About

Yellowstone National Park is certainly a bucket-list destination with so much to offer. Over four days and three nights, Eagles will backpack to various sites throughout the park, hiking as many as 45 miles, depending on the route. (Permits are not available until 31 March. We’ll be sure to update this webpage once we know which trail Eagles will be backpacking.) 

With a focus on physical challenge and connection, backpacking with Team RWB will allow you to experience the more remote and less-visited areas of Yellowstone National Park. The backcountry offers solitude and a chance to connect with nature in a more intimate way. Because of the diverse ecosystem and rugged terrain, this backpacking trip will offer numerous challenges, no matter the route.

From geothermal features like hot springs and geysers, to mega-fauna like grizzly bears, moose, elk, and wolves, to pristine forests and star-lit skies, this Eagle Expedition is going to be an unforgettable experience. And to cap it off, Eagles who attend will have the opportunity to give back to the surrounding ecosystem through a habitat improvement project with the National Parks Conservation Association. 

So, we’re off to hike in Yellowstone National Park and wrap things up with one thing all veterans know how to do and do well — volunteer and leave this place better than it was found. If you’re looking for THE bucket-list backpacking trip with fellow veterans, go ahead and apply today.
