The Best Outdoor Pursuits

Enjoying the Yellowstone Backcountry: Outfitters from ranches around Yellowstone National Park will take you into the deep wilderness that surrounds the busy attractions at the park's center, and there you'll get a flavor of the wild as rich as the Rockies can offer. If you have experience, you can go on your own -- paddling Yellowstone Lake, backpacking along Slough Creek, or telemark skiing the powder around Shoshone Lake.
