Backcountry Safaris: Capitol Reef & Jackson Hole Adventures

Backcountry Safaris offers immersive adventure tours that vividly capture the rugged spirit of Utah’s Capitol Reef and Wyoming’s Jackson Hole region. Based out of Torrey, Utah, this outfitter threads together a variety of private, guided experiences that range from off-road Jeep excursions to wildlife safaris and multi-day hikes. Here, the striking landscapes of Capitol Reef — including Cathedral Valley, Temple of the Sun, and the Waterpocket Fold — come alive with geological drama sculpted by layers of Navajo sandstone, deep canyons, and expansive desert plains. These tours offer travelers access to Remote, rarely visited vistas beyond the main park corridors, revealing the vast scale and layered history of southern Utah’s parklands.

Moving north, Backcountry Safaris expands its reach into the iconic Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. From the iconic curves of Yellowstone’s Upper and Lower Loops to Grand Teton National Park’s rugged spires and wildlife-rich valleys, their private and public tours offer an intimate window into alpine mountains, shimmering lakes, and abundant wildlife. Seasonal winter safaris spotlight species such as elk, bison, and wolves against snow-dusted backdrops, while summer expeditions might pair whitewater rafting with purposeful wildlife viewing.

What sets Backcountry Safaris apart is their deeply knowledgeable, patient guides who understand the rhythm of the landscape and prioritize visitor experience over pace. Off-road vehicle tours in Capitol Reef enable access to backcountry wonders where the geology tells stories hundreds of millions of years in the making. In Jackson Hole and Yellowstone, the combination of private tours and specialty excursions—like snowshoeing, snowmobiling, or e-bike trips—brings an adaptive edge to adventure that works for all seasons.

The company’s commitment to safety and education ensures each trip connects visitors with the land’s history, natural science, and wildlife behavior—in ways that feel authentic and unhurried. For travelers seeking a raw, insightful encounter with two of the West’s most spectacular landscapes, Backcountry Safaris offers a diverse portfolio of trips that deliver both awe and expertise.
