1. ARRIVE JACKSON, WYOMING Tour begins: 1:00 PM at the Wort Hotel. We’ll meet you at Jackson Hole Airport for an included transfer to the Wort Hotel, starting point for your American safari. A change of view and a change of clothes (hiking gear is de rigueur out here) readies you for zoomed-in outdoor adventures inside America’s first national park. Wild and wonderful, Yellowstone is all about nature at her most passionate. She smolders with hot springs, steaming geysers, fumaroles and gurgling mud pots. She’s dressed in snow-tipped mountains, lodgepole forests, trout spawning streams, rushing waterfalls, green rivers, yawning canyons and rocks exquisitely sculpted with an imaginative hand. She challenges with trails – some 1,000 miles of them – and thrills with animals, like bison, bears and wolves. Take in the raw beauty before you as you drive from Jackson to Yellowstone National Park for a guided hike – and a naturally inspiring three-night stay – in the heart of a thermal wonderland. Your historic wilderness lodge, steps from Old Faithful geyser, hosts a welcome reception tonight with a feast of scenery. Meals D

So much of experiencing Yellowstone requires up-close and personal contact with the wild world and today’s hikes do just that. First up is an informative geology walk with our expert guide at West Thumb Geyser. His insights will make the day even more fascinating. Continue on to Yellowstone Lake and drive through Hayden Valley, looking for bison, bears, wolves and other resident, often furtive, wildlife.

enrich your explorations. Lesser known than its world-famous rival of a similar name, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one for the record books – and photo album! The best way to appreciate its grandeur and diversity is on foot; our hike will reveal the immensity of the canyon and the surging river below. Dine tonight at leisure near one of the most famous hot-headed geysers of the park – and one-time laundromat – Old Faithful. Meals BLD
