Featured Trips
Horseback Riding & Fly Fishing in the Old West
Wake to the scent of fresh pine and the sound of horses stirring nearby. This backcountry pack trip offers an intimate introduction to the untamed landscapes surrounding Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Ride through alpine meadows, follow secluded mountain trails, and spend your evenings beside a glowing campfire beneath an immense western sky. No previous riding or camping experience is required; expert guides make the wilderness approachable, comfortable, and rewarding. After leaving the backcountry, continue to Jackson Hole for privately guided fly-fishing experiences on some of the American West's most celebrated rivers.
Highlights: Horseback pack trip, wilderness camping, campfire dining, backcountry fly fishing, Jackson Hole and private river guides.
A West Coast Dream
The request was Yosemite, wine tasting, and orcas—so we created the ultimate West Coast journey. Begin in San Francisco before traveling into the Sierra Nevada to encounter giant sequoias, cascading waterfalls, and Yosemite's iconic granite walls. Continue to Napa and Sonoma for private tastings, vineyard dining, and leisurely cycling through wine country. The final chapter takes you north by air and seaplane to Washington's San Juan Islands, one of North America's finest destinations for viewing orcas. Explore an island culture shaped by vineyards, farm-to-table cuisine, kayaking, biking, and the sea.
Highlights: San Francisco, Yosemite, giant sequoias, private wine tastings, vineyard biking, scenic seaplane flights, kayaking and orca viewing.
Grand Teton Wildlife & Adventure
Discover the "Patagonia of America," where jagged summits rise above alpine lakes, open meadows, and wildlife-rich valleys. With Jackson Hole as your base, set out on private wildlife safaris, guided hikes, scenic rafting trips along the Snake River, and horseback rides through the Tetons. Add fly fishing, waterfall walks, or a relaxed afternoon in town. Choose from character-filled lodges, sophisticated hotels, or a private villa. This is an ideal long weekend for couples, families, or a memorable trip with friends.
Highlights: Sunrise wildlife safari, private hiking, Snake River rafting, horseback riding, fly fishing and luxury lodging.
Alaska Fly-In Adventure
Experience Alaska at its wildest through two remote wilderness lodges accessible only by helicopter or seaplane. At Winterlake Lodge, hike through pristine landscapes, visit glacier camps by helicopter, and try fat-tire e-biking across extraordinary terrain. Continue to coastal Tutka Bay Lodge for sea kayaking, culinary experiences, and unforgettable bear viewing along the Katmai Coast. Between adventures, enjoy warm hospitality, locally sourced gourmet meals, thoughtfully paired wines, and uninterrupted views of mountains, glaciers, forests, and sea.
Highlights: Helicopter and seaplane flights, glacier exploration, hiking, kayaking, bear viewing, gourmet dining and remote luxury lodges.
