Loved this trip, got to meet some awesome people and even got to do some hikes that weren't on the itinerary but were on my bucket list. All in all I couldn't of asked for a better trip

Travel Rocky Mountains your way
Utah's multi-day hiking tours take you right into the heart of some seriously impressive national parks. Our travelers love wading through the Virgin River between massive canyon walls on the Zion Narrows route, and the trek up to Scout Lookout really pays off with wide open views across the valley. The guides make all the difference - they'll get you to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park at just the right moment for perfect sunset shots and show you the best spots for early morning wildlife watching. If you're up for sleeping under some of the clearest, star-filled skies you'll ever see, go for the camping tours where guides cook up great meals and share local stories around the campfire. Or pick a lodge-based trip that gives you full days of hiking but with a proper bed waiting for you each night.

See all Coach / Bus toursThe American West reveals itself best through our wildlife-focused tours in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Small groups of 8-12 people give you real flexibility - when a bear or wolf appears, you can quickly stop and take it in. Our guides know exactly when and where to position you: early morning in Lamar Valley for wolves, evening hours near the treeline for bears, and throughout the day for roaming bison herds. The routes blend well-known sites like Old Faithful with quiet corners that most people miss. Along the way, you'll stop at the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum and drive the scenic Chief Joseph Highway. Our travelers often tell us how much they appreciate having naturalist guides who can share deep knowledge about the wildlife and landscapes they're seeing.

Best places to start your Rocky Mountains tour
Las Vegas serves as the main starting point for these western journeys, with 40% of our guests flying in there, followed by Jackson, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and also St. George. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your dates about 4 months ahead, especially if you're planning a summer trip when wildlife is most active or during the golden aspen season in fall. July through September gives you the best mix of hiking weather and animal sightings, though we see travelers enjoying every season - from snow-covered winter landscapes to spring's powerful waterfalls. Many of our photographers have discovered that May and early June hit a sweet spot: good weather, fewer people on the trails and also perfect light for capturing the dramatic mountain scenery.
Discover Rocky Mountains tours for every budget
Looking for solid value in the Southwest? Several camping tours really deliver while keeping costs down. A popular 7-day route takes you through the best spots - you'll wade through Zion's Narrows, explore Bryce Canyon's strange rock formations and join local Navajo guides for a 4x4 run through Monument Valley. The campsites aren't bare-bones either - you get hot showers, WiFi and proper facilities throughout. Our customers love soaking in the outdoor hot tubs at Bryce after walking the trails all day. If you're short on time, there's also a quick 3-day option covering Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley with hotel stays each night. The best value comes from tours that wrap entrance fees and guided activities right into the base price.
The luxury Southwest experience centers on carefully chosen lodges right inside the national parks. A 10-day journey puts you in historic spots like Bryce Canyon Lodge and properties along the Grand Canyon rim. You'll get special moments too - private sunset views of Bryce's color-shifting formations followed by three-course dinners with local musicians playing nearby. There's also a great 7-day option featuring farm-to-table meals and visits with local organic growers. The premium touches go beyond nice rooms - you'll get special access to Desert View Point's Intertribal Cultural Heritage Site and private time with tribal experts in Monument Valley. Our travelers often mention how the tour directors handle all the details while staying flexible for impromptu wildlife watching and photo stops.

Top Rocky Mountains travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our 3-day Rocky Mountain tours pack a lot into a quick getaway from Las Vegas. You'll see Zion's tall cliffs and the unique hoodoo rock formations at Bryce Canyon. Our travelers really like hiking the Narrows in Zion and checking out Emerald Pools before heading to Monument Valley. The Navajo-guided 4x4 drive through the valley consistently ranks as people's favorite part. Many routes add Antelope Canyon - we time the visits perfectly for the best light conditions. The last day takes you to either the Grand Canyon's South Rim or Lake Powell, with optional helicopter rides for a different perspective. These shorter trips work well if you're active and want to make the most of limited time, starting early and filling each day with exploration.
Don't miss out on visiting:
Las Vegas, Grand Canyon National Park, Page, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park
Week-long tours give you more time to really explore the region. Starting from Denver or Las Vegas, these routes mix famous parks with quieter spots. Our customers talk a lot about the contrast between Arches' 2,000+ natural stone arches and the deep valleys carved by rivers in Canyonlands. Most trips stop at Monument Valley with overnight stays right on the rim - the stargazing here is incredible according to our travelers. You'll get guided walks through Zion's Virgin River Narrows and along Bryce Canyon's rim trail. Many groups choose the sunrise jeep tour in Monument Valley and explore Antelope Canyon with local Navajo guides. Having 7 days means there's time for proper hiking, including trails that take you down into the Grand Canyon itself.
Don't miss out on visiting:
Jackson, Yellowstone National Park
Ten-day journeys let you really get to know the Rockies. From Las Vegas, you'll visit Utah's complete "Mighty 5" national parks plus spend extra time in Colorado. Our travelers especially like staying inside the parks - particularly at Bryce Canyon Lodge where sunrise viewpoints are just a short walk away. You'll explore Mesa Verde's ancient cliff homes and take walks with "Canyon Tim" at the Grand Canyon. Many routes include Capitol Reef and the remote landscapes of Grand Staircase-Escalante. These longer trips stand out because you can join local experiences - like having dinner with Navajo families in Monument Valley and discovering hidden archaeological sites in Mystery Valley with tribal guides.

