We’re wild about Wyoming! The spirit of the west is alive and well in Jackson, our base for this adventure. Hiking in the Tetons rewards us with inspirational views and maybe a moose or two. We'll likely see bald eagles while kayaking on Jackson Lake. Yellowstone’s wonderful waterfalls and the spectacular golden canyon are a trip highlight. Our horse ride outside Jackson is an iconic western experience. See all the best geysers and boiling pools while biking around Yellowstone. We are poignantly reminded of the past while watching the gentle buffalo graze. Relax on an afternoon float trip, camp riverside in tent cabins and white water raft the Snake River gorge. These mountains and thermal areas are surely the jewels of the National Park system.
