Posted on 03/17/2026
Victoria Falls, also known by its indigenous name “Mosi-oa-Tunya” (The Smoke That Thunders), is one of the highest-volume waterfalls on the planet.
Overview
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks together hold an embarrassment of riches. Grand Teton is home to the Teton Range which rises straight up from the valley floor, soaring to jagged peaks that reach over 13,000 feet. Below you’ll find pristine alpine lakes, some of the most beautiful wildflower displays anywhere, and abundant wildlife. Iconic Yellowstone excites the senses with thundering waterfalls, rambling rivers, and fascinating geothermal features, while boasting prolific wildlife across the landscape – inciting the nickname, “The American Serengeti” of a specific region of the park.
The town of Jackson, Wyoming is the basecamp for the bulk of this trip, with time in both the charming downtown and the heart of Grand Teton National Park. Natural beauty beckons you to hike trails, float the Snake River, picnic beside lakes, ride horses, mountain bike, swim, and paddle – all while being on the lookout for wildlife.
Yellowstone is fascinating for all ages, with its never-a-dull-moment bubbling mudpots, erupting geysers, steaming fumaroles, and wildlife galore. On the trail, your naturalist guide will help to immerse you into the park’s mysteries, history, geothermal activity, and fascinating ecology. On the water, you’ll explore geothermal features both on the shore and underwater.
With perfectly located accommodations every night and natural grandeur around every bend, this memorable custom road trip through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks will take your breath away.
