2-Day Private Grand Teton Adventure

Join us at Rendezvous River Sports at 6:30 PM. Meet your guides and fellow adventurers, review the itinerary, receive dry bags for packing, get fitted to your kayak (single or tandem), and build excitement over refreshments.

Morning Departure - Meet at our shop at 8:00 AM, then shuttle to Signal Mountain on Jackson Lake (or meet us there if you prefer).

Paddling Instruction & Safety Briefing - Thorough review of kayaking techniques, paddle strokes, safety procedures, and practice before launching. Your guides coach proper posture, efficient technique, and comfortable boat adjustments.

Scenic Paddle to Camp - Navigate 3 -10.5 miles across spectacular Jackson Lake waters with the Tetons towering directly from the western shore. Paddle along shorelines most park visitors never experience. Stop for lunch at a scenic beach with mountain vistas.

Campsite Arrival - Reach your private wilderness campsite reserved exclusively for our guests. Work together to set up camp while absorbing the stunning surroundings.

Afternoon Freedom - Relax at camp, try stand up paddleboarding on the lake, cast a line (fishing license required), explore the shoreline, or simply soak in the incredible Teton views. This is your time to unwind and connect with wilderness.

Backcountry Gourmet Dinner - Your guides prepare a delicious multi-course meal with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. This isn't typical camping food - expect well-balanced, healthy, and surprisingly sophisticated cuisine.

Campfire & Stargazing - Gather around the fire as your guides share fascinating information about Grand Teton National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Listen for nature's sounds - waterfalls rushing, wolves howling, or elk bugling. Marvel at spectacular stargazing enhanced by Wyoming's exceptional clarity at 6,700+ feet elevation. Learn constellations or view planets through our telescope.

Morning Coffee - Wake naturally to mountain views. Your guides have hot coffee, tea, and cocoa ready.

Breakfast - Fuel up with breakfast sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese, hot cereal, and fresh fruit. Enjoy the peaceful morning at your wilderness camp.

Break Camp & Paddle Back - Work together to pack up camp and load kayaks. Paddle back to Signal Mountain, enjoying views of the Gros Ventre and Absaroka Mountains across the lake. Morning hours typically bring favorable conditions and excellent wildlife viewing.

Transfer to Snake River - At Signal Mountain, unload gear and transfer to Pacific Creek Launch on the Wild & Scenic Snake River. Your overnight gear goes directly back to Rendezvous River Sports or the take-out-you only need your day bag.

River Safety & Features - Learn what makes the Snake River special. Your guides expand on Day 1's risk management and teach about river features: eddies, waves, current dynamics. Understand how to navigate a swift mountain river and handle its characteristics.

Snake River Experience - Float down the legendary Snake River with expert guides sharing natural and historical interpretation. Each bend reveals new perspectives of the Cathedral Group and Grand Teton-the iconic views Ansel Adams photographed in brilliant black and white, now alive in vivid color. Watch for moose, eagles, river otters, and other wildlife along the shoreline. The experience combines peaceful drifting with thrilling sections and unforgettable scenery.

Riverside Lunch - Stop for a final picnic along the river, surrounded by the mountains that define this legendary landscape.

Return to Jackson - Complete your Snake River journey at the take-out point (approximately 10.5 miles total), then shuttle back to Jackson for final goodbyes, typically mid-afternoon.
