| Description |
The Wyoming Range is one of the least traveled mountain ranges in Wyoming, simply because word has never gotten out about how magnificent it is. Providing the ability to see more animals than people, this trip offers an opportunity to step back into the Wild West for 5 full days of backcountry exploration. We venture off-trail onto the flanks of Hoback Peak, a towering Wyoming summit with spectacular views. |
All aboard! Cruise from Miami to the beautiful Bahamas for a slice of paradise. Enjoy an abundance of onboard entertainment and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches on this 3-day adventure. |
Day 1
Shuttle to Trailhead: 1.5 hours
Hiking Mileage: 4 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
This Jackson Hole backpacking trip begins at a remote trailhead in a wild corner of Wyoming approximately 90 minutes from Jackson Hole. We will have a relatively relaxed day one as we hike 4 miles up a pristine valley, set up camp and prepare for a peak climb tomorrow. Time permitting we may hike up to a pass for a view, go search for animals, or simply relax and enjoy sitting around a fire at camp near stunning Roosevelt meadows.
Day 2
Hiking Mileage: 10 miles
Elevation Gain: 2450 feet
Elevation Loss: 2450 feet
We will leave camp set up today, which gives us an opportunity to climb as far up Hoback peak as weather and fitness permits. This will take us past a valley named Bare Hole, which although this is very rugged terrain, is not quite like it sounds as a "hole" is a local reference to a valley floor. We'll actually be traversing a stunning alpine valley with mountain views in all directions. We have the chance to enjoy lunch on a high ridge and look for animals or to go for the summit attempt if the group is up for it.
Day 3
Hiking Mileage: 5 miles
Elevation Gain: 950 feet
Day 3 starts with a big backcountry breakfast before we break camp and begin our day's hike. Today we head onto a seldom-travelled trail and leave the few people that ever travel into the Wyoming Range behind. Climbing high onto Cliff Creek Pass we will hike through high mountain meadows with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain ranges, including the crumbling Gros Ventre's, the towering granite spires and glaciers of the Wind Rivers, and even an occasional glimpse of the Tetons from a perspective very few people ever experience.
Day 4
Hiking Mileage: 4 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
Elevation Loss: 750 feet
We venture on to trails that see little use today, passing Horse Haven Meadows, and have the chance to head up to several mountain passes and enjoy the views in the neighboring peaks of the Wyoming range including the Grayback Ridge and Clause Peak. We end our day in an amazing meadow above Cliff Creek Falls, a stunning double waterfall that totals over 200 feet in height.
Tonight is a celebratory dinner as it's our last night in the wilderness. We'll soak up the peace and quiet of the Wyoming Range, views of the brilliant star-filled sky, the sounds of Cliff Creek and the falls, and conversation with our trail companions before turning in for one last good night's sleep.
Day 5
Hiking Mileage: 7 miles
Elevation Loss: 600 feet
Shuttle to Jackson Hole: 1.5 hours
After pack up one more time, our last day's trek begins as we hike down beautiful Cliff Creek. Our hike is consumed by views of the creek as it twists down a valley laden with pristine forests and wildflowers. We will hike past towering cliffs (the namesakes of Cliff Creek), whose rock ranges from bright reds to tan, and we may see the occasional snow patch still clinging to the hillsides. We'll eventually reach our ending trailhead and nostalgically say goodbye to these amazing mountains before shuttling back to Jackson Hole for much deserved showers and hotel rooms.
