How About A Covered Wagon Family Vacation
Looking for a "new and different" vacation experience? How about a covered wagon trek through the Tetons to see the scenic West and, at the same time, relive history?
L. D. Fromme, veteran Wyoming outfitter for wilderness pack trips, has put it all together in "packaged" tours called "Wagons West". His covered wagon treks through the Tetons have been planned to take care of every detail of a trip that replicates how pioneers traveled. For the past 10 years, he and his workers have guided groups on 2, 4, and 6-day covered wagon trips into the Teton Mountains from Jackson, Wyo.
"Anyone who loves the outdoors and is in good health and physical condition will enjoy. these trips," says Fromme. "Riding or camping experience isn't necessary. Our clients are old and young, families,children, married and single people."  -
Guests ride and sleep in the covered wagons or a deluxe tent. Foam tubber mattresses are furnished. Meals are cooked and served around a campfire. Clients bring warm clothes, sleeping bags, fishing gear, etc. There's plenty of time for visiting, taking side trips and photo-graphing scenery.
Trips are scheduled during June, July and August.
Adult fare is $150 for a two-day trip, $260 for four days, and $360 for six days. Fares for children under 16 are about 25% lower.
Wagons West will send a brochure to interested people.
