Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
The soul of the American West... Naturally inspiring, the landscapes of the American West challenge the imagination with jaw-dropping canyons, gurgling mud pots, geysers, and wide-open spaces... while towering mountains are a study in contrast, harboring wildlife and man-made wonders.
Larger-than-life sculptures reside in the Black Hills... cowboys and ranches define Wyoming's northern landscapes... Yellowstone National Park compels with natural treasures that never fail to evoke pride... and the jagged granite peaks of the Tetons contrast with forests and rivers below. This is the American West, the true American West – and if you ever doubt you're in the heart and soul of it, just wait until you step foot in the town of Cody, where adventurous stories of the "Old" West are heard again and again... and the rodeo reigns supreme. Explore Yellowstone's amazing geothermal features... the colossal Black Hills masterpieces of Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial... the peaks and glaciers of the Tetons... Wyoming's ranch country...

1Arrive Jackson
Tour begins: 6:00 PM, Jackson Lake Lodge. A transfer is included from Jackson Hole Airport to the Jackson Lake Lodge inside Grand Teton National Park. Welcome to Wyoming's iconic western landscape of vast grasslands and towering mountain ranges, the historic town of Jackson, and majestic Grand Teton National Park with its jagged peaks, glaciers, lakes, and dense forest. Join us for tonight's welcome reception and dinner at your scenic lakeside resort in the heart of the national park.

2Snake River rafting, Mormon Row & Jackson
Today, view some of North America's most spectacular mountain scenery – and keep an eye peeled for wildlife ranging from moose and elk to beavers and bald eagles – during a ten-mile float trip* along the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park; there's no better vantage point than your raft on the river from which to gape at (or photograph) the majestic peaks of the Tetons. Then pay a brief visit to the park's Mormon Row Historic District, whose preservation is being supported by a major grant from Tauck. A homesteaders' settlement dating back to 1890 located in an undeveloped area of the park, Mormon Row is home to a number of weathered historic structures – including the iconic T.A. Moulton barn, an unofficial symbol of the park – that (along with their dramatic Teton Range backdrop) attract photographers from around the world, and convey the sense that you've traveled back in time. Continue on to the historic and trendy Western town of Jackson, gateway to the Tetons and the Jackson Hole region, for an afternoon spent as you please. Enjoy dinner at your inside-the-park lodge tonight.

3On to amazing Yellowstone
This morning, you may want to peruse American Indian artwork and artifacts on display at the Colter Bay visitor center before heading out of Grand Teton National Park and traveling to Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872 as the world's first national park, known for its unique geothermal activity. Arrive at your historic lodge, the Old Faithful Inn, in time for lunch – it's just steps away from Old Faithful Geyser, shooting up to 184 feet in the air approximately every 90 minutes. Learn more about this phenomenon and check out the Upper Geyser Basin (which includes Old Faithful and many more) with a local guide this afternoon; enjoy dinner at your leisure at your classic inside-the-park lodging close to Old Faithful itself.

4A Geologic Wonderland
With 10,000 hot springs, thundering waterfalls, two-thirds of all geysers in the world and endless forests, Yellowstone inspires awe. Explore its geologic wonders – including hundreds of geysers, brilliantly colored hot springs, steaming fumaroles and more – that early 19th-century skeptics found too astounding to be believed as you follow the Lower Grand Loop Road to Fountain Paint Pot's collection of colorful, bubbling mud pots. Then view the dramatic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, carved by the churning waters of the Yellowstone River. Make your way through Hayden Valley before arriving for an overnight at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and Cabins, where you'll settle in and have dinner this evening.

- Breakfast

5Buffalo Bill's Cody
Leaving the mountains for the open grazing land of western Wyoming, arrive in the quintessential 1890s town of Cody, named for its famous founder, William "Buffalo Bill" Cody – buffalo hunter, army scout, Wild West Show entrepreneur, and tireless inventor of tall tales. For an authentic picture of the art and culture of the Wild West – and the life and legend of Mr. Cody himself – visit the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a complex of five museums that will immerse you in American Western culture and mythology: the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, the Draper Museum of Natural History, the Cody Firearms Museum, the Plains Indian Museum and the Buffalo Bill Museum. More western fun beckons during an overnight stay in Cody this evening, as you attend the world-famous Cody Nite Rodeo (seasonal, June through August), a fixture here since 1938.

Accommodations: Holiday Inn(R) Cody at Buffalo Bill Village -

6Heart Mountain, the Bighorns & The Ranch at Ucross
Depart Cody this morning for a meaningful visit to the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, set against the stark backdrop of the Absaroka Range. Located on the site of a former Japanese American internment camp, the center offers a thoughtful and immersive look at this chapter of American history. During your guided visit, explore exhibits that trace the experiences of those who lived here, and step inside a restored barrack to gain a sense of daily life in the camp. Personal stories, artifacts, and film bring added perspective, offering a deeper understanding of resilience, community, and the lasting impact of these events. Following your visit, continue your journey into the Bighorn Mountains, where the landscape opens into wide valleys, forested slopes, and high mountain passes. Along the way, pause to take in the natural beauty of the region before descending into the sweeping plains beyond. Arrive at The Ranch at Ucross in the late afternoon, a working Wyoming ranch set amid open pastureland and big sky views. Settle in before gathering for dinner, followed by time to relax and take in the quiet rhythm of ranch life.

Continue on to one of America's best-known icons – Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where the faces of former presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln are carved into granite bluffs; learn about the monument's creation.
