This perfect introduction to the wonders of the Rocky Mountains has no equal. Hike amidst the amazing Teton peaks, sea kayak through the spectacular high lakes of wildlife-rich Yellowstone, bike the glorious valley of Jackson Hole, whitewater raft Wyoming's amazing Snake River then learn to rock climb the granite spires for two unforgettable days in the most breathtaking mountain range in the United States.
 Backpack the Tetons
We’ll get to know each other better and grow as a team while hiking through the breathtaking scenery of Grand Teton National Park. Passing over high ridges and admiring the many sparkling lakes tucked among jagged peaks, we will spend our days learning basic navigational skills, low-impact camping techniques and wilderness cooking procedures. Evenings will find us relaxing around the campfire, full from a delicious dinner, swapping stories and staring up in amazement at the bountiful and brilliant star-filled sky. Sea Kayak Yellowstone’s Wilderness
Picking up sea kayaks, we’ll paddle the calm waters of North America’s largest high mountain lake for the next three days. Few words can describe the serenity and beauty of gliding across the mirror-like waters of Yellowstone National Park in 2-person, ocean-going kayaks. Our kayaks will enable us to see a part of Yellowstone few people get to experience. By day, we will paddle through quiet coves where we will be on the lookout for white pelicans, osprey, and bald eagles that feed on Yellowstone’s abundant trout. Along the shoreline, we will keep watch for some of the amazing variety of wildlife to be found such as moose, elk, bison, bears and wolves. Each night, we will be camping at a pristine beach where we will be amazed by the brilliance of the stars at 9,000 feet. Before departing, we’ll marvel at Old Faithful, stand in awe at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and shiver in the spray of world-famous
Yellowstone Falls.
Whitewater Raft the Snake River
Our next adventure will bring our group back for another round of water sports. On the amazing Snake River, we’ll learn whitewater rafting on one of the finest stretches of whitewater to be found in North America. This famous river offers numerous exciting Class III and IV whitewater rapids. Working as a team under the careful guidance of local instructors, we'll shoot the fun and safe whitewater in what is sure to be the thrill of a lifetime. Bike the Tetons
With these dramatic granite spires as our backdrop, we'll pedal one of the most beautiful cycling paths in the world. Along the way, we'll enjoy inspiring views as we roll through sagebrush plateaus and over bison-dotted moraines. Rock Climb the Teton PeaksPedaling under the Teton peaks will have whetted our appetites to get up above the trees. Fortunately, Jackson Hole is home to an abundance of world-class rock climbing. The valley is also home to the world-famous Exum School of Mountaineering. Under the careful instruction of these seasoned guides, we'll learn basic climbing techniques and culminate our adventure by summiting one of the magnificent, age appropriate peaks in Grand Teton National Park. After our assension to the top, we'll conclude our adventure with a traditional group banquet in the Old West town of Jackson Hole, boarding our flights home the next morning.
