Yellowstone: The Serengeti of the American West

Yellowstone hiking is best along unpopulated backcountry trails, geyser basin boardwalks and mountaintop lookouts. Raft the scenic Yellowstone, the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states. Ride horses high into the Absaroka Mountains alongside 4th generation Montana cowboys. Learn both sides of the bison migration and wolf re-introduction controversies shaping today’s Yellowstone, and why Chico is a favorite haunt of Hollywood celebrities.
Spend 6 days with Austin-Lehman in Yellowstone, and you'll quickly understand why it was designated the world's first National Park, "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people."
