National Park Geysers, Peaks & Canyons
In Yellowstone and the Tetons, the West is still wild. Geysers gush. Mud pots bubble. Sawtooth peaks reach for the sky. Bison graze in the meadows. Ospreys camp out atop awesome pinnacles. And we're getting wild, too! Hiking, biking, kayaking, rafting and more. Two national parks. Wild scenery. Wild life. Wild fun.
Highlights
- Walk into the geologic history of Yellowstone, while marveling at its famous bubbling mud pots, spouting geysers and steaming vents
- Paddle down the meandering Snake River on an exhilarating rafting trip—a splashing good time for all!
- Bike beneath the Teton Range's sawtooth-edged mountains amid shimmering lakes and dense forests—watch for eagles, bison and bears
- Explore the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, with its multicolored walls and the largest waterfalls in the park
Start Jackson, Wyoming, or West Yellowstone, Montana
End Jackson, Wyoming

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, they are simpler than is typical of Backroads lodging. Many buildings date back to the turn of the century and have only been minimally renovated, in accordance with park regulations. Old Faithful Inn, Lake Lodge & 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 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 parks' regulations.
