Yellowstone National Park is a paradise for family adventure and this trip is full of enough challenge, accomplishment and fun for everyone! Hike into Yellowstone’s backcountry, through the rainbow spray of a thundering waterfall and beside a shooting geyser. Raft a playful stretch of the beautiful Yellowstone River, perfect for beginners. Wind your way along a trail high into the Montana Rockies on horseback alongside a 4th generation cowboy, keeping an eye out for eagles, elk, bison and wolves. When night falls, recharge with a soak in a soothing hot spring and watch Old Faithful erupt under a blanket of stars before retiring to the comfort of your historic inn or resort.

Highlights

Yellowstone

  • Explore the world’s first National Park with knowledgeable guides.
  • View wildlife in one of the best wildlife viewing areas in all of North America.
  • Witness Yellowstone’s fascinating geothermal activity: shooting geysers, hot springs, bubbling mud pots, fumaroles and steam vents.
  • Experience Paradise Valley on horseback and the gorgeous backdrop for the film The Horse Whisperer.
  • Learn both sides of the bison migration and wolf re-introduction controversies shaping today’s Yellowstone.

Unique Aspects

While most visitors spend just one day in the park (most of which is spent in a car), this trip brings a week of ‘off the well-beaten tourist path’ adventure on land, river, and horseback. Travel to areas known only to locals (and of course the guides). You’ll enjoy relaxing in hidden hot springs and hiking unpopulated backcountry trails, geyser basin boardwalks, and mountaintop lookouts.

Accommodations

The historic Old Faithful Inn, built in the early 1900s, is one of the last log hotels in use in the United States. Its core is seven stories high and features a giant fireplace and rustic balconies with rocking chairs. Catch stunning views of Yellowstone Lake at the majestic Lake Yellowstone Hotel. Watch elk graze outside of Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and stay in a wide range of accommodations at Chico Hot Springs Resort from rustic log cabins to more modern options.
