  1. Skydiving

  1. Aerial Tram

  1. Horseback Riding

  1. Llama Trekking

Flickr/m01229 Hiking is the norm but how about adding a little twist to your bucket list item? Take a load off your back and enjoy llama trekking. The llama carries your pack and you do the hiking.

  1. White Water Rafting

  1. Wildlife Safari

Facebook/Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris You don’t have to travel to Africa to enjoy a wildlife safari. You can enjoy one right here in Wyoming. During the summer months, Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris offers a Half Day Wildlife Safari Tour, a Yellowstone Wildlife Safari Tour, a Yellowstone Hiking Safari, a Grant Teton Wildlife Safari Tour, a Custom Photography Workshop, and a Safari/River Combo Tour.

  1. Fly Fishing

Flickr/U.S. Department of the Interior Fly Fishing is the ultimate experience when it comes to fishing. Pictured is some fly fishing taking place in the Snake River. Snake River is home to Fine Spotted Cutthroat Trout.

  1. Old West Cookout

Flickr/Randy Watson If an Old West Dinner Cookout isn’t on your summer bucket list then it definitely should be. Ride out to Yancy’s Hole in a covered wagon or on a horse for some western music, campfire, and a meal that includes steak, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, cornbread muffins, and fruit crisp.

  1. Teton Wagon Train

Flickr/Ranch Seeker For a unique experience, take a ride on a covered wagon just like they did in the Old West. This is a 4- day, 3- night venture near Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole.

  1. Alpine Slide

Facebook/Snow King Mountain The Alpine Slide is a fun family outing. The slide is located at the base of Snow King Ski Area in Jackson. Ride a chairlift to the top of the slide and fly down the 2,500 foot chute.

  1. Rock Climbing - Grand Teton

  1. Mountain Biking

Flickr/Owen Richard Because of rugged terrain, mountain biking is the adventure of a lifetime in Wyoming. Crystal Ridge Trail, Continental Divide Mountain Biking Trail, Lunatic Fringe, and Casper Mountain trails are some great trails to tackle.

  1. ATV Excursions

  1. Riding In A Hot Air Balloon
