 Wagons West invites you to be a part of Western America’s most unique vacation idea. Trek with us along unused roads in the foothills of the Rockies and near the mighty Tetons. Camp with us in grassy meadows by a noisy stream, share some dutch oven grub from the chuckwagon, enjoy the evening wagon circle and campfire, relax to the singing of the cowboy, coax the old timer to spin a yarn, sleep in your covered wagon, in a tent or under the stars. Now anyone from the youngest to the oldest, from the novice to the expert, can get away from the traffic and the crowds and really enjoy nature in a safe, comfortable style.
From our years of outfitting wilderness pack trips, we realize that many people wish to have a genuine outdoor experience but cannot spend the time or do not feel qualified to undertake such a strenuous expedition. From the recognition of the needs of these nature lovers WAGONS WEST has developed. The role of the covered wagon in winning and settling the West is well known. By our authentic re-creation of pioneer covered wagon trains of yesteryear,  traveling through the most scenic areas in Western America, we can bring you the thrill of reliving history.
Wagons West is an authentic replica of a pioneer covered wagon train as used by early settlers in their journey west. Wagons are pulled by gentle teams and driven by local ranchers. For your comfort, wagons have rubber tires and foam padded seats that convert to deluxe bunks at night. The white wagon cover protects you from the sun and the occasional shower. Gentle riding horses are furnished for those who wish to ride. Guided trail rides explore the surrounding wilderness. Trip Description We meet you at the motel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at 8:00 a.m. for transfer by van to Wagons West. After you meet the wagon master, the crew and other guests, you are assigned to your wagon or fitted to your saddle and the train lines out for the day's trek.  Frequent stops and a lunch break provide time to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Wagon covers are rolled up to give a full view of passing scenery. You may escort the wagon train on a gentle riding horse in rotation with other guests. Full time horses are available for an extra fee. Special guided trailrides into the surrounding wilderness will be a highlight of the trip for those so inclined.
The next campsite is reached and wagon circle forms in early afternoon to allow time for nature walks, hiking around camp, horse shoe games, roping or relaxation before supper. Meals are served family style from our chuckwagon by experienced cooks. Guests sleep in their wagon, in a deluxe tent, or under the stars. We return you to the motel by 6:00 p.m. on the last day of the trek. two days/one night, four days/three nights, six days/five nights
