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 and Canyon 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.
