Yellowstone National Park Vacation Packages

To help you get inspired to bike it up this summer, I thought I’d share with you some of my past biking adventures that you can experience yourself by jumping on one of our cycling tours in the Yellowstone-Tetons area! Here we go!

Antelope Flats

As the name implies, this bike ride is pretty darn flat which allows you to take in the scenery AND the wildlife as you coast around this back road in Grand Teton National Park.  I’ve seen everything on this ride: moose, bison, pronghorn, fox, coyote – I can almost guarantee that you will see something if you keep your eyes on your surroundings (and the road of course!!) You might even run into a bison jam on the road itself! Your ride ends at the famous and historic T.A. Moulton Barn, so if you’re a photographer, bring your camera!!

Grand Prismatic Trail

This flat gravel trail takes you the “back way” around the third largest hot spring in the world! Your guides will take you to the absolute best spot to view this colorful hot spring that will leave you awed and amazed. Plus, you get to ride through an area that was burned in the Yellowstone fires of 1988. Now this section of burned area is a beautiful bright green, filled with lodgepole pines as far as the eye can see, with the occasional ghost tree still standing and charred from those fires of nearly 25 years ago!

Wilson-Teton Village Bike Path

Beginning in the sleepy town of Wilson at the base of the Teton Pass, you’ll cycle from the local park, past the little red school house to a bike trail that passes horse pastures filled with daisies and lupine. From this path, you get a pretty neat view of the ski hill as you bike to the base of the world-renowned Jackson Hole ski resort. Keep an eye out as you cross over the creeks – you just might glimpse a moose’s antlers peeking out from the willows.

Teton Bike Path

The town of Jackson and the nearby valley (Jackson Hole) are an absolute outdoor Mecca. To keep up with the region’s image of being the ultimate outdoor playground, construction crews are working every summer on improving the valley’s bike paths and extending them from the town and beyond. Cycling on one of these paths directly beneath the towering Tetons is something you will never forget. The mountain range will seem to shift as you move along, sending illusions through your mind. That mountain you thought was the Grand Teton might actually be Teewinot or Mt. Owen! Your ride takes you to Jenny Lake, where the water is so clear you can see the trout swimming in the sparkling depths.

If these bike rides sound tantalizing to you, then you will want to check out our Yellowstone Vacation Packages to plan your next trip! If anything, I hope I can inspire you to grab that old bike in the garage, pump up the air in the tires, and get out for a summer ride on the bike path nearest to you!

See you on the trails,

 

Kasey Austin

 

Is there any better way of experiencing a place than cycling the back roads of a destination? I think not! 

Making your way to Old Faithful Geyser via bike will surely be a memorable part of your Yellowstone National Park vacations.  Cruising the rolling hills of California’s Wine Country, or the sea side trails of the San Juan Islands add an adventurous element to your trip that shouldn’t be missed.  Feeling the breeze on your face as you explore the natural wonders of not only our domestic destinations, but all across the globe, really helps give you a sense of peace and place as you travel.

Biking for vacation can seem overwhelming if you haven't done it before, but once you are on that seat, participating in all the elements around you, I promise, you will soon realize there is nothing better! Imagine pedaling your way through the small villages of Europe, coasting down hills to the salt pans of Peru, or biking the Michelson Trail in South Dakota.  Why not trade your 4 wheels in for 2 and see where it takes you! With so much to see and do I hope you will try incorporating biking into your future adventure vacation packages.

Plan your family adventure vacation with Austin-Lehman on our all-inclusive package where you indulge in heart pumping adventure with your family. We take care of your safety while you break all barriers to face your fears and prove yourself courageous in front of your kids.

The trip is all the more rewarding when you watch your kids do things that you never imagined them doing before. Explore Yellowstone Park and the amazing natural wonders like numerous geysers, mud pots, thundering waterfalls and serene lakes. Walk on the unexplored path of the forest off the main road and watch wild animals like grizzly bears, bison, elk and wolves in their natural abode.

Visit Old Faithful, the oldest geyser of the Yellowstone National Park, which splashes boiling water up to 160 feet high. Hiking vacations with the entire family provide a great memorable experience. Being able to enjoy crisp, clean air while climbing rugged hilltops brings inspiration to everyone that participates. With hiking options for every level from beginners to professionals, everyone can enjoy the simply breath taking views that hiking through the Park provide. The experience of a holiday with our adventures will give you memories to cherish a lifetime.
 

Family adventure vacations are double the fun with our adventure trips to Grand Teton and Yellowstone.  These national parks are wonderful playgrounds for the young and old alike.   Antelope Flats is great area to bike with family.  The flat land makes it easy to bike leisurely while taking in the scenic views of the Teton mountain range.  

