Schedule Details

Day 1: Salt Lake City - Idaho Falls

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.
