A Unique Wagon Train Vacation

Escape from the ordinary.

Nestled between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, the covered wagons line out for an incomparable trek full of majestic views. Gentle riding horses are available for those who would like to ride from camp to camp or trail ride further into the back-country to visit waterfalls and viewing areas. Your wagon master and cowboy and cowgirl guides are all expert horsemen.

Your covered wagon is a modern version of the old Conestoga Wagons, equipped with rubber tires and padded seats for your comfort. Spend four days and three nights in new camps each day where moose, elk and deer are frequent visitors. Enjoy two peaceful evenings on the shores of high mountain lakes, home of the Loon and the Trumpeter Swan.

The views on the Teton Wagon Train are incomparable as our guests completely encircle the Teton Mountain Range and trek in country nestled very close to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park and two wilderness areas. In fact, you camp one night on the top of the Teton Mountain Range and trek continuously within the “Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone”.

Couples, families and individuals of all ages can enjoy this unique vacation experience full of adventure and outdoor educational opportunities. People from four to eighty-five years of age have experienced this covered wagon trek of a lifetime – and many return time and time again. It is not necessary to know how to ride a horse or have camping experience. Our ranch hands will be glad to give instructions!

Once in camp, there is plenty of time to take nature hikes, swim, trail ride on horseback, learn to handle a rope, canoe, throw tomahawks and knives, explore the beautiful country or just relax. Evenings are spent singing with the cowboys around the campfire, listening to yarns about the Old West or enjoying the western views of the stars and if you are lucky, the Northern Lights! Of course, no covered wagon train would be complete without a visit from a mountain man, as well as a few other surprises. On the last day of the trip, a Pony Express rider delivers mail to camp. As our guest, you will also be formally inducted into the Double H Bar Ranch Family and be given a “Cowboy Send Off” to be remembered forever.

Enjoy a taste of the west as savory meals are prepared in Dutch Ovens over an open fire. Our Conestoga chuck wagon is always stocked and ready to roll. We aim to satisfy even the heartiest outdoor appetite with roast beef and ham, barbecued chicken, cowboy potatoes, vegetables, salads, fruit, etc. The food is excellent and there is plenty of it! Nothing can beat our outdoor cooking! When you wake up in the morning, the smell of coffee and bacon sizzling is a great enticement to get up and start another remarkable day.

Some of the hotels in Jackson allow you to store your extra luggage there. If not, we will store it for you.

Where do I park my car while I am on the wagon train?

Some of the hotels in Jackson allow you to park in their lots while on the trip. Ask the front desk. If not, we have a small lot that you can park in.

Is there a weight limit to go on the wagon train or to ride horseback?

How many hours a day do we travel?

Generally, we will be on the road for 2-3 hours a day. The longest trip is broken up into 2 segments, each 2 hours long, with lunch in the middle.

No. Our horses are used to the environment, the altitude and each other. We have limited space in which to keep the horses and cannot accommodate outside animals.

Conestoga® Wagon Glamping at Goosewing Ranch, WY

Goosewing Ranch is a historic guest ranch on the edge of Grand Teton National Park, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. At an elevation of 7,400 feet, they provide an experience many others only wish they could offer – and that includes Conestoga® covered wagon glamping, too!

Goosewing Ranch is a historic working ranch that was re-imagined as a guest ranch. Goosewing’s unique location allows for multi-day pack-trips into the Gros Ventre Wilderness, flyfishing, lots of wildlife, and so much more. It also provides easy access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, as well as rafting on the Snake River.

In fact, it would probably take a full week to sample even half of the experiences offered at their Wyoming guest ranch. First, you’ll want to choose your accommodations at the ranch. Goosewing Ranch offers a variety of lodging options including 2-bedroom family cabins and smaller, private cabins.

As you can probably guess, however, we have our eyes on one of their 4 Conestoga glamping wagons …

Glamping at Goosewing Ranch

Goosewing Ranch added Goosewing Rendezvous to the ranch as a separate glamping camp in 2017.

Goosewing Rendezvous is four miles northeast of Goosewing Ranch and located at a greater elevation of 8,400 feet. The remote locale provides numerous opportunities for horseback riding, wildlife spotting, hiking, and fishing. Learn survival skills, Dutch oven cooking, how to care for a horse, and soak up the Gros Ventre beauty.

There’s no cell coverage at Goosewing Rendezvous, and extremely limited internet. Don’t worry, though. You’ll have a dedicated chef, a wrangler/guide, and an event coordinator at your service to make up for it.

And how about those accommodations?

Goosewing Rendezvous Conestoga® Wagon Glamping

Lodging at Goosewing Rendezvous consists of four of our Conestoga® pioneer wagons, able to sleep up to 17 guests.

