Overview > Summary

Yellowstone National Park offers 1,200 miles of hiking, walking and backpacking trails that wind through the park’s 2.2 million acres of spectacular and mostly untouched terrain. Led by a naturalist, explore pathways that thread through Yellowstone’s matchless landscape of diverse flora, thermal features, landforms, canyons, cascades and waterways.

Highlights

• Discover a spectacular and mostly untouched landscape while hiking a fragment of Yellowstone's 1,200 miles of backpacking, hiking and walking trails.
• Four days in the field offer a tantalizing glimpse of the Great Caldera’s infinite wonders.
• An instructor’s interpretation and observations enhance your hiking field trips and provide an intimate portrait of the park’s wildlife, habitats and geology.

Activity Notes

Hikes of 3-6 miles on established hiking trails at elevations from 5,200-9,000 feet. Be prepared for sudden changes in weather.
Date Notes

Several less active, botanist-led wildflower walks each field day offer subtle blooms to blazing glory; walk 3 to 4 miles per day among life zones from the northern desert community to areas above timberline. Consider monkshood, pollinators, bears, elephanthead and fringed gentian when Yellowstone showcases its magnificent wildflowers.8/18/2013
