The Wild, Wild West
Northwest Wyoming is home to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, filled with frontier towns, powder-puffed peaks and grazing bison, elk and pronghorn antelope. Glacier-scraped valleys, canyons and volcanic plateaus and geothermal forces create an otherworldly region. Serene lakes transition into fierce rivers that cascade into mighty falls, all before your eyes.
An Immersive Adventure in Nature
Explore America’s National Parks
Join us as we discover the natural wonders of America’s National Parks on foot, by water and by horseback! We explore Lamar Valley in the northeastern pocket of Yellowstone, float down the snaking Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, horseback ride up into the Absaroka Mountains and sleep under the constellations in tents for four nights inside Yellowstone National Park.
It was an amazing trip and I have to say that our guides were so impressive, I’m still in awe. Victoria and Kimberly were kind, professional, knowledgeable, energetic and great chefs also. This trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone met all of my expectations and then some. I would recommend Wild Women to everyone. Riding a horse in big sky country thru Paradise Valley was literally a dream come true. Thank you.”

Later, we spend three hours on a relaxing float down 10 miles (16 km) of the impressive Snake River within Grand Teton National Park. After, we’ll drive to our campsite and set it up together while anticipating a savory dinner cooked by our guides that we enjoy by the crackling campfire.

Geysers and Hot Springs
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is North America’s oldest national park and home to some of the largest and most amazing thermal features. With nearly 500 active geysers, the park is a geology phenom. We discover the natural wonders of Yellowstone on foot and visit Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and more!

Day 4
Lamar Valley
The Serengeti of North America
It’s an early morning start as we take advantage of the opportunity to possibly see the wolves while they are still active. Lamar Valley is known as the “Serengeti of North America” and we’ll be on the lookout for bison, elk and pronghorn too. Each day is an unmatched, unpredictable and unscheduled adventure in the wild…that’s the magnetic lure of wilderness. After an indulgent picnic lunch, we ease into an easy hike to take in the vistas of the Yellowstone River.

Paradise Valley
Just like Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane
Today, we head north of the park to the appropriately named Paradise Valley. Along with our expert local guide, we saddle up for a half-day horseback ride up into the Absaroka Mountains and enjoy lunch overlooking the Valley.
After the ride, if time permits, we may visit the local hot springs for an indulgent soak. Our muscles will be happy for the thermal pampering after a long week.

Depending on the group’s interest, pace and skill-level, we can check out backcountry geysers, descend deep into the bellies of rainbow-hued canyons or summit a mountain!
In the early afternoon, we’ll make our way back to Jackson for our final evening together and reminisce over a delicious farewell dinner.

Hiking
The hikes on this itinerary are designated as moderate.
The majority of the hikes on this itinerary will be less than 5 miles with a maximum elevation change of 500 feet (150 m). Depending on the group’s comfort and activity level, we can tailor the itinerary to include hikes that are up to 6.5 miles long (10.5 km) with up to 1,500 feet (450 m) in elevation change. Yellowstone’s average elevation is 8,000 feet (2340 m) above sea level, so this dynamic change is important to keep in mind for women coming from lower elevations!
The hikes will be on established trails with some varied and rugged terrain but no technical aspects. There will be plenty of time for breaks and to absorb the views (with a few snacks, Yogi Bear-style).
The trails curl through lodgepole forests and backcountry thermal features, pass cascading waterfalls and wind up the mountains. If a longer trail option is chosen, the elevation gain will be spread out gradually with no intensely steep sections.
Camping
We will be setting up our tents together at Yellowstone National Park. This is camping, not glamping, but any experience in the company of your fellow Wild Women can’t help but be a glamorous experience!
The Wild Women Way
If you’re wondering how we roll, it’s together. The Wild Women Way is our modus operandi, our mantra and our rock solid foundation. You can learn more about our Wild Ways HERE.
How We Support You

Like all our trips, this trip can be scaled to suit different abilities and comfort levels. If you have concerns or reservations about your ability to complete or enjoy this trip due to any physical or medical reasons, please contact us and let’s talk about it.
