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. Most of the properties on this trip 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.

Fantastic scenery and guides!
Loved the trip and exercise; and the guides were superb and delightful; knowledgeable and attentive; great teamwork!

Memories for a lifetime with four nephews!
Exceeded our high expectations! We have done five previous adult trips and loved them. This time we took our triplet 9 year old nephews and their 15 year old brother for the first big trip with their Aunt and Uncle. The team leaders made the trip seamless. The setting is amazing, and the help with being able to have so many different exciting adventures with four kids was priceless!

Excellent Family Adventure
I took my whole family (6 of us, ranging from age 15 to 52) on the Yellowstone and Tetons Multi-Adventure Trip. It was great. I was not disappointed with any element of the trip, which is saying a lot because there are many logistics for the Backroads Trip Leaders to handle. Accommodations great, food great, activities great. We are an active family, so we appreciated the options to cover more ground on foot and by bike. We are already planning next year's trip. Eilee, Lauren, and Erika were our Backroads Leaders, and they were fantastic. Perhaps we got lucky, but I'm thinking that Backroads knows how to hire people.


My family's first Backroads trip together was truly amazing!
We had outstanding and interesting leaders. The trip was well thought-out and the activities great for my wife and I and our two young teenagers. There was a lot of flexibility for everyone in the activities. Great way to experience Yellowstone and the Tetons!
Truly memorable...Thank you Ben, Liz, & Kasia
The glorious Grand Tetons took our breath away, but what made our trip most memorable was the fantastic team of Backroads' leaders who took the time to know our family & made our vacation exceed all expectations.

I loved sharing this amazing adventure with my children!
This was one of the best vacations our family has experienced because my husband and I were present for all the joy. Every single detail was taken care of by our Backroads guides, so we literally just had to show up with our children each morning ready for the day's adventure. It was magical and everything I had hoped for. I was concerned about my kids' reaction to the "kids only" activities. The Backroads guides were so much fun and in-tune to the kids that they thoroughly enjoyed every moment away from the adults!

The Backroads experience was amazing.
The trip was fantastic. I was very skeptical about spending this amount of money on any trip but it exceeded my expectations and it turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever had!
Incredible trip with outstanding guides
This was a transformational trip for our family and I will be a Backroads ambassador for life!
Best way to experience this region with family members
This was a fantastic way to give vacationers a sampling of outdoor activities in a small family group setting.
