Discover the World's First National Park

The Trails through Yellowstone Lodging & Learning package is designed for those who want to enjoy a more active adventure in Yellowstone National Park. On this program, participants will spend time exploring Yellowstone’s wild backcountry, hiking along some of the most scenic trails the park has to offer while being led by an expert Yellowstone Forever field educator. Daily outings begin early to beat the crowds and increase odds of seeing wildlife that are most active at dawn. After exploring the park, the group will return to their lodging early every evening, so they can relax on their own.

Specific hikes are intentionally not listed in advance for this package; this allows education staff the flexibility to use their extensive knowledge to cater the hikes to the group‘s interests, the weather, and seasonal trail conditions.

Most sightings of wildlife occur at a distance; the field educator will provide high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars for group use.

Activity Level – Brisk aerobic hikes up to 8 miles per day with climbs up to 1,500 feet on dirt trails. Loose rocks, uneven footing, and off-trail hiking are possible. Good coordination is recommended.

Lodging & Learning programs are offered in partnership with Yellowstone Forever.
