This trip has an activity level range of 1-3
We primarily hike on alpine trails, hard-packed dirt paths through forests and meadows and paved walkways and boardwalks, especially near geothermal features. Most hikes take place at 6,000 to 7,000 feet, which can make routes feel more challenging than the mileage suggests.
Kid-friendly routes are shorter with minimal elevation gain, and alternate kids’ activities are available on days with longer hikes. Backroads is an authorized permittee of the National Park Service.
