Yellowstone & Grand Tetons

This is it. The pinnacle. The trip that makes everything else make sense. Yellowstone and the Tetons are the crown jewels of American wilderness - and you're not visiting as a tourist, you're backpacking deep into the backcountry where most people never go. Imagine waking up in a meadow in the Tetons with the Cathedral Group glowing pink in dawn light. Imagine hiking past bison herds in Yellowstone, camping near geysers that erupt on their own schedule, seeing grizzly bear tracks fresh in the trail. You'll backpack at altitude, navigate alpine terrain, manage bear safety with canisters and protocols, and live in country so beautiful it hurts. This is multi-day expedition backpacking in the American West - the experience every serious backpacker dreams about. We'll spend 8-10 days moving through wilderness that defines what National Parks should be. The cost is high, the standards are high, and the rewards are infinite. This is the trip that validates every Tier 0 campout, every training hike, every moment of preparation. You'll carry photos from this trip in your wallet for decades. You'll tell your kids about it someday. This is why we exist.