While there, you’ll observe bison and antelopes grazing the fields. Hiking vacations really add to the adventure, and with plenty of trails to choose from, Grand Teton National Park makes a six day vacation way too short. The Jackson Lake area also offers trails for different levels of experience. All trails have scenic routes so everyone will have an enjoyable time.  Those who enjoy water based activities will definitely want to try kayaking in the calm waters of Jackson Lake.  Adventure seekers can conquer the rapids of the Snake River.  And after a full day of being on the water, relieve your tired muscles at the Teton Mountain Lodge Spa.

While on this vacation in the Wyoming area, you’ll also want to take some time to explore Yellowstone Park. Hiking trails lead to Storm Point where kids will enjoy spotting marmots and other forest critters may lurking amidst forest trees and the grasslands. Rocky promontories overlook Yellowstone Lake, and a visit to the Grand Prismatic Spring will enthrall everyone with its vivid colors.  

Have a wonderful Wyoming trip with the family by reviewing our adventure vacation packages available in our online travel catalog.
 

Night skies filled with stars, towering trees, majestic wildlife and clean, brisk air are closer than you think. Yellowstone National Park vacation packages can prove it.

Explorers who appreciate the water can experience fishing, kayaking or rafting in the spectacular white water of the Yellowstone River.

Kids will enjoy snacking on delicious fruit kebabs on the lovely shore of a glacial stream in Beehive Basin, where they can dip their feet in an alpine lake surrounded by wildflower studded hillsides. If you dare, raft the Yellowstone River, the longest free-flowing river in North America.

There’s no better time to see Yellowstone National Park than well…just about any time. Yellowstone Park is one of those destinations that offer an incredible adventure vacation any time of year. Each season in the park provides a unique experience for travelers.

As you might imagine, the busy time of the year is in the summer between June and September with the busiest months being July and August. Of course, our adventure vacation packages bring our guests to backcountry locations where crowds are few so that the magnificence of the landscapes and unique natural features can be fully appreciated.

An abundance of wildflowers greet visitors in June and July, and June, in particular, brings plenty of wildlife for travelers to see and snap photos. In September the fall flowers are in bloom and the elk come calling their mates. The winter brings an abundance of snow along with opportunities to snowshoe and glide through the trail on snowmobile.

Our Montana vacations offer summer travel times to Yellowstone to experience all the nature and wildlife that this season brings. We also have a five day wintertime journey in February for those ready to hit the scenic slopes with cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and of course, no winter adventure is complete without ice skates and snow mobiles too!

Surprise your family by planning an adventure trip to Yellowstone National Park.  Family adventure vacations are a great way to spend quality time with your kids and to indulge in loads of fun and entertainment. The journey through the park is a truly touching experience for both adults and kids equally.

The experience of breathing fresh air while hiking into Yellowstone’s backcountry is overwhelming. Before starting the hike, kids can participate in the registering as “junior rangers.” The whole family will never forget the excitement of watching geysers erupting right in front of everyone with splashing, steaming hot water spraying in all directions. The park is dotted with numerous mud pots, geysers, beautiful lakes, and of course, no one will want to miss Old Faithful. Take the off track path into the forest, and discover wild animals like bison, wolf, grizzly bear, moose and elk just as they are in their natural abode. It is an amazing experience watching a mama bear cuddling and rolling with her babies….from a distance of course.   Raft in the Yellowstone River. Play in the blue green waters of the lakes under thundering waterfalls. There are paths to hike that reach behind the waterfall so that you can jump in the water below. Just be careful not to allow the water current flow to sweep you away! Children love seeing their parents reveal a little of their own child like revelry in nature while doing things outside of normal daily activities while back at home. The quality time spent with each other as a family is totally worthwhile, and an experience that will live on with your children forever.

Montana is truly a traveler’s playground for all four seasons.  Different adventure trips can be enjoyed all year round.  During winter, Montana’s mountains are blanketed in snow and its slopes await skiing enthusiasts’ different moves. Yellowstone Park has different trails for cross-country skiing.  

There are snow coaches that will comfortably tour you around the landscape without risking frost bite and the various ill-effects of the harsh winter weather. Snow coaches will keep you warm from the below-zero temperature. If you can stand low temperatures and are ready for a new kind of sport, try snowshoeing.  Snowshoeing is basically walking on snow using special shoes. While it may look like an easy sport to enjoy, snowshoeing is great way to lose weight.

Snow mobiles are available for rent so you can explore the area in a faster way. Riding the snowmobiles requires a permit.  Because winter can be harsh, it is important to follow snowmobile safety procedures so you can enjoy an accident free ride. You can try sleigh rides for a more relaxing way to explore the scenic outdoors.  At the end of the adventure filled day, relax your muscles by soaking them into hot springs.  Share wonderful stories with the family over the fireplace while sipping hot chocolate.
