Yellowstone Family Multisport Vacations

Yellowstone & Grand Tetons Multisport

Family Biking, Hiking & Kayaking in the Wyoming Wilderness

For unparalleled beauty and wilderness, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks shine in scenic splendor. As two of the country’s most well-known parklands, these glorious examples of Wyoming’s varied and rugged landscape never fail to inspire travelers of all ages. With its steaming fumaroles, thundering geysers and bubbling pools, Yellowstone is a geological treasure. And rising in great jagged waves, the Tetons display nothing less than staggering grandeur amid a tableau of alpine lakes, soaring peaks and valleys teeming with wildlife. Come along with Backroads to an extraordinary setting that invites exploration by bike, foot and kayak.

Trip praise

The trip was amazing. Very well organized and executed. But the thing that made it such a spectacular success were our amazing leaders. Each one of them contributed something special and memorable. Even when they were working so hard to make us a great meal, or unloading/loading equipment, they were always willing to stop what they were doing to answer a question, or assist with any request. We took pictures of them so that we can always remember them and I can point to each of them when guiding my kids toward their adulthoods. They were inspiring, fun and attentive.
