Hi everybody, this review was written by my client who is 12 years old. She just returned last month from the Quest for the West. I thought I would share this with everyone. – Michelle
My Dad and I chose Quest for the West for its great combination of fun activities, nature experiences and nice places to stay. Little did we guess just how fantastic the trip would be. If you like hiking, horseback riding and white water rafting while surrounded by breathtaking scenery- this is the trip for you. Our Disney guides were great! They really kept the fun going with camp-fire songs, a scavenger hunt and loads of special Disney surprises, but were also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area. (One guide was a former Yellowstone Park Ranger) Over the trip, the animals spotted included a mother black bear and two cubs, loads of bison and dozens of elk, as well as ground squirrels, marmots, wolves and, of course, lots of fish: cut throat, brown and rainbow trout. You really got to see lots of nature, but perhaps the best part of the trip was experiencing Old Faithful’s eruption dozens of times as well as exploring other geysers, mud-pots, fumeroles and hot springs. Our cool laser thermometers even registered the heat in the ground beneath our feet (which was in some parts 190°F)! Our stays in Jackson and at Brooks Lake lodge were spent surrounded by the majestic Teton Mountain range. The scenery is so spectacular. You could see snow-covered peaks reflected in a lake when we rode by on horse-back. It sounds too good to be true, but it really is, and w as an awesome experience. This was a trip my Dad and I will never forget and I can’t wait until our next Disney Adventure
