Go west for adventure on this exciting vacation through Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah—concluding with three scenic days aboard Rocky Mountaineer's Canyon Spirit train.
From the stomping grounds of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok to the towering peaks of Grand Teton National Park, you'll experience the history, landscapes, and frontier spirit of the American West. Pass through South Dakota's Black Hills, where legends of the frontier made their mark. Visit Mount Rushmore National Memorial to see the granite faces of four U.S. presidents, then continue to the Crazy Horse Memorial, an ongoing mountain carving honoring the Lakota leader. Follow the trail of pioneers and history-makers like Buffalo Bill to Cody, Wyoming, the town he founded in 1896. Explore Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, famous for Old Faithful, colorful geothermal features, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife, including bison, elk, moose, and bears. Travel through Grand Teton National Park, where rugged peaks rise above glacier-fed lakes, and spend time in the western town of Jackson, with the opportunity to join an optional scenic float trip on the Snake River.
Then board Rocky Mountaineer's Canyon Spirit train in Salt Lake City for a spectacular three-day rail journey through the dramatic landscapes of the American West, with overnight stays in Moab, Utah, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and Denver.
