Yellowstone Trekking
Frequently Asked Questions

We will send you detailed information about the tour in a Pre-Departure Packet once you register.

What is the weather going to be like?
The average high temperature in Yellowstone at this time of year is 61 degrees Fahrenheit while the nightime lows can drop below freezing. So, be prepared for nice hiking days and cold nights.  It is even possible we will have snow.  This is a fantastic time to be in the area since the animals are active, the bugs are not, and the hotsprings are that much more pleasant when the temps are low.

What is the best way to get to the tour and where do we meet?
We meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which has its own airport. Because we meet early in the morning, you will need to arrive the day before. We'll provide some hotel recommendations for you in our Pre-Departure Packet after you book the tour.

What should I do if I want to extend my vacation in the area?
Jackson Hole itself is worth spending one or two days. For more time than that, you will definitely want to rent a car to explore Grand Teton National Park or other areas of Yellowstone. Also in the area is the fun town of Bozeman.

What ability level do I really need to be for this Adventure?
This Adventure is rated as Moderate. The hiking can be strenuous for some people, although we are not at great altitude, the route is fairly flat, and we are not carrying packs. Anyone of moderate fitness will be able to complete this trek.

For what type of people would you recommend this Adventure?
This trip is fantastic if you have always wanted to hike in the backcountry - especially in Yellowstone - but never had the opportunity or knew how to go about it. It is also perfect if you have an interest in Western cowboy traditions, fishing, or geothermal features.
