DAY BY DAY TOUR ITINERARY

Day 1

After arriving in Salt Lake City and checking into your hotel, your guide and driver will have a welcome meeting in the hotel so you can meet your fellow travellers.

Today we will have a driving tour around the city and visit the Mormon Tabernacle and other Salt Lake attractions. This evening we will go out as a group and enjoy local cuisine and entertainment.

Today we bid farewell to Utah and make the short journey to Ogden, Utah - home of the famous singing group The Osmonds. After checking into your hotel you will have the rest of the day to explore this beautiful Rocky Mountain town.

Today we will escort you to the Historic 25th Street area - from its Frontier days to the eclectic energy of today, it's safe to say that you haven't been to Ogden until you have been to HE25! You wouldn’t visit New Orleans without hitting Bourbon Street. You wouldn’t visit Memphis without checking out Beale Street. So you don’t come to Ogden without making time for Historic 25 Street.

As we say goodby to Utah, we travel via Idaho Falls to Jackson Hole where we are literally on Yellowstone National Parks doorstep. The combination of wildlife, wide-open spaces, jagged peaks, and Wild West culture is what makes Jackson one of the top year-round destinations in the world. The unique elk antler arches around the Jackson Town Square are one of the most photographed spots, then there’s the food and art
After check in and a short time to relax and enjoy your new surroundings, we will spend the evening enjoying local dining and entertainment spots

Today it is time to visit the world's first national park. Yellowstone became the first national park in March 1872, for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife, geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view wonders like "Old Faithful". We'll spend the day enjoying beautiful surroundings before returning to Jackson for another evening of local entertainment.
As we continue our journey we will head into Big Sky Country - and Bozeman, Montana. If you have watched the TV series Yellowstone the city's name may be familiar to you! This mountain town is anything but sleepy. You'll have plenty time to stroll along Bozeman’s downtown Main Street to find a foodie’s paradise, concerts and local events.
­ ­

Today after a sightseeing tour of the local area, you will have time to relax around town before getting ready for a night out on the town!

After breakfast we will say goodbye to Montana and head back into Wyoming for the Wild West Town of Cody! Here we will visit the Buffalo Bill Center of the West which is home to five museums documenting the saga of the Wild West: the Draper Natural History Museum, Cody Firearms Museum, Whitney Western Art Museum, Buffalo Bill Museum, and Plains Indian Museum, which hosts a traditional powwow every June. This evening we'll enjoy music and dining in the downtown area.

Today in the self-proclaimed “Rodeo Capital of the World” we'll learn about all things pioneer, in this spirited community that preserves its history and celebrates its position as a gateway to Yellowstone. Steer yourself to downtown’s Irma Hotel, built by Buffalo Bill himself. Catch The Wild Bunch reenacting a shootout in front of the hotel in summer, which is Cody’s most vibrant season. Take a Cody Trolley Tour to see the Buffalo Bill Reservoir, pioneer homes, and the historic district. Stroll through Old Trail Town, which features 25 restored historic buildings just off the Yellowstone Highway. Then this evening, we'll visit the Cody Nite Rodeo which is a unique and thrilling event that offers visitors a taste of the authentic cowboy experience. Enjoy both seasoned professionals and amateur riders competing in various events, including bull riding, barrel racing, and team roping.

This morning after breakfast we will travel to Buffalo, Wyoming which is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains. Buffalo's main street has more than a dozen historic buildings, including the Occidental Hotel where Owen Wister's Virginian finally "got his man."

This morning we will make our way to Cheyenne, home of the famous Frontier Days. After checking in and relaxing for a short time, we will. spend our first evening enjoying the local entertainment in the downtown area.
Frontier Days may have started as a cowboy round-up, featuring bronco-busting contests and pony races, but today this Western Celebration is the world's largest outdoor rodeo. For the next two days, we are going to enjoy all the rodeo fun on offer. This evening, you may want to take in a big-name show or perhaps enjoy local entertainment in town.

It's another day of rodeo action and behind-the-chutes tours, trick riding and a wild-horse race. Visit the Native American Village, an old frontier town, a saloon, dancing, a chuck wagon cook-off, pancake breakfasts and an art show that carry through the frontier theme. A carnival midway, an air show, top-name entertainment, professional bull riding shows and several parades including antique carriages and automobiles ar also on offer at Frontier Days.
