【2CanGo】American West Yellowstone Essence 3-Day Tour

Depending on your arrival time, your tour guide will pick you up either from Salt Lake City Airport or from a hotel of your choosing. If you'd like to start your tour from an area other than Salt Lake City, please let us know and we'll make arrangements.

If you arrive at Salt Lake City Airport before 12:00 PM, your tour guide will pick you up and take you to various sites in Salt Lake City, including Temple Square, Utah State Capitol, and Beehive House. If you arrive at Salt Lake City Airport after 12:00 PM, you will be taken directly to the Salt Lake City Hotel to rest. If it is too late to visit the attractions, we will not refund the fee.

Temple Square is often seen as the capital of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormons. This historic area contains the world-famous Salt Lake City Temple, Tabernacle, and Beehive House, all important sights that must be seen!

The Beehive House was one of the official residences of Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Beehive House gets its name from the beehive sculpture atop the house.

Modeled after the US Capitol Building in Washington DC, the Utah State Capitol Building is both stunning and beautiful. This building is the seat of government for all of Utah, containing the chambers and offices of the Utah State Legislature, the offices of the Governor, and the Attorney General.

The Utah Governor's Mansion is the official residence of the Governor of Utah and family. The elegant home was built using the finest materials by the finest craftsmen available, resulting in a quality and style similar to that of Eastern mansions.

The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, located in the northwestern part of Utah. The dry natural environment of the Great Salt Lake is similar to the famous Dead Sea in the world.

Antelope Island State Park is found in the midst of the Great Salt Lake, a large body of saltwater often compared to the Dead Sea. On a calm day, the sky reflects off the lake, offering a stark contrast with the desert mountains of Utah.

After visiting at least one stop on the itinerary, we'll drive 3 hours north to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Upon arriving, you will have dinner and then we'll drop you off at a local hotel, allowing you to rest before the next day's adventure.

After leaving Idaho Falls, your tour guide will take you to Jackson Hole, a quaint Western town in Wyoming known for its artwork and cowboys. It is a famous American cowboy city in southern Wyoming. Jackson's Antler Park is a famous symbol of Jackson's town. The four arched corners of the park are made up of more than 7,700 elk antlers.

Then we will head to explore Grand Teton National Park, which currently holds the title of "the most beautiful national park". We will visit at the best photo spots, so you can savor the beauty of the Teton Mountains and Jackson Lake. You will have a great chance of seeing moose, wolves, coyotes, bighorn sheep, mule deer, bison, elk, bison, grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, eagles, and much more! Take a walk to Inspiration Point or enjoy a scenic stroll around Jenny Lake while gazing up in awe at the surrounding landscape. Have a picnic, spot a moose or even a grizzly bear, and enjoy the serenity of this remarkable place. Take a cruise on Jackson Lake to explore the beautiful scenery and literally place yourself in the shadow of Mount Moran while you learn about local history, geology, and folklore and take in the sights, including 10,000-year-old glacial water flowing into Jackson Lake. With knowledgeable guides, you will learn about the history and geology of the area as well as the flora and fauna around the lake.

Notice: Dates and times are subject to change based on water, weather, and trail conditions.

After basking in the majestic beauty of the Grand Tetons, you will continue the adventure to Yellowstone National Park, located in the northwest corner of Wyoming in the Midwestern United States, extending northwest to Idaho and Montana. It is the world's first national park and is home to one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.

As one of America’s most famous National Parks, Yellowstone is sure to amaze even the most experienced traveler! This park is home to many hot springs, geysers, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons, Old Faithful fountain, large prism hot springs, and mammoth hot springs, which are all certainly wonders of nature. Depending on your preferences, your tour guide will either take you to see the Northern or Southern section of Yellowstone.
