Escape the crowds and experience Yellowstone’s impressive backcountry
To experience all that America’s first national park has to offer, Yellowstone guided backpacking trips are the way to go. Away from the crowds, you’ll learn about the rich history of the park from a certified guide who will lead you safely during the day and help you set up camp under the stars at night. On this 20-mile, four-day adventure, your group will experience Yellowstone the way few others do — off the beaten path and into the majestic backcountry wilderness. If photographing wildlife is your thing, this is the best way to ensure you’ll have the most action in front of your lens.

Trip Highlights
If you’re looking for solitude, you’ll find it on this guided Yellowstone backpacking trip (not an easy task in this busy park!). Every night, you’ll camp with views of the impressive Yellowstone River, and every day, you’ll hike between four and six miles taking in the park’s impressive geological features. Crevice Lake, the Black Canyon, Knowles Falls and Blacktail Deer Creek are just some of the highlights on this multi-day hike. This trip runs in spring or fall, so you’ll also beat that mid-summer Yellowstone heat, making for more comfortable hiking days.