Three of the wagons contain a king bed and three twins set up as bunks to sleep five. The fourth wagon offers a king bed and a seating area to accommodate one couple. Each wagon also has its own, detached bath cabin with a shower, toilet, sink and vanity.

The wagons are equipped with propane lights, lanterns, battery-operated lamps, and solar-powered outlets and USB ports. Heat for the wagons and bath cabins is provided by propane heaters.

This video from the Goosewing Rendezvous site gives an idea of the spaciousness inside a Conestoga® Covered Wagon:

A Cabin … Or A Wagon?

You may be wondering what accommodations provide the better experience: a cabin or a wagon? This comment from an August 2018 Goosewing Ranch guest may provide some clarity:

“ Our family of four spent two nights in a Conestoga® covered wagon and three nights in a cabin at Goosewing. The covered wagon, in particular, was awesome. “

As you can see, Conestoga Wagon Co. ® brand handcrafted wagons provide all the best aspects of “roughing it,” along with the expected comfort and convenience of glamping. Take a closer look .

Experience Jackson Hole with Teton Wagon Train Adventure

What could be more Wild, Wild West than rolling across the sage flats that flank the Tetons in a covered wagon, sitting around a campfire at night singing along with honest-to-goodness cowboys before retiring to your tent under the most star-filled skies you may ever see?

The answer is, probably not much.

Teton Wagon Train offers just such a unique and unforgettable experience for your visit to Jackson Hole, and it’s best to book this alternative lodging adventure now!

Relive the experiences of the American West on the Teton Covered Wagon Train and Horse Adventure. The cowboys and cowgirls of the Double H Bar Ranches look forward to leading you on a four-day, three-night adventure of a lifetime. Double H Bar, owned for more than 40 years by the Warburton family, focuses on old-fashioned, Western hospitality.

“It’s definitely a Western adventure and that’s how we bill it,” says owner Jeff Warburton. “It’s unique—there aren’t too many places you can go and spend four days traveling in covered wagons. A lot of people say to us, ‘I loved watching Wagon Train and Little House On the Prairie and this is just like it.’ For history’s sake and memory’s sake, it’s worth it to choose us.”

Fun Fact: Many of the Warburton’s ancestors crossed the plains with wagon trains and helped settle the West.  

The adventures includes—in addition to plenty of horseback riding—canoeing, nature hikes in the beautiful country near Yellowstone National Park , throwing tomahawks and knives, campfire entertainment and more. Authentic Dutch Oven food is cooked over an open fire, and the Conestoga Chuckwagon is always stocked and ready to roll. The Teton Wagon Train aims to satisfy even the hardiest outdoor appetite with roast beef and ham, barbecued chicken, cowboy potatoes, vegetables, salads, fruit, and more.

Couples, families and individuals of all ages can enjoy this memorable vacation experience full of adventure and outdoor educational opportunities on a covered wagon trek of a lifetime. It’s not necessary to know how to ride a horse or have previous camping experience as Double Bar H ranch hands will be glad to give instructions. Your covered wagon is a modern version of the old Conestoga wagons, equipped with rubber tires and padded seats for your comfort.

Guests sleep in two-man tents or can enjoy sleeping outside under the stars. Warm sleeping bags with 3-inch foam mattresses, sheet liners, pillows, and pillowcases are provided for each person.

“You’ll get to know other people from all over the world,” says Jeff.  “This will be our 46th season and we’ve had guests from almost every country in the world.”

Departure dates for 2019 are coming up fast: June 10, 17 and 24; July 8, 15, 22, and 29; August 5 and 12. The minimum age to participate is 4 years old. Cost is $1,095 for adults, $1,015 for age 9 through 14, and $965 for children 4 to 8 years old.

There is also a seven-day vacation package offered that in addition to the Teton Wagon Train and Horse Adventure includes a full day bus tour of Yellowstone National Park, whitewater and/or scenic rafting on the Snake River , an opportunity to shop and explore Jackson Town Square , among other fun activities, and four nights accommodations in a Jackson Hole motel. The other three nights are spent camping with the wagon train.

Riding in the ruts of the Oregon Trail

Last weekend we joined a guide and took our family for an overnight trek on the Oregon Trail organized through Historic Trails West. This experience was hands-down, the most educational and amazingly fun excursion we have done in the four years that we have been homeschooling. Three cheers for an educational field trip that even parents can enjoy!

The day of our trek we met our guide and owner of Historic Trails West, Morris Carter, at the Historic Interpretive Center in Casper Wyoming. When we saw a man with a rugged horse trailer and a cowboy hat, we knew we found our guy. After introductions we followed Morris and his crew to the start of the trek. We loaded our overnight packs into the back of the covered wagon while Morris and Greg, another driver, hitched up the horses. The horses are beautiful creatures. Don’t let their size intimidate you, they were extremely friendly and loved attention!

