Go west for adventure and treasured discoveries on this affordable American vacation through Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah. From the “Mile High City” of Denver to the lofty peaks of the Grand Tetons, you’ll experience the Wild West with its stunning vistas and historic lore. Pass through the Black Hills of South Dakota where the legends of the frontier made their mark. Stand at the national monument to four legendary American presidents at Mount Rushmore and see the even larger mountain monument still being carved to Native American legend, Chief Crazy Horse. Follow the trail of pioneers and history-makers like Buffalo Bill to Cody, Wyoming, the town he founded in 1896. Be awed by the spectacular natural splendor of Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first national park. Yellowstone is famous for its hydrothermal features like iconic Old Faithful geyser, thundering waterfalls, and abundance of wildlife. Travel through magnificent Grand Teton National Park with its majestic mountains and glacier-fed lakes. Spend time in the Wild West town of Jackson, with the chance to take an optional float trip down the Snake River. From old frontiers to the desert of the Great Salt Lake, this journey through the American West will be a tale to be told for years to come.
