Wyoming Backpacking

Backpacking in Wyoming is all about the high country. High peaks, high lakes and basins, high plateaus and high meadows and forests provide big vistas under impossibly blue skies. Wyoming backpacking with Big Wild Adventures also means you’ll be hiking through some of the best remaining wildlife habitats on Earth, teeming with wild creatures, deep in the wilds of the incomparable Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We explore the staggering alpine terrain of the Grand Teton, Wind River, Absaroka and Gros Ventre Mountain Ranges, while our Yellowstone Backpacking trips include an unbelievable variety of beautiful landscapes deep in the backcountry of the world’s first national park!

Big Wild Adventures is all about getting you deep into wild remote country, where few others visit. Our owners and guides are some of the most experienced wilderness people anywhere! And most of our Wyoming backpacking adventures are based out of Jackson Hole, where there are lots of pre-and post-trek outdoor recreation opportunities.

Please note that sometimes trips fill, and we take reservations on a first-come, first-served basis. So don’t miss out! To reserve a space (or to arrange a Custom of Family Trip), call 406-848-7000. We can’t wait to explore the wilds with you!
