"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." Albert Einstein
West of Imagination
What lies at the western edge of your imagination? Cowboys, Indians, rodeos, and open range? Wilderness, wolves, sagebrush, and solitude? The real West is big enough to hold all of that and a lot more—like the world's largest T-rex skull, a mud volcano, and renowned art, culture, and natural history museums.
Discover the many different places and faces of the American West when you travel with imagination, with style, with Off the Beaten Path. We offer a number of active and engaging Guided Group Journeys in the Northern Rockies, and can fuel and feed your imagination on guided journeys to the American Southwest as well. (And don't forget that you can always let your imagination run truly wild on a fully tailored Private Custom Journey.)
Pristine Nature to Pure Country
These two OBP small group adventures are very different, yet both serve up classic western experiences. One comes with roadside geology, one comes with rodeo—and both roads lead to Yellowstone.
Wild Western Adventure: Cowboys, Indians, and Yellowstone National Park
This is a great family adventure, with lots to see and do, and tons of fun around every turn in the trail. You'll ride horses in the hills, catch some team roping and saddle bronc riding at the Cody Rodeo, navigate whitewater in a raft or inflatable kayak, hike the high alpine Beartooth Plateau, and watch for free-roaming bison, elk, antelope, wolves, and bears in our nation's first national park, Yellowstone. Your guides excel at keeping kids entertained and adults interested. (2008 departures 6/30, 7/14, 8/10, 8/31) Find out more >
Essence of Yellowstone and Grand Teton:
Discovering the high heart of the Northern Rockies
If you feel the need to connect to nature at its majestic best, plug into this journey for a full recharge. Your knowledgeable guides will literally walk you, step by lively step, through the best stories of these two iconic national parks: wildfires and renewal, tectonic forces and super volcanoes, mountain men and presidents, and the intricate relationship between predator, prey, and scavenger. On your roundabout you'll spot wildlife, ramble afoot through spouting, hissing, bubbling geyser basins, raft the Snake River, and paddle a kayak in the largest high-elevation lake in North America.
