Teton Wagon Train & Horse Adventure, Jackson, WY

The Double H Bar Ranch features a unique adventure for visitors to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They can join the Teton Wagon Train & Horse Adventure. Visitors will travel in specially made replicas of Conestoga wagons for four days and three nights. The area is between Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park in the Targhee National Forest. The covered wagons take out in a line just as the covered wagons of the old west used to do.

If visitors would rather ride, gentle horses are available. These visitors can ride from camp to camp or take trail rides to waterfalls or other viewing areas. Both the cowboys and wagon master are expert horsemen and guides.

Visitors won't be punished as passengers in the old west were because the new Conestoga wagons have rubber tires and padded sets. This makes the four day trek much more comfortable. Guests on the wagon train will get a chance to view moose, elk, deer and other wildlife in their native habitat. There are lakes by the camps where visitors will be treated to the sound of loons or Trumpeter Swans.

Guests will get to see beautiful views of the Teton Mountain Range as well as be in close proximity to Yellowstone National Park, two wilderness areas and Grand Teton National Park. This camping trip includes trekking through the "Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone''.

Activities that the guests of the wagon train get to experience include hiking, swimming, trail rides on horseback, and learning how to handle a rope, go canoeing, or relaxing at the camp sites. The entertainment at night can be spent singing with the cowboys around the campfire, listening to stories of the old west or enjoying the night stars. Guests on the Teton Wagon Train & Horse Adventure have also been able to see the Northern Lights.

The wagon train can also expect visits from Mountain Men and Native American Indians. The last day of the wagon trip a Pony Express Rider will come into camp to deliver mail. Guests of the wagon train are inducted into the Double H Bar Ranch and given a great "Cowboy Send Off''.

Meals are cooked in Dutch Ovens over an open fire. The Conestoga Chuckwagon follows along and is always stocked. The meals consist of roast beef, ham, BBQ chicken, cowboy potatoes, vegetables, salads, fruit and many other delicious food items. The people on the wagon train adventure will never go hungry as the Chuckwagon cooks prepare plenty. In the morning guests are awakened to the aroma of coffee and bacon cooking on the open fire.
