250th Anniversary of the United States of America

Birthday Tour

29 June - 12 July, 2026

​

In 2026, the En Gedi Project is hitting the road for a 14-day, vehicle-based adventure through Wyoming and the surrounding region to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States! We’ll explore some of the most iconic natural and historic sites in the American West—Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone and Old Faithful, along with stops like Devils Tower, Mount Rushmore, and the Wyoming State Capitol. Along the way, we’ll trace emigrant trails, visit Fort Laramie, take in a Fourth of July parade, set off epic fireworks outside of Worland, tour a world-class military vehicle museum, and experience the Cody Night Rodeo.​ Check out the rough itinerary here!

​

Families are welcome to join with their own vehicles or RVs, and we can take individual kids or adults as well. Super family-friendly - nothing strenuous or challenging, pick how little or far you'd like to hike on several optional hikes (including one epic all-day (think 20+ hours) climb of the Middle Teton), and all the food and logistics planned for. We'd love to celebrate the blessings, natural beauty, and history of this great land together with you and your family!

​​

Please let us know early of your interest, as spaces will be limited and there are a lot of details to coordinate. Cost estimates and detailed itineraries to follow soon. We will have an information meeting online in January.

Full and partial scholarships available for any En Gedi Project activity.
