Backpack through the Yellowstone and Teton Wilderness areas, home to some of the most incredible scenery Montana and Wyoming have to offer. While exploring remote corners of these areas, developing backcountry living skills and learning to live comfortably in these unique outdoor settings, you’ll catch beautiful sunrises, experience sleeping under the stars. Cool off with a couple of days whitewater rafting the waves of the Gallatin and Snake Rivers. This classic western adventure is a great way to develop new skills, explore beyond the crowds at these iconic national parks, and make friendships and memories to last a lifetime.
