The Perfect Introduction to Mountain Biking
Grand Teton and Island Park is the perfect introduction to mountain biking. On this trip, we will be riding through the lush meadows and valleys of Island Park, just west of Grand Teton National Park. Our route takes us on historic railroad grades and forest service roads, winding through the backcountry along many beautiful streams and rivers.
There is very little elevation change, so the climbing and descending are quite manageable for first-timers. In addition to biking, there are lots of opportunities for fly fishing, hiking, and swimming along the way. And did we mention the wildlife? On our first day, we will be riding in Harriman State Park, a beautiful wildlife reserve home to moose, elk, osprey, eagles, and trumpeter swans. From there, we work our way toward the Grand Tetons looming in the distance, with the opportunity to take a boat ride across Jenny Lake for a spectacular hike to Inspiration Point or Hidden Falls.
Why Families Love This Trip
- Hassle-Free Beginner Terrain: Flat railroad grades and smooth dirt roads mean kids and beginners can focus on the scenery, not their gears.
- Wildlife at Every Turn: Ride through a premier wildlife refuge home to trumpeter swans and North America's largest moose population.
- Snake River Float: Trade the bikes for a boat on a world-famous scenic float—the best way to spot Bald Eagles.
- Teton Grandeur: End the trip at Jenny Lake with options to hike to Inspiration Point or take a boat across the water.

BIKE TRIP TESTIMONIALS
“Normally I do self supported but having someone else make excellent food makes me want to do it again”
Your guides are your ambassadors, they are fun, energetic and very knowledgeable. I would not do anything different.
The food was fantastic! I didn’t expect such meals. The guides were so friendly, helpful, and entertaining. They really worked well together. Also, they made sure that everyone in their various skill levels enjoyed the rides and that there was enough for everyone.
