Join us for an 8 day guided car caravan tour of America's most iconic scenery

From the stunning mountain peaks of the Tetons to the geysers and wildlife of Yellowstone to the magnificence of Mt. Rushmore, every day of this tour is a sensory overload.

Beginning in Salt Lake City, we'll venture to Jackson Hole, one of the most charming small towns in America. From there, we'll caravan into Grand Teton National Park as the snow-capped mountains amaze your eyes. We'll also spend a full day exploring Yellowstone, a park teeming with wildlife and wild geothermal features. The second half of the trip takes us into the Black Hills of South Dakota for great driving roads, and, of course, Mt. Rushmore. We'll also make a quick run out to the Badlands before celebrating it all with dinner in Rapid City, SD at our historic hotel.

Like some of our other tours, this trip is done in a “car caravan” style… Guests bring whatever they’d like to drive to the starting point (car, truck, SUV, rental, etc.) and travel in a caravan of no more than 18 cars from destination to destination.
