain some of the oldest rock in North America – 2.7 billion-year-old metamorphic gneiss. Experience the superlative beauty of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  

Day 1: Arrive in Jackson, WY. Start off by getting to know your guide and group over lunch at a local brewery. Then set off for a warm-up hike on Josie’s Ridge. By early evening you’ll head to camp, set up the tents and enjoy dinner by the campfire.

Meals: L/D

Day 2: Make an early start in Grand Teton National Park to spot the wildlife when it’s most active. You’ll spend several hours with your naturalist guide exploring the park and looking for bears, elk, bison, pronghorn, elk, and more!

In the afternoon, you’ll spend 3 hours rafting down the rapids of the scenic Snake River: the perfect summer activity in Jackson Hole. The whitewater rafting section of the Snake River is Class III, perfect for people of all ages and experience. Rapids such as Big Kahuna, Lunch Counter, and Ropes are sure to give you a bumpy and wet ride but have you smiling the whole way. After rafting, we’ll make our way to our campsite in Yellowstone National Park.

Day 4: This will be the most challenging day for hiking, but it’s most definitley worth it as you hike the Seven Mile Hole. This trail combines Yellowstone’s best features – the rugged beauty of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, coniferous forests, robust wildlife, and active geothermal features along the trail. You’ll enjoy lunch at the base of the canyon before making the challenging ascent back to the campsite.

Day 5: Start with a relaxing morning at camp before heading off to Lone Star Geyser. This backcountry geyser can erupt 45 feet in the air and sits along the Firehole River. It erupts every few hours, so enjoy the show! After the hike, we’ll continue on to visit the iconic sites of Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic Spring, before making your way back down to Jackson for the final evening together.

Day 6: Enjoy breakfast in a lovely cafe in Jackson Hole, known for its delicious European-style pastries. Squeeze in one final hike if there is time along the Snake River before departing for the airport and bidding farewell to a new group of friends, and your adventure in The West.
