"Featured on the same six-day Intrepid Travel “Active-ism” trip that includes Yellowstone, this mountain-park stop takes part in an itinerary combining outdoor pursuits with activist-led conversations to raise awareness about threats to national parks. Early departures are hosted by Michael Mezzatesta (June 7, 2026) and Leah Thomas (June 14, 2026).
