Summer adventure in Wyoming with Alyson Adventures

It's easy to get to know the other travelers in our small, friendly, gay and lesbian groups.

An active, outdoors vacation with Alyson Adventures.

Yahoo! Spend a gay adventure week in the Old West, with whitewater rafting, horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing.

Rafting, horseback riding, hiking, and time to just kick back.

The outlaw Butch Cassidy holed up here in the shadow of the Grand Teton, and some of his loot may still be hidden nearby. We'll live more stylishly, in deluxe condos with lots of living space, as our gay and lesbian group explores America's grandest mountain range from a variety of angles.

During this adventure week, choose any four activities on five days: rafting (whitewater and flatwater); horseback riding; canoeing; rock climbing; and kayaking. The rest of the time, make your own holiday adventures as you hike on mountain trails, bike beside a mountain stream, swim in a sparkling lake, fish, or enjoy a day trip to nearby Yellowstone, or take to the skies in a hot-air balloon or with a para-gliding buddy. Or go look for that buried treasure.

Highlights:

Watch for moose and other wildlife as we raft down the Snake River, with a combination of flatwater and whitewater rafting -- both count as one activity.
Float across a mountain lake on a kayak, with time out for lunch and a swim, as a beaver dives underwater with a splash of its tail, and a bald eagle soars above.
Splash through a mountain stream on horseback, then past a field of colorful wildflowers.
Get your first climbing lesson, then climb up a rock wall that would have looked impossible just a few hours earlier.

Is it the right vacation for you? Our wide choice of activities ensures that anyone looking for an active vacation will have a week to remember.
