WEDNESDAY: Our big day in Yellowstone National Park. We'll van from the ranch over the Continental Divide through Grand Teton National Park via Jackson Lake to the South entrance of Yellowstone where we'll saddle up in our comfy snowcoach and ready ourselves for a long trip to view the exciting and incomprehensible natural phenomenon of geysers, glory pools, buffalo, elk, Old Faithful and waterfalls. It will take all day but we will visit the historical Old Faithful Snowlodge for lunch and then return to the Triangle C for dinner.

THURSDAY: It's our Wild West day with an exciting horseback ride in the Wind River Mountains. They are incredible with their high mountain lakes, magnificent vistas, virgin forests, and pristine wilderness. We'll visit the old Crowheart Store that lies in the shadow of Crowheart Butte on the Wind River Reservation. We'll take along a scrumptious picnic and enjoy a swim in the ancient Hot Springs at the Arapaho site in Ethete. We'll tour back to Fort Washakie, headquarters of the Shoshone Arapaho tribe and visit the grave site of Sacajawea.

FRIDAY: ** Beautiful Brooks Lakes Lodge with its awe inspiring view of the Pinnacles and lying on the shores of the prehistoric Brook's lake, is the destination of our half-day cross-country ski trip. We have lunch in the historic, game trophy lodge at Brooks Lake Lodge and return along the Continental Divide for an afternoon of Dog-sledding in the Absaroka Range. Be your own Musher, if you like, or ride along the 350 miles of Continental Divide Trail under a sparkling mantle of snow through the dramatic topography that lends itself to a variety of exciting runs on forested trail and frozen flats high atop the Divide.

SATURDAY: Bright and early on this crisp, cold morning we mount our snowmobiles again for the Top of the World to Lava Mountain where there is an unbelievable 360 degrees view of the Wind River Mountains, Gros Ventre Range, the Tetons and Absaroka Mountains. We'll visit the wildlife feed grounds which feeds part of the largest wintering herd of elk in North America.
