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. Begin in Denver, the "Mile High City," before following in the footsteps of frontier legends as you explore the landscapes, history, and national parks of the American West.

Travel through South Dakota's Black Hills to visit Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where the granite faces of four U.S. presidents are carved into the mountainside. Also visit Crazy Horse Memorial, an ongoing mountain carving honoring the Lakota leader. Continue to Cody, Wyoming, the frontier town founded by Buffalo Bill Cody in 1896.
Explore Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, where colorful geothermal features, Old Faithful geyser, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife—including bison, elk, moose, and bears—make every visit unique. Continue through Grand Teton National Park, where rugged mountain 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 Southwest and Rocky Mountains. Travel in daylight through red rock canyons, river valleys, mountain passes, and engineering marvels, with overnight stays in Moab, Utah, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and Denver.

From frontier towns and legendary landmarks to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and one of North America's most scenic rail journeys, this affordable vacation showcases the unforgettable landscapes and history of the American West
