When President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yellowstone National Park in 1903, he proclaimed it “absolutely unique in the world.” Embracing the idea of natural beauty as a national asset, he championed the idea of national parks, building a priceless legacy for generations to follow. In the northwest corner of Wyoming, two treasured parks offer a classic family vacation as captivating today as in Teddy’s time. What better way to explore Yellowstone and the Tetons than on this in-depth adventure? From wildlife to waterfalls, rafting, smelling sage and looking up at the stars, Yellowstone Country still works strong magic.
Location of Adventure
Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, Wyoming
Group Size Limit: Approximately 14 Travelers
A very important feature of our trips is the limited group size as nature expeditions are best experienced with smaller sized groups of travelers.
Included
Accommodations, meals from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on final day, bottled water, services of NHA Expedition Leaders and local guides, most gratuities, airport transfer on Day 1, permits and entrance fees, all taxes.
Not Included

Physical Requirements
Moderate / Flexible
On this trip we awaken early, often before sunrise, when wildlife viewing is at its best and other visitors are at a minimum.
Important Information about This Trip
Our Expedition Leaders know this area so well that they can, with our guests’ help, create a relatively remote experience even though this area is known as a traditionally crowded spot, particularly in summertime. We operate this trip similarly to our African safaris: We visit wildlife spots in the early-morning hours, when casual tourists are still asleep and the wildlife viewing is best. We also know many trails well off the beaten path, to avoid crowds. Walks of several miles will allow you to take advantage of our Expedition Leaders’ knowledge so you, too, can experience the region’s “hidden” treasures.
Getting There & Getting Home
Arrive in Jackson, Wyoming in time for a 6pm orientation dinner and depart anytime on the final day as we spend our final evening together in Jackson.
Age Limits on Family Adventures
We generally welcome children ages 6 and older on all of our Family adventures. However, while some six-year-olds are well-suited for some or all of our Family adventures, others may not be ready for the requirements of group travel. For this reason, we believe it is more useful to consider this age limit a guideline rather than a hard and fast rule. We believe that you, as a parent or guardian, are best qualified to decide whether or not your child would enjoy the experience without compromising the comfort of others. We strongly encourage you to call our office to speak with an Adventure Travel Specialist about the specific requirements of the trip you're considering so that you can make an informed decision about your child's participation. We are unable to allow children younger than six on these scheduled departures due to safety regulations, physical limitations, and concerns regarding group dynamics.
