Tour Itinerary
Go west for adventure and treasured discoveries on this affordable American vacation through South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah. From the stomping grounds of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok 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 and stand at the national monuments to presidents at Mount Rushmore, and to Native American legend, Chief Crazy Horse. Follow the trail of pioneers and history-makers to Wyoming—home of Buffalo Bill and the spectacular natural splendor of Yellowstone National Park. From Old Faithful and thundering waterfalls to the desert of the Great Salt Lake, your journey through the American West is a tale to be told for years to come.

This was my second vacation booked with Affordable Tours and both times I found the service to all and more that they advertised. I would encourage everyone to consider Affordable Tours for their next vacation. The tour director on both of my trips worked hard to make sure all members of the tour got what they pay for, and made sure, if any issues or problems development, they were handled in a timely manner. Also, my booking agent, Donna, handle all any questions, concerns or miss communications with professionalism and kept me informed every step of the way!
