Bitterroot Bonanza

For the first time ever, North Idaho’s world class Rails-to-Trails system is linked into a superb itinerary that combines a bike tour with rafting and kayaking. Some departures will be camping trips, while others stay at local hotels and dine out. The trip starts in Spokane, Washington with a bike ride on the Washington/Idaho Centennial Trail along the Spokane River. From there, head to the resort town of Coeur d'Alene, on Lake Coeur d'Alene with time to play in the lake. The next day enjoy a half-day kayak trip and then bicycle tour of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, one of the jewels of the National Rails-to-Trails system. Trade pedals for paddles and raft the scenic and tumbling Clark Fork River, one of the region's most popular whitewater river trips suitable for rafters of all ages! Then a spectacular day on the historical Hiawatha Trail, where you will bike through tunnels and across dramatic trestles spanning canyons of the Bitterroot Mountains on the Idaho/Montana border. The trail is not far from the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, one of the largest protected areas in the United States. At the end return to Spokane where your adventure began.

Bitterroot Bonanza is featured as one of National Geographic Adventure's "25 Best New Trips" of 2010!

Alaska - Bear Camp

Few locations in Alaska can match the grandeur of our private wilderness fly-in camp in Lake Clark National Park's critical bear habitat. Your bush plane will fly by glaciered volcanoes, and land you on the beach at the edge of an Alaskan Savannah. In the early spring you will watch the bear emerge from dens as they feed on the succulent grass. As the season passes, and the fish return, you will witness them fishing in the stream under our viewing private platform. The camp, named Best Bush Camp by Outside Magazine is fully staffed and very comfortable for one day or overnight visits. The Bear Camp is included in many of the Great Alaska Safaris and fishing trips.

Montana/Yellowstone Family - Cowboys, Canyons & Campfires

For us, Montana is home. For adventurers, it's paradise.

Welcome to Montana, a place we hold near and dear to our hearts. We're excited to share with you our insider's perspective on this 6-day adventure in Big Sky, Yellowstone Park & Paradise Valley.

Hike with homegrown guides to secluded backcountry vistas and watch as a spectrum of geologic zones unfold - from the snow-capped peaks and river-carved canyon walls of Gallatin Valley, to the geyser-peppered caldera of Yellowstone, to the high pine forests of Paradise Valley. Bike pastoral country roads and along the same pristine waters Brad Pitt fly fished in A River Runs Through It. Paddle raft class II and III rapids through canyons and farmlands, ride horseback into the mountains with a 4th generation Montana cowboy and pause as a shaggy, 2,000-pound bison saunters across the road on a drive through the Hayden Valley. When night falls, relax and recharge with Big Sky Country's tastiest cuisine and a soak in a soothing hot spring.
