Depending on your arrival time, your tour guide will either pick you up from the Salt Lake City Airport or from a hotel of your choosing. If you would like to commence your tour from a location other than Salt Lake City, please inform us, and we will make the necessary arrangements accordingly.

If your arrival at Salt Lake City Airport is before 12:00 PM, your tour guide will pick you up and take you to explore various sites in Salt Lake City, including Temple Square, the Utah State Capitol, and the Beehive House. Should your arrival at Salt Lake City Airport be after 12:00 PM, we will transport you directly to the Salt Lake City Hotel for some well-deserved rest. Please note that if it is too late to visit the attractions, no refund will be issued.

The tour will begin with your guide picking you up at Salt Lake City Airport. Based on your arrival time, the guide will determine which of the following attractions you will visit:

Temple Square is often regarded as the heart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), also known as the Mormons. In the late 1840s, when LDS pioneers first reached Utah, they resolved to construct a temple that would serve as the focal point of their religious community. Over time, the church expanded from this central location across Utah, the United States, and eventually the world. To this day, Temple Square remains the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, housing other historically significant structures such as the Tabernacle, the Beehive House, and the Conference Center. As you explore these buildings' exquisite architecture, you will also learn about the history of these early pioneers.

Inspired by the design of the US Capitol Building in Washington DC, the Utah State Capitol Building is a breathtaking masterpiece of architecture. Serving as the hub of government for Utah, the Capitol Building contains chambers for the Utah State Legislature, the Utah Supreme Court, and the office of the Utah Governor. Beyond its governmental role, the Capitol Building boasts remarkable artwork that depicts the state's history.

The Governor's Mansion serves as the official residence for the Governor of Utah and their family. Crafted using the finest materials and workmanship available, this elegant home exudes a quality and style reminiscent of Eastern mansions.

The Great Salt Lake, situated in the northwestern part of Utah, stands as the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. Its arid environment resembles that of the renowned Dead Sea.

Antelope Island State Park (Great Salt Lake) offers the opportunity to hike the Buffalo Point Trail, granting a panoramic view of the Great Salt Lake and the expansive countryside. Alternatively, you can explore the historic Fielding Garr Ranch or swim at Bridger Bay Beach, a sprawling sandy shoreline – the ideal spot for a refreshing swim in the Great Salt Lake.

The Hill Aerospace Museum provides an engaging glimpse into the history of military aviation in the United States. With a collection spanning over 100 planes, from the World War I Curtiss JN-4D to the "stealth fighter" Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, the museum caters to a diverse audience. Alongside military aircraft, visitors can explore exhibits featuring the World War II American Indian Code Talkers and the Wright Flier.

The next morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Idaho Falls to visit the longest artificial waterfall in the United States. After that, we will head to Twin Falls. At Upper Falls, a thunderous curtain of water – as tall as a 10-story building – pours over remnants of an ancient volcanic super-eruption. A mile south, Lower Falls repeats the performance, as the river continuously carves away at the solidified ash and lava. The beautiful Twin Falls is the last prominent waterfall on the Snake River unaffected by manmade influences. A scenic walking path leads to excellent viewpoints.

We'll then proceed to West Yellowstone, a small town just west of Yellowstone National Park. After a break, your guide will take you to see the most famous landmarks in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park, located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, extends northwest into Idaho and Montana.

From there, a short jaunt along the Inspiration Point Trail offers spectacular views – be sure to secure a season pass in advance.

Jackson Hole, a famed American cowboy town in southern Wyoming, showcases the iconic Antler Arches in Jackson's Antler Park. These arches, crafted from over 7,700 elk antlers, serve as a distinctive symbol of the town. Notably, around 7,500 elk seek refuge in the Elk Refuge Area during winter, with their antler angles naturally changing in spring.
