Biking, Hiking & Kayaking in Wyoming's Wild Preserves
The Tetons. Majestic sawtooth mountains. Snowcaps above, incredible wildflowers and glacial lakes below. Truly spectacular. Yellowstone is different. One-of-a-kind. Geysers that really erupt on the hour. Turquoise hot springs with the pungent smell of sulfur. Waterfalls, wolves and bears. Buffalo and elk as common as tourists. It's even got its own Grand Canyon - just as dramatic as the original. On this adventure, you'll hike, explore, bike, camp and kayak this incredible piece of Wyoming. But don't think for a second you'll be able to figure out how Mother Nature did it.
Days 1-3 Welcome to the Rockies! 
Bike beneath the Teton Range's jagged peaks, pedaling through Jackson into Grand Teton National Park Whether you're up for 4 miles or 14, there are gorgeous hikes - and a scenic boat ride - to show off this grandest of parks, a paradise of flower-strewn meadows, shimmering lakes, thick forests and sawtooth mountains.
Day 4 Wondrous wildlife, from elk to eagles, osprey to otters and bison to bears After kayaking across Yellowstone Lake, pedal along its shore and take in views of the Absaroka Range.
Day 5 Hike to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the park's most dramatic feature, where waterfalls cascade over pastel-colored cliffs Open meadows and stands of lodgepole pine lead to the canyon rim and Inspiration Point, with a breathtaking look deep into the gorge Has it been 91 minutes? Then watch as Old Faithful shoots into action, projecting thousands of gallons of water more than 100 feet into the air.
Day 6 Bubbling mud pots, spouting geysers and steaming vents in Yellowstone As you bike along the Madison and Firehole Rivers, take in the sights, sounds and smells of this strange wonderland.
