ANY USA CITY, except Hawaii, and Alaska.
Marvel at the West's premier natural wonders on this 7-state vacation and see spectacular scenery, memorials, monuments,
parks, canyons, and much more. Your trip begins in Denver and heads to South Dakota for visits to Crazy Horse Memorial and
Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Visit Tatanka and Deadwood, once a wild gold-mining town, and journey west to Buffalo Bill’s
frontier town of Cody, Wyoming. Then, head to Yellowstone National Park to see magnificent views of Yellowstone Canyon, Lower
Falls, and world-famous Old Faithful Geyser.
Overnight in Yellowstone National Park (depending on the time of year) before traveling into breathtaking Grand Teton National
Park for a delightful walk along glacier-fed Jenny Lake. In nearby Jackson, with its wooden sidewalks and swing-door saloons,
you’ll have plenty of free time to tour on your own.
Next, it’s on to Salt Lake City, Utah’s capital, for a sightseeing tour. Then, marvel at the hoodoos and dramatic landscapes of
Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park. Stunning scenery awaits you in both parks, so have your camera ready!
Continue into Arizona to Page, on the shores of Lake Powell, and cross the Painted Desert to amazing Grand Canyon National
Park. Your hotel is located in the park, giving you a rare opportunity for great views and time to explore this spellbinding place. For a
thrill of a lifetime, take an optional flightseeing trip over the Grand Canyon. Finally, travel to Las Vegas, where this spectacular
vacation ends.
Day 1 Denver Fly to Denver from your home city. Welcome to Denver, the “Mile High City,” capital of Colorado and gateway to
the Rocky Mountains. Transfer to the Hotel included.
Day 2 Denver-Keystone Meet your Tour Director this morning and head north to Wyoming, then continue into the Black Hills.
Day 3 Keystone-Crazy Horse-Mount Rushmore-Deadwood See CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL, a monument carved out of a
mountain that pays respect to the great Native American hero, Chief Crazy Horse. Drive deep into the Black Hills, through what
was Sioux Indian territory, to see the stunning granite faces of MOUNT RUSHMORE, a giant monument to four great American
presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Afterward, visit TATANKA: The Story of the Bison, and
experience the richness of the Lakota people. On to Deadwood, a lawless frontier town during the 1876 Gold Rush, where Jack
McCall murdered Wild Bill Hickok during a poker game. Overnight here, and discover Deadwood’s Wild West ways as you walk in
the footsteps of legends like Calamity Jane and Seth Bullock. (CB)
Day 4 Deadwood-Cody This morning, head through high country, where open-range cattle kings made war on the
homesteaders in the 1890s. Drive past Sheridan in the Bighorn Mountains, site of battles between the U.S. Cavalry and the Sioux,
Cheyenne, and Crow Indians. Overnight in Buffalo Bill’s frontier town of Cody.
Day 5 Cody-Yellowstone National Park Proceed through Shoshone National Forest to YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. Travel along
Grand Loop Road to Artist Point for views of the Lower Falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Overnight in Yellowstone National Park.
Routing and areas visited in Yellowstone National Park are always subject to favorable weather, gate access, and road conditions; therefore,
routings may be adjusted.
Day 6 Yellowstone National Park Today, explore more of America’s first national park by returning to visit the
geyser basins with bubbling mud paint pots and the reliable “blow” of Old Faithful. In addition to superb mountain scenery, the park is one of
the world’s principle wildlife preserves and a photographer’s paradise.
Day 7 Yellowstone-Grand Teton National Park-Jackson Head south into magnificent GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, one of America’s
last preserves of wild solitude. Its 13,770-foot-high ridges are crested with snow most of the year. Stroll along the shores of beautiful glacier-fed
Jenny Lake before ending the day in the Wild West town of Jackson with its wooden sidewalks and swing-door saloons. This evening, join an
optional barbecue cookout and Wild West show. (CB)
Day 8 Jackson Time to relax in Jackson, or maybe join a scenic trip down the Snake River. Enjoy an 8-mile float
trip that begins at Pritchard Creek and passes nesting areas of bald eagles and ospreys. The afternoon is free in Jackson to explore the shops
and museums of historic downtown. This evening, perhaps stroll along the old-time boardwalks and have supper at a swing-door saloon. (CB)
Day 9 Jackson-Salt Lake City Today, leave Jackson and drive to Salt Lake City, Utah’s vibrant capital. Set on the edge of Great Salt Lake
Desert, this center of the Mormon religion is where Brigham Young declared to his
followers, “This is the place.” An included sightseeing tour features a glimpse of Temple Square, the Capitol Building, and beautiful downtown
Salt Lake City. (B)
Day 10 Salt Lake City-Bryce Canyon National Park Journey through sagebrush landscape to BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK with its
20 miles of sandstone cliffs and ever-changing colors. See some of Earth’s most brilliant shades of rock, sculpted by nature into pillars called
“hoodoos.”
Day 11 Bryce Canyon National Park-Zion National Park-Page First stop today is ZION NATIONAL PARK with its
landscape carved over millions of years by rushing streams. Steep canyons, stone towers, and verdant vegetation form the scenery of Zion.
Then, head east into Page on the shores of Lake Powell, originally built to house workers during the construction of the massive Glen Canyon
Dam, which holds back the waters of 186-mile-long Lake Powell. (CB)
Day 12 Page-Painted Dessert-Grand Canyon National Park Enjoy an optional flight over scenic Monument Valley. Then, cross the
Painted Desert and head through Kaibab National Forest before arriving at GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK in the early afternoon. Marvel
at one of the Natural Wonders of the World as you experience amazing views. You’ll have plenty of time to do some viewing before dusk, as
your accommodation is inside the National Park.
Day 13 Grand Canyon National Park-Las Vegas For a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, take an optional helicopter flightseeing trip over the Grand
Canyon, with incomparable views of flame-colored walls plunging 4,800 feet into the Colorado River. Leaving the high country of Arizona, we
pass through Williams on famous Route 66, and then the old Mojave gold-strike country, which still has traces of century-old ghost towns.
Arrive in Las Vegas—a neon desert oasis packed with spectacular hotels and casinos.