Solo travelers love our hiking-focused tours that mix physical challenges with great social connections. The 9-day Utah parks camping tour is a favorite - you'll share cooking and campfire stories while conquering serious trails like Angels Landing and also the Narrows in Zion. Our travelers often tell us how quickly everyone becomes friends through these shared experiences. For a good balance, the 7-day Southwest tours combine guided hikes with personal time and comfortable lodging each night. Having all the details taken care of while keeping independence during free time in places like Moab and also Springdale really matters to our solo guests.
Couples generally pick tours mixing active exploration with quiet moments together.

Some tours blend camping and lodge stays - our couples say they enjoy starting with nights under the stars before moving to comfy rooms. The 7-day private tours are especially popular since couples can adjust the pace and linger at scenic spots. Our couples frequently mention how guides know just the right quiet places away from crowds to take in views together.
Young adults consistently pick our more challenging itineraries. The Utah parks camping tours are particularly popular - you'll tackle the water-filled Narrows hike, try technical canyoneering near Moab and camp under some of the darkest skies you'll ever see. These routes include plenty of stops at photo spots like Horseshoe Bend and also Antelope Canyon. For those with limited vacation time, our 3-day tours pack in serious hiking, jeep tours and cultural experiences. Young professionals tell us they love the social vibe of small groups while still getting to tackle difficult trails.

Summer is prime time for wildlife and long days of exploration. The combined Yellowstone and Grand Teton tours are our most popular, with early morning safaris regularly spotting grizzlies, wolves, moose and also bison. Utah's national park camping circuits work really well in summer - you'll cool off wading through Zion's Narrows, check out Bryce Canyon's rock formations and enjoy incredibly clear night skies from camp. Our travelers love soaking in the outdoor hot tubs at Bryce after a full day's hiking. The Monument Valley tours with Navajo guides add rich cultural context to the landscape. We schedule most activities for early morning or sunset to dodge the heat and catch good photo light.

Looking at the Rocky Mountain tour operators, Brush Buck stands out for its wildlife tours - our travelers particularly like guides Mike and Daniel who really know their animals and tracking. They've got solid expertise but you should know there have been some issues with their response times and updates. Bindlestiff Tours offers both camping and hotel stays, and their guides Rachel, Khriss and also JD get great feedback for making trips engaging and smooth. Just keep in mind that during peak summer heat, some of our customers found the camping portions a bit challenging on their longer routes. For those wanting more creature comforts, Bamba Experience provides quality hotels and comfortable transport between sites. The catch is that a few travelers noticed their actual daily activities didn't always match up exactly with what was listed online. It's worth double-checking the specific itinerary details when booking with them. I'd suggest comparing a few specific tour dates and routes from these operators since the experiences can vary quite a bit depending on when you go and what you're hoping to see in the Rockies. Each has their strong points but also areas where they could improve.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter brings out a different character in Southwest parks. Our groups love watching black wolves, elk and bison move across Yellowstone's snowy terrain - they really stand out against the white landscape. The multi-day tours include cozy lodges where you can warm up after exploring, and you'll get full park access without summer's busy crowds. Over in Monument Valley, Navajo guides share deep knowledge of the area as red sandstone towers occasionally wear caps of fresh snow. Many travelers combine their Grand Canyon visit with Antelope Canyon, where winter's low sun angle creates special lighting conditions in the narrow slot canyons.