Heading out on the Oregon Trail:

Once the wagon was loaded and the team was hitched, we all climbed in. I could see the anticipation building while looking at my children’s faces. When the team of horses, Mike and Mark, gave that first pull it was surreal. Being right in the ruts of the actual Oregon Trail is something my family will never forget.

As you might expect, the trail is a little bumpy in spots (and a lot bumpy in others). Honestly, the bumps are a main part of the experience though. Who would ever feel like they were in the ruts of the real Oregon Trail if it was a smooth, flat ride over a well-maintained trail? Find your sense of adventure and climb on up!

Interactive History Lessons:

During the covered wagon ride on our first night, we were filled with wonder as we listened to Morris and Greg teach us about the history of the trail. The trail was originally used by fur traders and it was not until the Manifest Destiny movement in the early 1840’s that it was coined the Oregon Trail. All different types of people from missionaries to businessmen used the trail to travel West toward Oregon. The West became the land of opportunity. Travel typically consisted of 12-18 miles per day so the entire journey of over 2000 miles took approximately six months.

Of course, the six-month journey across the Oregon Trail did not happen without issue. While rolling along the trail we were told of difficult circumstances and injuries that happened to travelers and their animals. Our guides did a great job of presenting situations and asking the children to think of some possible solutions. Numerous open-ended questions were asked to promote critical thinking and a deeper understanding of this period in time. Our time in the wagon was most definitely an interactive time. Morris and Greg did a fantastic job painting a picture what life would have been like if we were on the trail in the mid 1800’s.

Overnight Camp:

After riding on the trail for about 2.5 hours we rode up to our campsite for the night. The horses were unhitched and left to graze while we brought our belongings to our lodging, the tepee. Most of us had never stayed in a tepee overnight so we were very excited to trade in our usual sleeping quarters for this new experience. We were provided with thick sleeping pads as well as sleeping bags and pillows. Our tepee had plenty of room for our family of 5 to sleep in with extra room for our bags and sitting chairs.

Dinner was simmering over the fire while we were getting situated thanks to a wonderful young lady named Nevaeh. She had steaks, baked potatoes, and the most wonderful green beans ready to satisfy our appetites. Soft rolls were ready and waiting on the table. We all sat down together to enjoy conversation and the most delicious campfire dinner. A warm cobbler was also offered for dessert. My entire family finished their dinner with delight and my kids are still talking about how scrumptious the green beans were. (All the parents out there think about how often you cook dinner without hearing a single complaint. Yep, you know that means the food was A+)!

After dinner Greg and Neveah departed and Morris kept the fire going. We fully enjoyed gathering around the campfire to share stories and hear more about Morris’ experiences on the Oregon Trial. Morris and his daughters personally traveled the Oregon Trail in it’s entirety during the 150 year celebration so he has a wealth of knowledge not only about the history but he also has personal experience on traveling this route and caring for the animals and equipment necessary for the journey. Hearing about the handmade wagons we had been riding in and personal accounts of the trail made our time that much more special.

Our camp looked beautiful under the moonlit sky and it soon became apparent that it was time to turn in for the night. We all snuggled in to our sleeping bags and had a peaceful sleep. The sleeping pads were more than sufficient and we were all extremely comfortable. We woke in the morning to the sun showing the most magnificent patterns on the tepee walls.

Morning at Camp:

Well rested and excited to start our day, we dressed and headed outside. Morris had coffee cooking over the campfire and cold beverages ready as well. Breakfast consisted of roasted potatoes, bacon, and eggs. The kids enjoyed helping cook breakfast for the group. We sat around the table together one last time for fellowship and food.

Unfortunately, after breakfast it was time to pack up and head out of camp. The horses were hitched while we gathered our things and put them in the back of the wagon. Morris generously offered to take a few photos of our family before we hit the trail. There’s no electricity at camp so we aren’t all dolled up but I think we’re a pretty good looking crew none the less.

Riding back to our starting point on the Oregon Trail was humbling. Morris had our two younger children sit in the front with him and they absolutely loved it. They even got a short lesson on how to drive the horses. We are so grateful for this small glimpse into our nation’s history. Reading from a textbook is one thing but getting out on that trail made this period in time come alive for my family.

Morris from Historic Trails West was very easy going and made the entire experience effortless. I am extremely impressed that he touched on many of the aspects of the Oregon Trail that we researched and used many keywords that solidified our learning. We also learned many aspects that we hadn’t heard of before taking his tour. He was spectacular with the children and they are already asking when we can go back.

In addition to the overnight trek, Historic Trails West offers trips anywhere from 2 hours to 5 days in length. While we decided to book our trip based on our homeschooling efforts, this is an experience for everyone. Take a tour with your family or get a group together and share the fun.

This looks so amazing! What a fun and unique day!

