The air is crisp, the leaves are changing and there’s no time like the present to take your family on an adventure getaway focusing on nature and the great outdoors. The Outbound Hotels group offers great choices for nature-centric bases focusing on authentic experiences.

 

For a taste of the Wild West, The Virginian Lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has firepits, an all-season swimming pool and hot tubs for relaxing and easy access to the Teton Mountains for adventure. Retro décor and an onsite mercantile offering a selection of fun, branded Western gear add to the cozy vibe, while perks include a winter season ski shuttle and pop-up igloos, along with curated fireside s’mores. At the Outbound Adventure Center, experts can help everyone find the right gear and activity, whether that’s a Wildlife Safari, a guided tour of Yellowstone’s Lower Loop, Jeep and park tours and rafting and biking experiences.

 

A stay at Outbound Mammoth (formerly known as Sierra Nevada Resort) in Mammoth Lakes, California, will keep everyone engaged, regardless of whether their passion is horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding or relaxing in the waters of famous Mammoth Hot Springs. Ski gear rentals are available, along with snowmobiling, dog sledding and ice skating. During summer months guests can kayak, mountain bike, golf, hike or saddle up for a horseback riding journey.

 

Accommodation choices include cabins, resort fireplace suites and resort chalets. Worth noting: Dog-friendly accommodations at both properties mean the entire family is welcome.
