Your Authentic Wagon Train Journey
The Teton Wagon Train offers a genuine taste of the past, nestled between the iconic landscapes of Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Our modern Conestoga wagons, designed for comfort with padded seats and rubber tires, provide a cozy home on wheels as you traverse majestic terrain. Accompanied by expert wagon masters and cowboy/cowgirl guides, you’ll explore the backcountry, encountering wildlife such as moose, elk, and deer.
The adventure includes four days and three nights, with new camps set up each day. You’ll have the opportunity to experience peaceful evenings by high mountain lakes, witness the natural beauty of the region, and travel within the renowned “Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone.” Gentle riding horses are available for those who wish to explore further afield or ride between camps, discovering hidden waterfalls and stunning viewpoints.
A Week of Unforgettable Camp Activities
The Teton Wagon Train is more than just a ride; it’s a full-fledged immersion into Western life. Activities cater to all ages and experience levels, ensuring everyone finds something to enjoy. Whether you’re an experienced rider or have never been on a horse, our ranch hands will provide clear instructions.
In camp, engage in a variety of activities including nature hikes, swimming, and horseback riding. Learn the art of handling a rope, try your hand at canoeing, or test your aim with tomahawk and knife throwing. For those who prefer to simply relax, the beautiful country provides ample opportunities to unwind.
Evenings are a highlight, filled with campfire songs and stories shared with cowboys, recounting tales of the Old West. On clear nights, marvel at the vast expanse of stars, and if you’re fortunate, witness the captivating dance of the Northern Lights. Adding to the authentic experience, a mountain man might make an appearance, and a Pony Express rider even delivers mail to camp on the final day. As a special welcome, you’ll be formally inducted into the Double H Bar Ranch Family and receive a memorable “Cowboy Send Off.”
The culinary experience is equally impressive. Savor delicious meals prepared in Dutch ovens over an open fire. Our chuck wagon is always ready to serve hearty fare, including roast beef, barbecued chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, and fruit. The outdoor cooking is second to none, and the aroma of coffee and sizzling bacon in the morning is the perfect start to another remarkable day.
