Highlights

Activity Level: Moderate Hiking

The hikes that we have planned for this trip are rated as moderate and all are 5-6 miles in length. To prepare for these hikes, you will want to be in good hiking shape(30 min/mile on average). We will not be rushed and have the ability to stop for breaks or take a slow pace, but we want to make sure everyone is at a similar level so we can stay close together during the hike. The best way to train for the hikes in store would be to go for walks of equal distance and try to train for elevation gain if possible (hiking uphill or using a stair climber at a gym are a couple of ways). Comfortable hiking boots/shoes and a reliable daypack to carry water and snacks are a priority.

Weather

The weather in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton area in July can range from the 70s-90s during the day and cool to the 50s at night. Watch the weather to determine what type of clothing to pack.

Money & Tipping

All the excursions listed in the itinerary are included. Bring cash/credit cards for purchasing souvenirs, additional snacks/meals, alcoholic drinks, extra activities, and other items.All gratuities are included with the exception of those for your Chicas Abroad tour leader. Tipping the Chicas Abroad tour leader is optional and not included in the price of your adventure.

Packing List

A custom packing list will be emailed out a few months prior to departure.

After a hearty breakfast to fuel up for the adventure ahead, we’ll head straight to the Lamar Valley, one of the park’s most spectacular and wildlife-rich areas. This is prime territory for spotting wolves, bison, elk, and more, and because it’s far less crowded than other parts of the park, you’ll feel like you have this pristine wilderness all to yourself.

After our invigorating hike, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch, taking in the scenery and reflecting on the unforgettable sights.

Day 3 - Yellowstone NP

July 26 – More Hiking & Exploring of Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park covers more than 2 million acres and today we will spend another full day hiking and exploring as there is so much to see and a lot of acreage to cover. This will be another day to view the abundance of wildlife and it’s highly likely we’ll get a glimpse of a bear, possibly a grizzly. We will be packing up and checking out of our Yellowstone cabins and with breakfast onboard we will head out early to beat the heat and the crowds.

Since it is pretty warm this time of year, we will start out with a hike before we explore more of what Yellowstone has to offer. Like any hike in Yellowstone, this is a prime spot for wildlife viewing, including bison and wolves, and has minimal elevation gain. Following our hike we will explore more of the famous sites of Yellowstone National Park, including the Norris Geyser Basin, the Grand Prismatic and of course Old Faithful. We’ll enjoy a beautiful lunch with prime viewing of the Old Faithful eruption.

After a full day in the park, we’ll check into our new lodging and enjoy a relaxing evening at the south end of Yellowstone.

Today’s adventure takes us from the wild beauty of Yellowstone to the jaw-dropping landscapes of Grand Teton National Park!

As we head south into the park, we’ll make our way to the stunning Coulter Bay area, surrounded by towering peaks, crystal-clear waters, and abundant wildlife.

With so many incredible hiking options, we’ll choose a trail that gives us the best views of the iconic Tetons while also offering prime wildlife sightings. Keep your eyes peeled for moose, elk, and maybe even a bear as we hike through this wild paradise.

After our hike, we’ll spend the rest of the day exploring the serene Coulter Bay area, where you can take in the beauty of the park at your own pace. We’ll enjoy a picturesque picnic lunch with breathtaking views, and for those who want to cool off, Jackson Lake offers the perfect spot for a refreshing swim in its pristine waters.

Day 5 - Goodbye Parks

July 28 – Final Day in Yellowstone NP & Departure from Bozeman, MT

As we near the end of our grand adventure, we’ll check out of our lodge after a hearty breakfast, but don’t worry—the fun isn’t over just yet! We’re making the most of our last day as we head north around the stunning Yellowstone Lake toward the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. With its breathtaking views and dramatic landscapes, this will be a highlight you’ll carry with you long after the trip ends. Prepare to capture these unforgettable moments—the sights are so mesmerizing, they’ll become permanent treasures in your photo collection.

As we explore the final corners of Yellowstone, we’ll make our way out of the park’s west entrance, stopping in West Yellowstone for some last-minute souvenir shopping. And if time allows, we’ll make a sweet pit stop in Big Sky for some refreshing ice cream—because what better way to wrap up an epic adventure?

Throughout this journey, you’ve not only experienced the awe-inspiring landscapes of Yellowstone and Grand Teton but also forged lasting friendships with the incredible women who shared it all with you. Whether it was the exhilarating hikes, the wildlife sightings, or the shared laughter around the dinner table, these memories and bonds will stay with you long after the park gates close.

We’ll return to Bozeman between 1pm and 2pm, giving you plenty of time to catch afternoon flights – book your flight for 3:00pm or after. If you’re extending your stay and want to soak in a little more of this beautiful region, we’d be happy to help with accommodations. Either way, you’ll leave with a heart full of adventure, new friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Reviews

What a fabulous trip to Greece and the islands of Santorini and Mykonos! This is my second trip with Chicas Abroad and both trips have been stellar. Last year I hiked the Camino De Santiago trail with the Chicas and had a blast. The hotels are top of the line. You won’t be disappointed. I love that everything is arranged for you and all you have to do is enjoy! No stress on vacation as Melanie and her trip leaders take care of everything. The activities and tours are carefully chosen and all have been fabulous. And you get to make new friends with your fellow travelers. If you are looking for a tour company that is top of the line, check out ChicasAbroad.com for all of their fabulous trips! I am already looking forward to my next trip with the Chicas!

Just returned from 8 days in Greece with Chicas Abroad! What an amazing trip. From Athens to Santorini to Mykonos back to Athens. From the time I landed until the time I left I didn’t have to think about a thing. Everything was thoughtfully planned, including free time to explore and to see all of the relevant sights. It was a dream vacation. I have met wonderful ladies from all across the country, whom I will remain friends with for years to come. Melanie and Kathy were the most excellent Chicas guides! I loved every single minute. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

I traveled to Greece with 2 friends from my hometown and we had a wonderful time. However, the Chicas Abroad leaders, Melanie and Kathy had all the details planned extremely well and everyone was so nice that I would not hesitate to take another Chicas’ trip on my own. What a confidence booster! It was a super experience all the way around. Great job ladies!

This was my first trip with the Chicas. It will not be my last! The accommodations were top notch. The activity level was very active, we truly had great adventure. I learned so much thru the people I met. There was a real sence of belonging. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun as well. I started out with strangers but gained a new group of strong friends with these ladies. It was an unforgettable experience.

This trip felt “intimate” and very cultural. I enjoyed meeting meeting the food artisans in their shops (pasta, chocolate, dairy). The chefs and owners of several restaurants came to our table to welcome us, and will always remember dinner at Monica’s family home.

We could not have had the experience we had without your assistance. From the driver who picked us up from the airport to the driver of the 55 passenger bus the drivers were amazing. Having a guide for every excursion/tour was a must. Our tickets were ready, no lines to wait in, and having a knowledgeable guide was so appreciated!!! We were able to see everything we hoped to. Our time in Grimaldi was so special…we didn’t know what to expect. The people of Grimaldi were so kind and made us feel very welcomed. A trip of a lifetime that we were able to experience as a family🇮🇹❤️

My niece and I went on this trip together and the memories and experiences we gained are something I will always cherish. The trip was perfectly planned, the group was full of kind and fun women, and the itinerary was challenging while also safe and enjoyable. I will definitely be checking back in to book a future Chicas Abroad trip!
