The Call of the Wild: Guided Wildlife Tours up close and personal in Jackson Hole, WY

Start the adventure right after breakfast at the Bentwood Inn, just five miles from the South entrance to Grand Teton National Park, when a professional naturalist guide accompanies you on foot or by snowshoe for a wildlife tour of National Geographic proportions. You’ll come up- close-and-personal with moose, elk, bald eagles and coyote. If you’re lucky, you might even see a bear in its natural habitat, but don’t worry, the guide won’t let your honey get too close! Return to the Bentwood Inn, a striking log inn, for an evening wine and cheese reception and home-baked chocolate chip cookies available 24/7. Fall asleep hearing the call of the coyote and reminiscing about all that nature offers so far from the maddening crowd.

Tubing down the Saint James River then sleep in style in historic Charlottesville, VA

A river runs through this adventure. Stay at the 17 room Clifton Inn and enjoy a day of tubing on the Saint James River. Float your cares away in some very cool tubes provided by the inn along with a picnic lunch and a customized itinerary for a little wine tasting or museum visiting on the return trip. This is one adventurous way to tour Charlottesville’s history and natural beauty. Once back at the inn bask in the beautifully crafted appointments at this Relais & Chateaux rated inn. Each room and suite is distinct,

some featuring airy lofts, others opening out onto private terraces within the gardens. Enjoy a taste of Charlottesville fine dining, or bask in an onsite infinity pool in the 100-acre surroundings that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson’s father.
