Hike, Paddle & Float: Outdoor Adventures in the Grand Tetons

David | Morristown, NJ

Just finished my first Road Scholar trip, hiking and paddling in the mountains of Wyoming. We had a wonderful time with the activities, the skilled and upbeat staff, and making new friends within our group. Totally impressed by the whole experience!

Seeting the Tetons from Teton Science School was wonderful! I heartily recommend it, for its gorgeous places, great science/learnng, and really fantastic young, highly-educated instructors/guides. And this trip, putting us in the dorms, was very cost-effective. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing program. The scenery is wonderful and we so enjoyed being out in nature to enjoy the mountains and the Snake River. We learned so much and the trip to Murie Ranch was superb. If you like hiking and being on the water, you will enjoy this trip. Such an outstanding destination!

This Road Scholar program catered to different activity levels in a way that included every participant. We truly got into the park! Each lecture presented a valuable aspect of the park, from geology to wildlife, with humor and excellent visuals. The group leaders were SO encouraging, without being pushy. They were all personable and so smart! The food was great! Visiting the Art Museum on the last day was a perfect end to the week.

The staff were wonderful, the accommodations comfortable, the surrounding views of the Tetons just beautiful (and amazing) and the activities were great fun. Not as "spirited" as I would have liked but I had a great time nevertheless.

This is the best Road Scholar I have experienced to date. I had long wanted to experience the beauty and majesty of the Grand Tetons and this program provided everything and more that I expected or hoped to achieve. It is active and one will experience a saturation of the beauty of the Tetons, led by youthful leaders who made this a memorable and totally enjoyable week of learning, hiking, etc.

This program was excellent because of the enthusiasm and knowledge that the group leaders possess. Being younger and extremely educated and organized gives me hope for the future of our world! The Teton Science School is a wonderful facility for groups of all ages.

Diane – Class of 2023 | Acworth, GA

Program is very well-planned, with just the right amount of time spent on each activity. Instructors were very flexible, always soliciting our input on schedules, activities, etc. They gave us options. Their knowledge and enthusiasm MADE the program. The mountains and landscape were awesome. I was worried that I would not be able to physically keep up, but I did fine. In fact, I came home and signed up for the winter session with snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and the sled ride….none of which I have ever done before!

Had a wonderful time-enjoyed the entire trip. I q was pleased to see other women traveling alone or with sisters/friends. That would be my plan next time. Entire support staff were enthusiastic about teaching and getting to know each of us. Exceptional young folks and you are fortunate to have a connection with The Teton Science Center.

Hiking, Paddling, and Floating in the Tetons was my first Road Scholar trip. It was as near perfect as a vacation can be and set a high bar for future Road Scholar trips. I look forward to traveling with Road Scholar again.

This was my first RS trip. The Tetons and the program are well worth the investment. The varied activities are all well done and since they offer a varieity of options on the hiking/canoeing, everyone can choose what they prefer. Meeting and getting to know other participants is an added bonus. I am already planning several other trips with Road Scholar.

This was a well-designed program that takes advantage of the fabulous scenery of the Tetons. A good variety of activities that should suit anyone looking for outdoor fun that's challenging but not too strenuous.

I thoroughly enjoyed another Road Scholar program. A variety of well planned activities everyday from hiking, canoeing, river rafting, museums and educational lectures to help understand the environment of the Tetons. It was nice everyone could choose their own level of activities. The young adult leaders were amazing with their knowledge and professional talents make this a fantastic program which I highly recommend.

Wonderful Program . Accurately stated as " Spirited " . Teton School guides and leaders were all excellent. Accommodations clean and just all that was needed . Was out of the rooms more than in the rooms . The Varied activities were all fun , very scenic , not overly strenuous, just enough to be active , yet feel like a vacation as well for myself .