Cara, it was fantastic! Riding in that wagon was so humbling and we learned so much.

That looks like an AMAZING trip! One for the homeschool bucket list, for sure! I’m sharing. 🙂

Terri, this is the ultimate homeschool field trip! Educational and fun at the same time. I love getting a glimpse of what others went through and this experience was perfect for that!

Wow! What an amazing adventure! The pictures were amazing and made me feel like I was riding along. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for your kind words Christa! I was hoping that I could capture the experience in a way that brings it to life for others.

What a once-in-a-lifetime experience! History brought to life!

Katy, this was history in the best possible way! History has never been my favorite subject but when I get to experience it like this and hear personal stories from someone, I really enjoy learning. Plus, my kids and husband loved it too!

Wow, this sounds like quite the adventure! I would love to look into doing this!

Ashley, I would strongly recommend going out there and experiencing it in some capacity! I love that Historic Trails West has rides anywhere from 2 hours to 5 days. Truly something for everyone!

Wow, talk about bringing the textbooks to life. I didn’t even know they actually did this! Thanks for sharing.

Arianny, yes! History has so much more meaning when you can bring it to life and experience it for yourself!

What an awesome experience! Talk about learning about history by living it. I have a feeling your sturdy wagon probably fared better than the ones crossing the country back then, but that makes it even more eye-opening!

what a great adventure! I can’t believe how huge those teepees are!

Riding in I thought they were cute but once we got up to them they seemed giant! They were beautiful too. So many photos of them on my camera!

That is an amazing adventure, unique and lots of fun. It is not everyday we can ride wagon like that .

Ina, we loved how unique the experience was. We haven’t done anything like it in all of our travels. The fact that the wagon was homemade was just icing on the cake!

What an awesome adventure!! We live in Idaho and could easily get over to WY to do this! Thanks for the awesome run-through! It has just been added to our list of things to do with our son!

Susan, I’m so glad to hear that you added it to your must-do list! It was such an amazing experience and my boys can’t stop talking about it. Who doesn’t love a ride, a campfire, and sleeping in a tepee?!?

What a fun experience!

More fun than we could have ever hoped for!

This looks like SO MUCH FUN! Would love to do it when my daughter gets older!

Micky, I strongly recommend it for all families! My nine year old says it’s one of his best days ever. He wants to go on the three day next time so he can pitch his own tepee!

What wonderful idea for a family trip. History, health and happiness combined! I loved learning about the Oregon trail.

I’m glad you enjoyed it Verla! It was such a treat to have this experience with my entire family. It was extremely educational and a lot of fun too!

You just added another item to my bucket list. I LOVE experiences like these. so very very cool. Thanks again for sharing.

I’m so glad you enjoyed reading about our experience Tonya! Hopefully you’ll get to experience it for yourself soon and get it off the bucketlist!

This is such a great interactive experience and what a way to bond as a family.

Thanks Alison! Riding in the actual ruts of the pioneers and learning right along side my children was priceless!

this is amazing!

Thank you Tina! We really enjoyed our time out on the trail.

How fun is that and what a learning experience as well.

Hi Kelly! One of the best parts of this experience was that it fit perfectly into our homeschool studies. Experiences that are fun and also education are a win-win!

Looks like such a fun thing to experience!

Deborah, it was an awesome experience. My kids are constantly asking when we can go back and do the 3 day trip!

This is such a cool experience! Reminded me of the game.

We were reminded of the game too. Good news is everyone lives in this experience!

SOO Fun! I love these kind of experiences. Great photos too. I bet your dinner in the Dutch Oven was delicious too.

These are the best kinds of experiences! Hands-on learning at it’s finest. Our dinner was delicious, everything tastes better when cooked outside. And especially when you didn’t have to go grocery shopping!

I had no idea you could do this! How fun!! Ok, and seriously, please tell me you went home and showed your kids the old video game. ..

We haven’t had time yet, but we’re definitely going to be playing the video game on rainy days this summer. I feel like we have to!

What a great experience – my kids would absolutely love to do this! May have to add it to the summer list!

Sarah, this is such a great opportunity for kids! They learn so much and they don’t even realize it. The guide was excellent with our children and that totally made the experience.

This look like such a memorable and fun trip. I would love to take my family on this type of trip some day.

Jennifer, if you can ever fit it into your schedule I would strongly recommend it. We’ve never found anything like it and it was truly an experience that the whole family enjoyed!

Hey there! I’ve been reading your weblog for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Atascocita Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the great work!

To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Camping is a great way to explore Wyoming’s natural beauty up close, but not everyone is keen on sleeping in a tent. While some folks prefer fancy hotel stays, others prefer to step right back into the 1800s and sleep in a covered wagon. There’s a ranch right here that lets you do just that, and you’re going to want to pay it a visit soon.
