Venture beyond the tourist crowds into America's first national park's pristine wilderness, where grizzlies, wolves, and bison roam freely. Multi-day treks through the Thorofare or Bechler regions offer complete solitude and some of the continent's most untouched landscapes, but require serious backcountry skills.

“My time in the Yellowstone backcountry was awesome! There were days of complete isolation - just me, the critters, and the stars. The people I did meet along the way were pleasant companions for a couple of hours before going our separate ways. And the sunset over Yellowstone Lake was mesmerizing.”
