Tour overview

This 17-day holiday is a grand tour of the American West's national parks, designed for people travelling on their own with a room of your own and no single supplement. Return flights from London are included, and a holiday director hosts the group, which numbers between fifteen and twenty-seven. You stay fifteen nights in hotels, plus a night in flight, with breakfast daily.

From Denver you travel to the Black Hills for Mount Rushmore and the Wild West town of Deadwood, then visit the Little Bighorn battlefield. Two nights near Yellowstone bring geysers and wildlife, with a day in Grand Teton National Park.

Heading south through Salt Lake City, you explore Canyonlands and Arches, the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde and Monument Valley. The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion follow before the holiday ends in Las Vegas.
