Yellowstone National Park Meet your MT Sobek guide at the hotel this morning for a full day exploration of Yellowstone National Park.

Known as the Serengeti of North America, Yellowstone is famous for its wildlife herds, striking views and

thousands of geothermal features. Your day will include stops at many of the park's iconic features including

the geyser basins, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone with spectacular waterfalls and the expansive

Yellowstone Lake. Along the way, keep an eye out for wildlife, the Hayden Valley is one of the best places to

Day 3

Yellowstone National Park Today you will have a full day free to explore more of Yellowstone on your own. We recommend exploring

more of the northern and eastern parts of the park. The Lamar Valley is where wolves were first reintroduced

in the 1990s and is a great place for early morning and evening wildlife viewing. Visit the lesser known Tower

Falls on the Yellowstone River which plunges 132 feet and nearby Specimen Ridge contains the worlds

largest concentration of petrified trees. For a unique experience, we recommend a short hike and a dip in the

Boiling River located near Mammoth Hot Springs. NOTE: the Boiling River is best visited in winter, fall or late

summer when the water temperatures are safe to soak in the natural hot tub.

This evening meet your kayaking guide on the western edge of Yellowstone Lake for a guided kayaking

excursion. Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake in the country above 7,000 feet, offering boundless

opportunity to paddle away from the crowds. Late afternoon and evening are the perfect time to get out

on the water when the winds diminish and the wildlife is most active. Your guide will lead you around the

shoreline to the West Thumb Geyser Basin where there are many geothermal features on land and under

water. Relax and take in all of the natural beauty of Yellowstone at sunset and return to the marina just before

dark.


Day 4

Yellowstone National Park-Teton Village After checking out of your hotel this morning, you will drive south through Yellowstone and Grand Teton

National Parks to your overnight accommodations.

If time permits today, we recommend a stop en route for lunch at Jackson Lake Lodge. The lodge has several

dining options and features 60-foot floor to ceiling windows offering some of the best views of the Teton

Mountain Range.

Accommodation: Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole or Similar

Transportation: 2 hour drive



Day 5

Grand Teton National Park Wake early for a private guided morning wildlife safari in Grand Teton National Park. The animals are most

active at dawn and dusk, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures. Throughout the morning you may

observe grizzly bears, black bears, elk, bison, moose, wolves, big horn sheep, mule deer, coyotes, trumpeter

swans, and golden and bald eagles. The light and color in the valley is also spectacular this time of day,

perfect for photography. You will return to the hotel around 11:00 AM.

You will have the afternoon free to relax or explore more of the area on your own. This afternoon you may

consider exploring the Jenny Lake area in Grand Teton National Park. This is one of the most spectacular

spots in Grand Teton National Park and can be crowded in the summer months. Here you can hike the trails

around the lake or take the passenger boat across the lake and hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point.

Consider stopping at the historic Jenny Lake Lodge for lunch. Housed inside a 1930's-era log cabin nestled in

the woods at the base of the Teton Range the Dining Room features rustic elegance and locally sources high-

quality sustainable meals, with many ingredients coming from the surrounding Jackson Hole area. NOTE: The

Dining Room is open June-early October and reservations are highly recommended.

Other activity suggestions for this afternoon are a scenic tram ride to the top of Rendezvous Mountain at

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort or exploring downtown Jackson which has many wonderful galleries, shops

and restaurants.


Transportation: Private vehicle touring

Day 6

Jackson Today you will have your choice of private rock climbing, fly fishing or a guided hike.

This morning meet your private rock climbing instructor for a full day of outdoor adventure and fun. Your

instructor will customize the day to fit your wish list and ability level. The day can include learning the basics

of rock climbing and testing your new skills or it can simply be a day of climbing and rappelling. Go at your

own pace with an easy relaxing day or a full non-stop challenging one depending your wishes.

-OR-

Meet your private guide early this morning for a day of fly fishing on the Snake River. The Snake River is not

only known for fine-spotted cutthroat trout but also for the spectacular views. Your day will be tailored to fit

your ability level, goals and current water conditions. NOTE: Your guide will select the waterway that offers



the best fishing conditions which may be some of the spring creeks that feed into the Snake River or one of

the nearby rivers.

-OR-

Meet your private MT Sobek hiking guide this morning/afternoon for a guided hike. Explore the peaceful

corners of the Jackson Hole Valley on foot. Your guide will choose the hike to fit the current conditions, group

dynamic and ability level. Along the way learn about the wildlife, plants, wildflowers and the ecology of the

Greater Yellowstone area. The hike is approximately six hours and a picnic lunch is served trailside.


Meals: L

Day 7

Jackson Rise early this morning to experience something truly extraordinary-a private scenic float on the Snake River

with an exclusive riverside brunch. Your journey begins with a sunrise float in a comfortable wooden dory

boat, surrounded by the breathtaking Wyoming scenery. After pushing off into the river, relax with hot

beverages and warm blankets while searching for wildlife and taking in the sights and sounds of the river. An

early morning departure provides privacy and tranquility to enjoy the river's magical beauty. This time of day

is perfect for observing elk, moose and deer as they come out to forage in the cooler part of the day. Arrive

at a private riverside camp where brunch will be served. After fueling up, take a stroll through the beautiful

Cottonwood forest before returning to your hotel in the late morning.

This afternoon visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art for a private docent led tour. The museum houses

an impressive collection of more than 5,000 artworks representing wild animals from around the world, with

pieces by prominent artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John James Audubon, and Carl Rungius.

The building itself is also a work of art; built into a hillside overlooking the National Elk Refuge, the quartzite

facade was inspired by the Slains Castle in Scotland.




Day 8

Depart Jackson, Wyoming After checking out of your hotel this morning you will drive to the Jackson Airport, return your rental car and

board your homeward bound flight.

Transportation: 30 minute drive to the airport



Lake Yellowstone Hotel

The historic Lake Yellowstone Hotel is a grand colonial style hotel on the shore of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. The

classic white columns accent the yellow and stand apart from the surrounding forest and meadows. This historic landmark was the first

hotel to open in Yellowstone in 1891. The expansive lobby features incredible lake views, live string quartet or pianist music, plenty of

relaxed seating and a casually elegant dining room. The vintage accommodations have been lovingly restored to be classic and refined

providing a true National Park Lodge experience. While there is no Wi-Fi, television or air conditioning at the property, wired internet

is available.
