Select participants and date
You step away from the Vegas glow at 8 a.m., the minibus humming and cooling desert air giving way to long stretches of sage and then sudden bands of sandstone that climb into red amphitheaters. On day one you reach Cedar Breaks' 10,000-foot rim — the wind seems to rearrange the clouds just to spotlight the lava flows and the valley's distant river. By the time the campfire is banked and hot tub steam rises, constellations feel close enough to reach.

Adventure Tips
Bring a refillable water system
Bottled water is not provided; carry a 2–3 liter bladder and plan to refill at lodges and comfort stops.
Layer for altitude swings
Temperatures can drop quickly above 8,000–10,000 feet; pack insulating mid-layers and a waterproof shell.
Practice bear-safe behavior
Store food in provided lockers, keep distance from wildlife, and carry bear spray if you plan independent hikes.
Comfortable, broken-in boots
Expect uneven trails and short steep sections — sturdy hiking boots with ankle support reduce fatigue and ankle strain.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Bison
- Grizzly bear (and occasionally wolves)
History
Yellowstone was designated the world’s first national park in 1872; the Teton Range uplifted via a normal fault, creating sharply exposed peaks, while Mormon pioneers shaped Salt Lake City's cultural landscape in the mid-1800s.
Conservation
Practice Leave No Trace, use bear-proof storage for food, and stick to boardwalks in geothermal basins to protect fragile microbial mats and prevent injury.
