Enjoy a strenuous, high-altitude, backpacking trip in one of the largest wild areas in the lower 48 states, northeast of Jackson Hole and adjacent to Yellowstone - The Wild Absarokas.

The Grand Tetons may be the most spectacular mountain range in the West, and we'll explore the beautiful wilds of this famous realm of sky-scraping peaks, snowfields, lush forests and meadows, roaring streams and alpine lakes.

Yellowstone?s upper Lamar River and its tributaries cut beautiful valleys through the mountains and plateaus of Yellowstone's northeastern backcountry. This is the area of wolf re-introduction in 1995 and a great place for viewing wildlife.

The northern half of the Winds' east slope is the rugged Fitzpatrick Wilderness. Here, vast glaciers and snow fields flank Wyoming's highest mountains, including 13,804-foot Gannet Peak on the Continental Divide.

This trip in the mountainous northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful way to experience an absolutely beautiful high mountain and valley area on a very mellow trail with only a couple of modest ups and downs.
