You can ride the wagon or jump in the saddle of a gentle riding horse. Sleeping is also in the covered wagon or you can choose a tent or out under the stars. You will eat chuckwagon style meals cooked over an open fire using dutch ovens.
If you enjoy horseback riding there are special guided trail rides during the trip. The covered wagon trek takes place in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Mount Leidy Highlands along along unused roads.
The goal is to assist you in achieving the best possible nature photography images. At the same time you will be kayaking, hiking and camping in some of the most beautiful areas of the country such as the Wild and Scenic Tuolumne River in California, Bearpaw and Leigh Lakes in Yellowstone National Park or the protected wilderness of the Main Salmon in Idaho.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to both work with and learn from a successful professional photographer and also challenge your outdoor adventure skills.
Most of the treks go into the high country like you find in North Cascades National Park or Olympic National Park. The sure-footed llamas are right at home here and you will be too. They take you up into the high country of the North Cascades National Park, the Northeastern Cascade Pasayten Wilderness, and Olympic National Park.
