Experience Overview
Embark on a discovery of some of the most iconic natural landmarks in the USA. Visit the country’s oldest national park – the immense Yellowstone National Park – where Old Faithful Geyser shoots boiling water to the sky, bubbling hot rivers flow, and herds of bison roam. Spot wildlife like moose, bears and beavers hidden within the Grand Teton Mountain Range and follow along with a real-life wolf tracker who’ll teach you their secret tracking tricks in the wee hours of the morning. In the evenings, unwind like the cowboys used to do, with dinner, drinks and entertainment in the famous frontier town of Jackson, Wyoming.

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.

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 grizzly bears, wolves and herds of buffalo and elk. You’ll take the southern loop today and watch as Old Faithful Geyser sprays over 4000 gallons (14,000 litres) of boiling water into the air. Then, be hypnotised by the startling colours of the Grand Prismatic Spring – you should definitely have your camera handy today! 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.

Pass the Norris Geyser Basin as well – the hottest and oldest geyser in Yellowstone’s thermal areas – among other sights along the loop. Along the way, look out for abundant wildlife, including birdlife and grazing elk.

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 morning after breakfast, take a scenic drive back to Jackson. Watch the Idaho scenery pass you by as you follow the western edge of the Tetons and then cross the Snake River in Wyoming. You’ll arrive in Jackson at about 3 pm this afternoon, where your trip will come to an end. If you’d like to extend your stay, just speak to your booking agent.

Reonel - Traveled, August 2023
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

This was an excellent trip and we loved being there in early fall, when the summer crowds were gone, the colors were changing and it was not cold yet. The itinerary was excellent and it was nice balance of hiking, geysers, flexible time and optional activities and learning about the wildlife. Out guide was a great communicator, flexible, caring and very knowledgable. The hotels chosen were clean and excellent locations. Transportation was comfortable and driving distances were not too long, with adequate stops.

This trip was fabulous! Our guide, Indy, was a rock star. Funny, kind, passionate... he was able to accommodate a group of mixed abilities. I truly felt like I had a "trip of a lifetime." I highly recommend this trip!

Our first experience with Intrepid to both Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons was absolutely incredible. We saw so many beautiful places and really experienced them with extensive hiking and a guide who was a true expert of the region. It doesn't seem possible that we could see so much in only 5 days and 5 nights but we did. Our group of only 12 were mostly strangers when the trip began but we felt like friends at the end. Our guide did all he could to make the trip memorable by offering us every opportunity to see and experience everything these places offered. I just can't say enough about the beauty of these places and how we felt like we truly grew to know and love it all.

We had a very enjoyable trip. Kaitlyn and other passengers were great to travel with. Van used is inadequate and if it had been full trip would have been awful. Hotels only adequate. This was Coach quality travel at a First Class price.

Fabulous trip to Jackson, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone. It was a great itinerary that included everything you would want to see, as well as a little hiking and a float trip on the Snake River. Our trip leader Tim was incredible! Knowledgeable, organized, and entertaining. I highly recommend this trip. Even if you could travel here on your own, you could never get as much out of it because you’d have to research things before hand and wouldn’t know the stories behind the sights or what you’re looking for. It’s a perfect trip during a pandemic when it’s hard to leave the US. This was always on my bucket list and a pandemic made it happen. You’ll love the geology and wildlife and it will open your eyes to a part of American history. It was my first Intrepid trip and I’ve been recommending it to friends since I got back.
