Is this Adventure Considered Strenuous?

While this adventure is not considered strenuous, the adventure takes place at altitudes of approximately 6,300 feet to 9,500 feet. This adventure includes whitewater rafting (Classes I-III), horseback riding, and a hike in the Tetons National Park that consists of a steady uphill ascent with an approximate 500' elevation gain (and loss on the descent) on a surface of packed dirt with occasional loose stones and exposed tree roots. One may choose a shorter option on the same trail. Guests should feel comfortable spending time exploring the outdoors. While nearly all of the trip's featured activities are gentle if examined separately, the full range of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in order to get the most of your vacation.

If there is a particular activity you do not wish to participate in, an optional activity is generally (but not always) provided. For instance, on the Southwest Splendors Adventure, those who did not wish to hike to Delicate Arch had a bus tour of Arches National Park.

Tour Arrive and Departure Times:

Arrival: Adventures by Disney will pick us up from Jackson Hole Airport (JAC). Your flight should arrive no later than 4:00 p.m.

On the 2007 Southwest Adventure, we waited at the airport for everyone in our tour group to arrive and then we all got on the bus and began our trip. On departure day, the entire group was dropped off at the airport via our Adventure bus.

Departure: On the final day of the itinerary, Adventures by Disney will transfer you to Jackson Hole Airport (JAC). Your flight should leave no earlier than 11:00 a.m.
