Day 2: Jackson / Grand Teton National Park
This morning, embark on a day of exploring Grand Teton National Park – one of the most stunning places in Wyoming. The Grand Teton Mountain Range rises above a scene rich with abundant wildlife and pristine lakes. Stop at Jenny Lake and gaze up in awe at the surrounding landscape. Perhaps take the optional boat trip across the lake for more incredible views of the Tetons from the water, or hike to Inspiration Point. Maybe have a picnic, spot a moose or even a grizzly bear and enjoy the serenity of this remarkable place. Other wildlife you might find include elk, beavers and black bears, so keep your eyes peeled! Continue to viewing sites for buffalo and antelope herds along the Gros Ventre River and Antelope Flats, then visit the Mormon Row Historic District to see the iconic Moulton Barn with the Tetons towering behind. For dinner, you'll head out as a group for a western-style chuck wagon dinner at a local restaurant.

This morning, drive from Jackson to Yellowstone National Park – the crown jewel of the American national parks – and spend the day exploring with your leader. Yellowstone is the country’s first national park – a mountain wilderness home to bears, wolves and herds of bison and elk. You’ll focus on the northern loop of the park today, which passes by the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone – an icon of the park’s complex and dramatic geological history. Pass the Norris Geyser Basin as well – the hottest and oldest geyser in Yellowstone’s thermal areas – among other sights along the loop. You have three full days to explore the park, which means you can take your time at all the sites and fully immerse yourself in this unique landscape.

Then, be hypnotised by the startling colours of the Grand Prismatic Spring – you should definitely have your camera handy today! Along the way, look out for abundant wildlife, including birdlife and moose.

Day 5: Yellowstone National Park / Wolf Tracking
Wake up super early this morning, ready for a very special last day in Yellowstone National Park – you’ll join a naturalist wildlife guide on a wolf-tracking adventure in a quieter, off-the-beaten-path section of the park. This is an ideal place to look for wolves, as well as lots of other wildlife like bison, elk and bears. High-power binoculars will be provided during the tour, so you have the best shot at glimpsing these elusive beasts. Check out the Mammoth Hot Springs in the park, then continue back to the hotel. Enjoy some time to rest and recharge this afternoon, then head out for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant with your group.

This trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks over six days had the right amount of hiking and sightseeing built in plus some free time to do what we wanted. We opted for horseback riding and we highly recommend it. There was some rain one day in our trip in August but we like that over a hot or humid day. Our guide, Mike, was awesome - fun and flexible.

Great trip taking in all the highlights of the parks. A 2* physical rating is probably a bit generous, 1* really
