My husband and I went on this trip to celebrate my birthday in July. If you want to detach from life’s stress, this is the way. It’s 4 days and 3 nights free from cell phones and modern conveniences. The food was amazing…three delicious meals a day cooked over an open fire by the best cowgirl cooks. Your tents are equipped with memory foam mattresses and thick and heavy sleeping bags. Days are filled with trail rides and/or covered wagon rides, and activities at each camp (axe/ knife throwing, canoeing, hiking). At night you enjoyed stories, singing, and poetry around the campfires. Cant say enough about the cowboy crew and Jeff (owner and Wagon Master). They were amazing! They were kind, patient, authentic and it was very obvious they love their work.
We highly recommend this trip BUT expect to use a port-a-potty, have dirty nails, and not shower or bathe for 4 days! If you can do these things, you will have the time of your life.

This was one of the best vacations of our life and I've been to 50 states and 9 other countries. Take thick sweats to sleep in and wool socks as it gets cold at night and don't forget plenty of bug spray for the mosquitoes - (the only downfalls). The scenery is majestic, the food perfect and they will cater to diet restrictions. The Crew and Wagon master are the best you'll ever find. Great times around the camp fire singing and telling stories. Jeff was the best! The horses are wonderful and many trail rides ahead for you. The cowboy coaster ride was great fun in the wagon. Learn to throw a tomahawk, rope and shoot; so much fun to escape life and play like a cowboy for a few days-highly recommend this trip, my husband wanted to go back the day after we left. Totally worth the price you will pay!!! What a Blessing!!!

This trip was a fantastic experience. You truly do start off with strangers on a bus and end up with close friends and family. Jeff and his family were welcoming and all the workers were very helpful in setting up tents and making sure we all had a good time. There’s plenty of opportunity for horse back riding and riding in a wagon. The views were beautiful. We had one day of hard rain but nobody complained and we had access to ponchos and stayed dry. I think everyone was sad when the trip ended. I would recommend this to anyone who is comfortable around horses and camping. It was a fun trip and thank you to Jeff for making it memorable!

The trip was awesome! From the first day I called and spoke with Cindy all the way to the last day of the trip it was a great experience. Jeff ( the wagon master) was excellent in everyway but most amazing in his ability to fit the horse to the rider's experience level. This is truly "roughing it" so be ready. The crew will help you anyway possible but mother nature can not be controlled. The one thing I would add to their list of what to bring is a Thremacell. Go, relax, unplug,(your phone will have no service anyway),make new friends, eat great food cooked over an open fire.

Great time. Plan on bring my son with next time. The whole crew was great. Plenty of horse back riding and story telling by the campfire. Made some new friends along the way. Would recommend for anybody who loves to camp. Especially off the grid camping and horse lovers. I would consider doing the bar t 5 covered wagon cook out as well. Ran by the same family and a great time as well. The wagon masters favorite saying is "strangers get off the bus at the beginning of the week and family gets back on the bus at the end of the week. And they truly do make you feel like family.

A trip of a lifetime shared among five family members. Jeff and Cindy and the Teton Wagon Train & Horse Adventure Cowboy Wrangler Team were first class in every aspect of this trip. WOW! The experience touched our hearts and our souls. The natural beauty and wonder of the areas we camped and rode horses are spectacular! The whole trip is well organized from start to finish. The Wrangler Team is incredible and authentic making the experience a family community experience. Plan it and GO! You won't regret it.

You start with a handshake and end with a hug!
I booked this as a solo traveler. I ended my trip with a family of dozens. Right out the gate the crew makes everyone feel comfortable. You greet them all and get names (yikes trying to remember at first). The excitement in the air is felt by everyone. After a nice lunch (trust me you’ll be eating good!) it time to head out and your adventure has fully started. The people around you become friends and then family. There’s no service, your space is a tent (and in our week -wk 10 of 2024- it rained the first two days). You sit and enjoy each others company. You tell stories and laugh. It’s like a community. The crew works tirelessly to make sure you’re well fed, entertained and looked after. The joy of sitting around a campfire, hearing children playing chase with Red (the dog) and catching frogs, smelling dinner cooking over a fire it’s very relaxing. Kids learned to whittle, adults to start fires and cook over a camp stove, tend to the horse, setting up tents (and again in our case tarps to hopefully keep out some rain). I watched dinner service and the guests all went first, followed by the youngest crew members (children of the crew, who still worked as hard as adult crew), then the women of the crew followed by the men and finally the trail boss. Every meal just like that. The respect for each other was immense. Everyone had a job and every job was important, no one job could function with out the other. If you’re looking for a way to get back to nature, a way to connect, a way to unplug I’d highly recommend this journey.
And like I started with at the end the crew lined up for a final good bye and instead of handshakes it was hugs (and a lot of tears).

