National Park Geysers, Peaks & Canyons
The Tetons. Majestic peaks above, meadows and glacial lakes below. And the Snake River winding through the valley. Yellowstone is one of a kind. Geysers really do erupt hourly. Sulfur-scented hot springs glimmer like jewels. Bison and elk are as common as tourists. As you hike, bike, kayak, raft and explore these epic regions, your experience will be just as spectacular.
Highlights
- Paddle through the twisting rapids of the Snake River with a professional white-water guide
- Bike a spectacular route beneath the jagged peaks of the Teton Range, one of the most beautiful car-free paths in the west
- Hike in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a geologic wonderland and home of the park's biggest waterfall
- Experience thrilling sightings of wonderful wildlife in the air, on the water and across the land—have your camera ready!

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 have only been minimally renovated, in accordance with park regulations. Jackson Lake Lodge, Lake Yellowstone Hotel and Old Faithful Inn 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 and bike 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 park’s regulations.

The only way to experience Yellowstone
Just returned and I cannot imagine a better way to see and experience Yellowstone. Nothing but perfection in terms of the guest experience by Backroads
Exceeded Expectations!
This was our first Backroads adventure and we were blown away with the trip from start to finish. I had fractured my shoulder 10 days before trip and I am so happy I decided to still go. Our Leaders, Alex, Ellie and KT were phenomenal. I couldn't do the biking, so they went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable with extra van time, etc. It was a pleasure spending a little one on one time with them. Energetic, helpful, resourceful, entertaining, knowledgeable, professional, the list of adjectives for the trip and the leaders is endless! I was able to hike, as these hikes are very easy, and the scenery was so memorable, I am so glad I did what I could. We will definitely be looking at more Backroads trips!
Tetons were AMAZING
great balance of water activities, biking and hiking. Our leaders were engaging, personable, creative, and amazing at what they do!!
Our trip exceeded our expectation.
I was with my grandson of 11 years old and the activities were organized in a perfect way to be able to enjoy them all together even with more than 60 years age difference. Accommodations, food including breakfast, lunch, picnic, dinner and snacks along the way were excellent. The tour leader was outstanding, going out of the way to satisfy our needs. I am sure this was the first of future trips.
This was a "must do" outdoor experience.
Natural beauty of the mountains is delivered every day whether hiking, biking, rafting, or kayaking. The Backroads staff was professional, kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The differences in physical abilities among the guests are easily handled by the staff.
WOW-yoming!
This trip is everything you hope and expect it to be! Beautiful scenery, every type of wildlife you'd imagine (moose, elk, bear, pikas, eagles, osprey, bison), just the right amount of activity (even though our kayak trip was canceled) and accommodating, knowledgeable, fun,professional guides. I was blown away by the food prep of our guide Beth, who did an amazing job of accommodating my vegan diet with delicious, nutritious, flavorful, substantial vegan lunches every day. (She also happens to be a chef!) Highly recommend the Dolce Tempo and multi-adventure options - it was exactly the right amount of activity and excitement for us (40-somethings who are NOT professional athletes!). This trip is also special because it maxes out at 12 guests - which means you get a lot of attention and care, and you get to really bond with your tripmates. The history and geography of this trip is unforgettable.
Don't wait. Book it!
This was our first backroads trip. It was an amazing vacation. It took group travel to the next level. Top notch guides Kim Justin and Claire were awesome and so very genuine. Good cohesive, friendly group and perfect weather further enhanced. Great riding and hiking routes. Know going in about the rustic accommodations (which they communicate upfront) and some of the dinners at those inns, but so worth it based on location within parks! Highly recommend!
What great trip!
First time with backroads but probably not the last! The views, the rides, the trip leaders and support staff, the wildlife, and new friends we made. Just some the things I'm grateful for. Overall a great experience. I will be recommending this to my friends.
Great activities, and great people.
This was an amazing trip. Our family lives in 3 separate states (MN, MO, and TX), and we six got together for a thoroughly delightful trip thru Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Jackson WY. We were joined by good people from NC and Barcelona Spain, and it all just clicked. Good food and lodgings, terrific activities and trip leaders! Definitely go with the e-bikes; the 50 mile bike trip with breathtaking scenery was literally a breeze. Watch out, it's easy to overeat on this trip!
Our trip was fabulous!
Great vacation- we had wonderful leaders and the itinerary was great. Hiking in Yellowstone was amazing and great bike trip back to Jackson. Very fun kayaking and rafting. Leaders were knowledgeable and engaging with all participants. Great to have no tv for a few days and enjoy the quiet. We can't wait for our next backroads adventure- highly recommend this trip!
