We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
On this trip we spend one night at Jackson Lake Lodge. While this accommodation reflects the natural surroundings of the national park and provides unparalleled access to the best activities in the area, it is simpler than typical Backroads lodging. The lodge has basic guest rooms that are not equipped with televisions or air-conditioning. Overall, the service standards can seem slow and casual when compared with the hospitality found on other Backroads trips. Please note that internet and cell phone service are extremely limited throughout the parks.
The National Park Service limits the size of all groups and Grand Teton National Park doesn’t permit guided hiking. Accordingly, in Yellowstone National Park you’ll bike and hike in small groups with Backroads leaders. In Grand Teton National Park, you'll bike in small groups with Backroads leaders. If you choose to hike in Grand Teton National Park, you’ll hike without Backroads leaders or local guides, but your leaders will provide pre-walk briefings, maps and directions. We appreciate your cooperation with park regulations.
