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.
