AY 2027 Map
Experience the American West the way it was meant to be seen—up close, unhurried, and surrounded by some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. This Small Group Discovery tour combines iconic national parks, historic landmarks, and unforgettable lodge stays for a journey filled with comfort, character, and adventure. Wake each morning inside the heart of the West’s most spectacular landscapes, from the pine-covered hills of Custer State Park to the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone National Park, and the rugged peaks of the Grand Teton National Park.

Enjoy two relaxing nights at the historic State Game Lodge in Custer State Park, once known as President Calvin Coolidge’s “Summer White House. Settle into the warm, rustic charm of Yellowstone’s legendary park lodges, where geysers, wildlife, and dramatic scenery are just outside your door. Then, unwind during a two-night stay at the Rustic Inn in Jackson Hole beneath the majestic Teton Range.

Along the way, stand before the monumental faces of Mount Rushmore, enjoy exclusive access at Crazy Horse Memorial, marvel at the striking formations of Badlands National Park, stroll the steaming terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, and take in the awe-inspiring beauty of Grand Teton National Park.

With smaller group sizes, immersive experiences, and more time in the places that matter most, this journey through South Dakota and Wyoming blends natural wonder, Western heritage, and authentic local connections.

Add in currency conversions and language barriers and you have one hair-pulling project on your hands. A tour handles all the hassles, while you have all the fun.
