Itinerary

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.

  1. Day 1
    RAPID CITY
    Welcome to Rapid City. Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions.
  2. Day 2
    RAPID CITY–CRAZY HORSE–MOUNT RUSHMORE–DEADWOOD
    Visit 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. 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.
  3. Day 3
    DEADWOOD–CODY
    This morning, head through high country, where open-range cattle kings made war on the homesteaders in the 1890s. Drive past Sheridan and then ascend into the alpine region of the Bighorn Mountains, and the site of the Battle of Tongue River. Overnight in Buffalo Bill’s frontier town of Cody.
  4. Day 4
    CODY–YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK–WEST YELLOWSTONE
    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 West Yellowstone.

    NOTES:
    Routing and areas visited in Yellowstone National Park are always subject to favorable weather, gate access, and road conditions; therefore, routings may be adjusted.
  5. Day 5
    WEST YELLOWSTONE. DAY EXCURSION TO 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 principal wildlife preserves and a photographer’s paradise. (CB)
  6. Day 6
    WEST 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. This evening, consider an optional barbecue cookout and Wild West show. You’ll travel by horse-drawn covered wagon into Cache Creek Canyon and experience dinner and entertainment before returning to Jackson. (CB)
  7. Day 7
    JACKSON
    Time to relax in Jackson or maybe embark on an optional scenic trip down the Snake River. Enjoy an 8-mile float trip that passes nesting areas of bald eagles, ospreys and a plethora of other bird species and wildlife. The afternoon is free to explore the historic downtown area of Jackson.
  8. Day 8
    JACKSON–SALT LAKE CITY
    Today, travel 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 the Capitol Building, and the beautiful downtown area.
  9. Day 9
    SALT LAKE CITY
    Your vacation ends this morning. You may choose to extend your vacation with extra nights and explore Salt Lake City further. (B)

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!
