DAY 5: After breakfast, we will hike along the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Created 600,000 years ago by huge volcanic eruptions, the Canyon Rhyolite flow, and the melting of the last glaciers, this geologic wonderland is full of breathtaking views and roaring waterfalls.

After lunch back at Lake Yellowstone, we’ll shuttle to Grand Teton National Park. The park features the 40-mile long Teton mountain range with eight peaks over 12,000’. We’ll enjoy dinner on the riverbank and then a float trip to try and spot eagles, elk and deer. 0 miles.

DAY 6: We’ll get up early to catch the sunrise on the majestic Tetons as we pedal our way through Grand Teton National Park to Jackson Hole. Wildlife is abundant at this hour of the day, so keep an eye out for elk and moose grazing beside the road.

You’ll bike on a beautiful new bike path to pristine, azure Jenny Lake. Then right past herds of wild bison grazing beside the road. You can stop for lunch beside the river, and then continue the rest of the way into Jackson. 46 miles.

DAY 7: We end our tour with an easy ride around beautiful Jackson Hole on a bicycle path to Teton Village. We’ll say our good-byes over a picnic lunch and then shuttle to the airport by 1:00pm. 16 miles.

Visit the crown jewels of the National Park system in the springtime when tourists are few and wildlife abounds. Ice cold freshets rush along the road as we cycle north through the pine forests and aspen glades toward Yellowstone National Park. Its magic unveils itself in rising mists of simmering turquoise hot pools and gushing spouts of thundering geysers.

Cinnamon bison babies frolic amidst wildflowers and tender green grass in Teton National Park. Mountain lakes sparkle under the ragged front of snow-bright peaks. As we pedal along the bluffs of the Snake River, we are sure to sight osprey and eagles, herds of elk and bison, a coyote or moose and with luck, a wolf.

DAY 3: We’ll pass through the gates of Yellowstone and cycle along the Madison River to our lodging for the night: the Old Faithful Inn.
