“We had a wonderful time, and our guides were a pleasure to work with! Frankly, I was surprised we made it too, given the differing levels of athleticism. We ended up with some great pictures, and everyone really enjoyed themselves.”

“Leslie and I went on the guided hike today and really had a blast. The company geared the hike towards our ability and experience and they were right on. They took us up the Gros Ventre mountain range, which is due east of the Tetons. The hike was challenging, which we enjoyed, and the guide knew a ton about the area, the foliage and the wildlife. Once we got to the top, we were blown away by the view.”