My kids begged to come back for a second year, and we didn't regret it! This family operation is a time-honored, well-honed experience that is unforgettable. My teenagers rode horses at every chance and there was always something fun to do. The sleeping bags and mats are comfortable and the food is delicious. Best advise: pack no more than what the list suggests and long sleeves protect from sun and mosquitos. Regardless of your comfort zone with the outdoors, this is an adventure you won't forget!

This has been our best vacation yet! From Jeff's leadership to the crew - we felt like part of the family. Daily horseback riding, amazing views, stars like you have never seen, story telling, singing, entertainment, great food, and the company made this an unforgettable experience. A year later we still talk about this trip! My son (who was 9 at the time) LOVED every minute of it - he rated this trip above Disney World. His ability to play, hike, ride horses, help with chores and learn about the area made a lasting impact - he will be back in 10 years to work if Jeff will have him!

Our family (children ages 10 and 11) loved this experience. We will talk about this for the rest of our lives. There are so many things that make it so great... 1. No electronics (electricity or running water for that matter!) so the fun was 'natural'. 2. Our normal comfort levels were challenged. We had limited camping experiences in our family before this trip. 3. The people you meet on the trip are amazing. We left as friends for sure. 4. Jeff and his crew provide such an amazing culture. From the campfire stories to horseback riding, his crew was there to make it a great day for us all! 5. The food was great! Kudos to the cowboy cooks!
I highly recommend this adventure!

Hello, As vacationing adults, are we able to bring alcohol on the wagon train Tetons trip?
Written July 5, 2021
No, alcohol is not permitted on the trip. But Jackson Hole has some great places to grab local beer before and after the trip!

What is your experience with older teens doing the trip and how do they react to being disconnected? Do you have any reviews from families who took a teen? Also if there are three of us, does one person sleep in a tent by themselves? Thank you Laura
Written January 17, 2021
We had teens on our trip last year (not mine - another family!). I was impressed how quickly they settled in to camp life and all of the activities there were, especially with other kids/new friends they made on the trip. No one, including adults have access to phones so it wasn't like they were left out. They were just as active as everyone else was on the trip and had a great time.

There is no shower.
Everyone washes hands and face at the wash basin. Some folks have done more:
*take a basin of water into their tent at night with their washcloth and take a sponge bath (tents cannot be seen through)
*take a dip in Loon Lake (the second campsite) with or without soap
*bring baby wipes
Most people just don't worry about it. In 7 trips here I've not seen anyone particularly dirty.
For that matter, my daughter was surprised her hair looked better after a couple days away from her shampoo and conditioner.

If there is no electricity on this 4 day trip, how do you charge your cell phone so that we can be in contact with home in case of emergencies. If we do this trip, we will have people at home caring for our horses and dogs and need to be available by phone.
Written May 13, 2018
Hello Charlie, I think you have three questions: electricity, cell service, and returning home quickly.
1) Electricity
Bring a battery or two to charge your phone. One trip someone brought a solar panel to charge their CPAP battery, worked fine.
2) Cell Service
This is the great outdoors, essentially off the grid. No cell service is one of the best things about it, a selling point! Think about an old fashioned wagon train on the prairie.
That said, there are a few (very few) specific locations along the route with weak cell service. It may be voice only with little or no data service.
3) Returning Home Quickly
I can understand why you might not want to go on vacation when you have people or animals at the end of their life with fragile he4alth.
If their caretakers did reach you in the middle of the trip asking you to return home for a final good bye, it would take from 3 to 6 hours just to reach the Jackson Hole airport by road, not practical.
Of course, if they aren't so very fragile, hiring a qualified caretaker is probably better than a cell phone to put your mind at ease.

Dumb question, but I'm being optimistic. What's the "going to the bathroom situation" on this trip? :)
Written November 22, 2015
There is a permanent, set-in-concrete outhouse at each camp site with an inside door lock. Cans of air freshener and TP are provided. :) The smell is not that bad, and not noticeable outside the outhouse.

how far into the Teton's does this adventure go? do we get to hike? and is it only a day in the Tetons?
Written June 10, 2015
The trip is 3 nights and 4 days, you will start on one side of the Tetons and finish on the other, though there is no rock climbing and you aren't ever on the jagged rock cliffs. You are in the Tetons for the entire duration. There is ample opportunity for hiking, horseback riding, or riding in the covered wagons. It can be as strenuous or as relaxing as you want to make it.
