Bike, Hike & Kayak in Wyoming's Wilderness
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 fathom how Mother Nature did it.

Guest Reviews About This Trip
I recently had the pleasure of joining Backroads on a Yellowstone/Tetons camping trip and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience - particularly the hospitality. I was completely blown away by the quality of your staff, their professionalism, and personable emphasis on pleasant and totally accommodating hospitality. They were also great fun to travel with. The food was terrific. I was EXTREMELY impressed.- Charleston, SC
Excellent trip! The scenery in that part of the country is stunning, and the hiking and biking took us to the best places to view it. On our one rainy day, the leaders provided alternate activities, so the day was a success despite the weather. The tents and sleeping bags were excellent too. My big worry before the trip was that I'd freeze to death at night, but I was cozy and warm all night long!
It was better than I had imagined it to be. The people on the trip were really nice and fun to be around. The nature was beautiful. The food was amazing. The leaders couldn't have been better. And I really enjoyed being pampered on a camping trip! Reisterstown, MD
