Backpacking in the American West
Founded by Howie Wolke in 1978, Big Wild Adventures offers fully outfitted guided backpacking in the wilderness of the American West and Alaska. You will be hiking and camping in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Wyoming and Montana, including Yellowstone National Park. Our hiking trips also explore the colorful canyons, deserts and highlands of Arizona, New Mexico, California and southern Utah, including the incomparable Escalante and Grand Canyons.

Yellowstone
We don't just live next to Yellowstone National Park, we know the wonders of its expansive backcountry better than anyone! Though most tourists never venture far from their automobiles, our Yellowstone trips are in true wilderness. In fact, because much of the park is bordered by large protected national forest Wilderness Areas, Yellowstone's backcountry includes some of our country's most remote wildlands south of Alaska. And Yellowstone landscapes are so varied that each trip is radically different, a truly unique wild adventure. Join us on one of our guide/naturalist-led adventures into the wilds of the world's first national park.
