Overview
  • Join us as we visit historic Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Hike and walk the landscapes that make Yellowstone so unique, from the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the limestone terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs, and the geyser basins at Norris and Old Faithful. Then experience the dramatic scenery of the Teton Mountain Range. Unencumbered by foothills, the peaks of the Tetons rise through steep coniferous forest into alpine meadows strewn with wildflowers, past blue and white glaciers to naked granite pinnacles. Marvel at the string of jewel-like lakes, fed by mountain streams that are set tightly against the steep foot of the mountains.
