Guided experience
Nature Walk
Start or end the day with a guided nature walk to the granite outcrops and dry riverbeds surrounding Madisa. The slower pace gives guests time to notice tracks, plants, birds and the smaller details that are easily missed from a vehicle.
The walk is subject to weather, wildlife activity and guide availability. Ask the reservations team to confirm the departure time, duration and current rate.

Local guides and the experienced WWS team provide support throughout the journey.
