Renter Reviews of Area Attractions and Activities
Cabins & Lodges-
- The location of your cabins is fantastic. With Yellowstone only 25 minutes away we loved it and went into the park twice. We saw moose and deer and fox all within a mile of the cabin we were in. They were beautiful. (Reviewed by Cindy from West Point, Utah, September 2008)
Horseback Riding/ATVs–
- Canyon Adventures (800-520-7533):
It was fun. The horses were on their first trip of the year so they were slightly over weight (approximate 300 pds). The guide Melissa was great and knew all the horses' personalities. The trip lasted about two hours, which is just perfect if you haven't ridden before. The scenery was nice and you get a great view when you get to the top of a very large Butte. The horses liked to play in the water as you cross the river. Bring a camera for pictures when you get to the top. We did the horseback riding in the morning and then we did the river rafting in the afternoon (with Geyser Whitewater Expeditions). Plenty of time to grab lunch.

- ATV trails in Idaho and Montana are super and I had the good fortune to ride the Continental Divide as well as riding from Island Park to West Yellowstone. (Reviewed by Sandra from Lovelock, Nevada, July 2008)
Mesa Falls-
- If you like waterfalls, Mesa Falls is outstanding. At the Upper Mesa Falls lookout the walkway takes you right to the brink of the falls. It was amazing. (Reviewed by Cory from Provo, Utah, June 2008)
White Water Rafting–
- Geyser Whitewater Expeditions (800-914-9031): What an experience !! The weather was perfect for the time of year (May). The guides were very friendly and fun. The Geyser team was top of of the line. The equipment is new and up-to-date and it gives you the feeling of a top notch business. We had so much fun. The rapids averaged category 3 and some category 4s. The trip on the water lasted about 2 1/2 hours. There were some parts that were calm and it gave you an opportunity to rest from paddling and enjoy the scenery!! The movie "A River Runs Through It" was filmed there and you can understand the beauty of it all. I even got to jump off a bridge halfway through the trip! I recommend you go and see Eric (the owner) and sign up. It will be an experience you will not forget. I also want to point out that I had my Mother and Father with us, they are in their late 50s, and they had a blast as well. [Reviewed by Matt from Oregon, Summer 2007]
Yellowstone National Park-
- If you're limited on time in Yellowstone, do the northern loop. Other than bison and elk, which were also on the southern loop, this is where we spotted black and grizzly bears, big horn sheep, and a wolf. If you hate crowds, stay away from Old Faithful. I spent a couple of days there 40 years ago as a child and loved it. It had a "woodsy-down home" feel back then. This time it felt like Disney Land. . . . With the exception of Mammoth Hot Springs, the north loop was everything I remembered. Mammoth Hot Springs has all but dried up but still provides an excellent display of what nature can do over time. (Reviewed by Rick from Kennewick, Washington, June 2008)
