Quotes From the Field:

"We have talked endlessly about our adventures in Yellowstone and about Austin-Lehman and our spectacular guides since we've arrived home. Our pictures have been circulated by family and friends alike and we have been singing ALA's praises for days! It was the first time I have ever been away that I was genuinely sad to be coming home!"

Yellowstone - The Serengeti of the American West Multisport Adventure

Arriving in Yellowstone is like stepping into a scene on the Discovery Channel

Mountain peaks soar, reaching for the sky. Canyons, a palette of earth tones, are peppered with geysers, fumaroles, steam vents and mud pots. Rushing rivers feed crystalline lakes and mighty forests make a comfortable home for grizzly bears, moose, elk, bison, coyote and eagles - the richest diversity of wildlife this side of the Serengeti.

While most visitors spend one day in the park (most of which is spent in a car), Austin-Lehman adventurers spend a week on land, river and horseback, off the well-beaten tourist path. Hike unpopulated backcountry trails, geyser basin boardwalks and mountaintop lookouts. Raft the scenic Yellowstone River and ride horses high into the Absaroka Mountains. Learn both sides of the bison migration and wolf re-introduction controversies shaping today's Yellowstone, and why Chico Hot Springs is a favorite haunt of Hollywood celebrities.

Spend 6 days with Austin-Lehman in Yellowstone, and you'll quickly understand why it was designated in 1872 as the world's first National Park "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people."

A few more reasons why you've gotta go...


1. The wildlife: without a doubt, Yellowstone has the best wildlife viewing in all of North America.

2. The geothermal activity: Yellowstone is home to more geysers, hot springs, bubbling mud pots, fumaroles and steam vents than the rest of the world has combined.

3. The bragging rights: you'll be able to say you've been to the world's very first National Park.

4. Our insider's access: known only to locals (and of course our guides), we'll take a dip in a hidden hot springs that tumbles into the Gardiner River.
