             FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the climate like?  During the summer months of June through September, temperatures in the day average between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and dip down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit at night. In the summer, the weather is generally sunny and clear, with the occasional rain shower.

How strenuous are the activities?  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.

What ages are appropriate for this adventure? While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we recommend that children be at least 5 years old at the time of travel on our Quest for the West trip. This is based on several factors, such as high altitude at destination and amount of physical activity (e.g., rafting, hiking, horseback riding) involved. Because each child is different, call a Concierge Agent to discuss whether this is the right trip for your kids.
