Dolce Tempo Journey in Wyoming & Montana's National Parks from Bozeman to Jackson
The grandeur of Big Sky Country can leave you speechless. Earth. Water. Sky. A place flowing with life. In a crowded world, you need this. Access to nature unbound. The time and places to move your body and imagination. Yellowstone is one of a kind. The Grand Tetons’ majesty is only matched by the serenity you feel in its presence. And somehow, you’ll find the words to tell everyone you know.
Highlights
- Hike to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a geologic wonderland, and explore quintessential Montana ranchland alongside local wranglers.
- E-bike beneath the Teton Range's sawtooth mountains amid shimmering lakes and dense forests, watching for eagles and bison
- Visit lesser-known Biscuit Basin for a wonderful geyser experience and admire the vibrant colors of this area’s smaller pools, springs and streams
- The Old West meets the 21st century at rustic lodges with stunning views and modern comforts, including one of Yellowstone’s newest lodges, focused on sustainability

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.
While the accommodations on this trip reflect the natural surroundings of the national parks and provide unparalleled access to the best activities in the area, some are simpler than is typical of Backroads lodging. Bar N Ranch, Canyon Lodge and Jackson Lake Lodge have basic guest rooms that are not equipped with televisions or air-conditioning; breakfasts and dinners throughout the week may lack variety and tend toward simple ingredients. 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 hike and bike in small groups with Backroads leaders. In Grand Teton National Park you'll bike in small groups with Backroads leaders, however you'll hike without Backroads leaders or local guides. Your leaders will provide pre-walk briefings, maps and directions. We appreciate your cooperation with the park's regulations.
