Jackson Hole, Wyoming
A summer mountain trip paced around a clear day-by-day itinerary: Alpine House in Jackson, a Grand Teton wildlife morning, choose-your-own trail or river time, Turpin Meadow Ranch, a Yellowstone day, horseback riding in the Buffalo Valley, and an easy departure morning.
This itinerary keeps the days full without making them frantic. Each day has one clear anchor, with flexible time around it for included breakfasts, downtime between outings, shared dinners, and the kind of conversations that usually happen when nobody is rushing to the next thing.
Day 1
Once everyone has arrived and checked in at Alpine House, we gather for an early welcome dinner at Glorietta Trattoria before the first long evening of Wyoming daylight settles over town.

Day 2
An early breakfast at Alpine House, then out with a local guide for a sunrise wildlife drive through Grand Teton National Park — moose in the willow flats, bison on Antelope Flats, bears if the season cooperates. The group returns to Jackson for an open afternoon in town before an easy group dinner.

Day 3
The day starts with breakfast, then splits into a flexible midmorning choice: a scenic float down the Snake River or a guided hike to Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Lunch follows on the river or at the trailhead, depending on the choice, before returning to Alpine House for downtime and an easy dinner-on-your-own evening.

Day 4
After breakfast at Alpine House, the morning leaves room for downtime before checkout and the transfer north to Turpin Meadow Ranch. Lunch follows at Trails End, then the afternoon opens into a guided horseback ride or fly-fishing outing on the Buffalo Fork before dinner and the first quiet night at the ranch.

Day 5
The final day is an advanced hike into the stunning southern Tetons. We'll conquer a 2,000′ elevation gain over three miles to reach a scenic divide at 9,197′, where amazing views of the Grand Teton and the surrounding wilderness open up. From there we continue uphill to 10,000′ and, if weather and time permit, scramble over rocks (and possibly snow) to the summit at 10,352′. We will return to Turpin Meadow Ranch for some downtime, dinner, and one last night tucked into the valley.

Day 6
The trip closes with breakfast, downtime, and check-out. The group then transfers back to Jackson Hole Airport, timed for arrival around midday so travelers can make their way home after the final morning together.
