This trip includes shuttle service from Old Faithful back to Jackson.  We consider this grand journey moderate to strenuous with ever lasting memories.

Promising outstanding alpine hikes and Teton views, this experience will be etched in your memory forever. This  has been a favorite of our guides and guests. Hiking is strenuous, but well worth the effort.

TRIP #7:  September 21-24 (4 days)  $825                 (4 spaces left)                                                                Yellowstone National Park -Bechler/Dunanda Falls     This region of the park offers large open meadows, wildlife, geothermal features and cascading waterfalls. Not far from our beautiful Boundary Creek campsite is the magnificent Dunanda Falls. At the foot of the falls are natural hot pools that invite you to soak in their warm waters. Our day hikes take us to several of the Bechler’s many beautiful waterfalls. We don’t make promises, however, the fall colors can be phenomenal and wildlife plentiful. Count on hearing the elk bugle on this trip. You can’t beat autumn in the Bechler!  Easy to moderate hiking.  Plan to visit early and enjoy the Fall Arts Festival in Jackson Hole. Contact our local Chamber for details.
