Day 1- Jackson, WY
Departing Salt Lake City, this fast favorite starts off in the rustic cowboy town of Jackson, Wyoming. Absorb the relaxed western feel of town, see the rodeo, and raft the rapids on the good old Snake River.

Day 2- Grand Tetons National Park
On to the Grand Tetons and all their postcard charm. Hike yourself up the trails for a rewarding view that is hard to forget *scenic*. If you want to ride on a nice horsie, we can take you to one of the best and most beautiful ranches around for an unforgettable horseback ride.

Day 3, 4 - Yellowstone National Park
Next up we will explore the wonders of our first national park in Yellowstone. See the greatest concentration of geysers in the world, see the boiling mudpools, see the majestic Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and have a dip in the ‘hot on one side, cool on the other’ hot springs. Wildlife in Yellowstone is like nowhere else. Elk, moose, bear, wolves (rare), buffalo, coyote, ram, and bald eagle are a few of our animal friends you are likely to see.

Day 5, 6 - Glacier National Park
Now for the Montana portion of the trip. Glacier National Park is a well-kept secret and a gem of a park. Breathe the crisp, clean mountain air while you hike in this unreal setting of abundant natural beauty and feel like Grizzly Adams when you are done. There are over 700 miles of trails here making it a hikers paradise. This is the next best thing to Alpine hiking in the Alps.

Days 7- Missoula Missoula is a top-ranked adventure town and great place to discover. A young and energetic mountain town, it is the perfect launchpad for outdoor adventure of all types. This is one of the best places to try riverboarding (going down a river with a board and fins), and if you don’t want to get wet then how about some mountain biking? If you want to take it easy you can meander through the funky downtown area for fun or walk the popular hike’n’bike trail along the river. Like a bumper sticker says, “MONTANA, THE LAST GREAT PLACE.” Day 8- Salt Lake City Today is a travel day as we start the second part of the tour Day 9, 10 - Arches National Park/ Moab The glory rolls on as we take it to Arches National Park w/ it’s unique and unforgiving landscape. Delicate Arch is a must-see, you will wonder how Balanced Rock stays up, and Landscape Arch is simply awesome. And since we are in Moab, the mountain biking capital of the world, it might be a good idea to get a mountain bike for the day to hit the legendary Slickrock Trail. If you don’t like mountain biking you can canoe the nearby Colorado River or hit the funky downtown area. Or substitute w/ an off-road jeep, hummer, or ATV tour. Day 11 Lake Powell Lake Powell is next. Its gorgeous super-blue and temperate water makes a dip here most refreshing. Laze on the rock beach or revitalize with a leisurely swim in the cove. We can also see the rare slot canyons on a walk-through tour of these ever-so-smooth element-sculpted formations (bring your camera). Day 12 Grand Canyon National Park We then make way towards the incomparable Grand Canyon. Isn’t the Grand Canyon on everyone’s list? And with good reason! Take in the majestic sunrise and sunset. Hike the trails or putz around at the Rim while enjoying the breathtaking views and looking for the elusive California Condor that lives here. Days 13, 14 Zion National Park The adventure continues to Zion National Park where the hiking trails and surrounding scenery will knock you on your ear. This may be the best hiking we have found- if you want tough try Angels Landing for a rewarding experience, and if you want medium or soft then hike to the Emerald Pools. The next day is for canyoneering (hiking in a river where the river is the trail) for the adventurous type. In the afternoon we will do some extreme tubing on the Virgin River. You wont want to miss it. Day 15 Bryce Canyon National Park Today we visit one of the most unique parks anywhere, Bryce Canyon- nature’s sculpture garden. Hanging out with the hoodoos, this is a strangely spectacular landscape with an explosive contrast of colors, and you’ll want your camera during this hike. Later in the day we’ll make a splash doing some whitewater rafting down a scenic Central Utah route. Day 16 Las Vegas We say our goodbyes and return to Salt Lake City to wrap up a great journey.
