TAKE THE FAMILY TO THE TETONS
Family bonding climbs to new heights in eastern Idaho with Teton Ridge Ranch's new Tell Your Family To Take a Hike getaway. Families are invited to explore the ranch's 4,000 acres of pristine natural landscape during exciting outdoor adventures each day. At night, they retreat to an elegantly appointed, yet kid-friendly private lodge that is tucked away amid Aspen pine trees and beautiful meadows.
With more than 18 miles of trails to choose from, groups can opt for a guided hike led by ranch staff or set off on their own with maps provided by the property. Picnic lunches and snacks are provided for families wishing to venture out for most of the day. The property can also direct hikers to a number of more difficult trails into the Grand Tetons.
After exploring the trails, families can angle-up for a lesson in fly-fishing on one of the ranch's stocked fishing ponds. Fly-casting equipment is provided by the ranch.
Home base for this family getaway is the property's special retreat, the Aspen Lodge, a private log house with two bedrooms, three bathrooms and private porches to take in the mountain views. Guests of the Aspen Lodge join other ranch guests in the main lodge's dining room for all meals. The main lodge also features a great room, library, game room, fitness room, computer room and massage room.
The package includes three gourmet meals per day, plus snacks and a bottomless refrigerator stocked with juices, water, soda, beer and wine. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style from an open kitchen. In the evening, guests meet in the great room for appetizers and drinks by the fire before dinner in the dining room.
FYI: The Take a Hike family getaway, based on four people occupying the Aspen Lodge, is $1,260 June and October, and $1,380 July-September. Rates are per day and include all lodging, meals and activities. Additional persons per room are $125 per day. For reservations, call 800-926-3579 or visit www.tetonridge.com.
