    Three days by coach — explore Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, featuring unique geothermal wonders and diverse wildlife.

    This tour is excellently organized and flows smoothly. It enables you to see the key locations in the park. There’s enough downtime for visits and restroom breaks.

    Our visit to Antelope Island was fantastic! Cody, our guide, demonstrated extensive knowledge about the region. He was committed to showcasing the wildlife and worked hard to find us places to observe them. On our trip, we witnessed a pack of bison running and rolling in the dirt.main364

  5. Three-day tour of Yellowstone and Grand Teton from Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City8

    8. Three-day tour of Yellowstone and Grand Teton from Salt Lake City

    4.0· 32 reviews· 3 days

    Three days by comfortable transport — Yellowstone’s geysers, Grand Teton’s peaks, and wildlife encounters, with hotel stays and park admissions included.

    The tour was fantastic! Our guide Milo was knowledgeable and connected well with everyone. However, the trip is quite demanding for seniors, involving long walks and many stairs, which we found exhausting. There were a few issues: the motel accommodations were not up to par, and the Ford Van was overcrowded, with passengers squeezed in over the wheel well. Considering the long drives, the company should prioritize guest comfort over maximizing profits. I also suggest they clearly inform potential customers about the trip's intensity so seniors can make an informed choice beforehand. One mother and daughter left the tour on the second day due to the challenging pace.cherylsT9521FH

    9. Half-day tour to Bonneville Salt Flats from Salt Lake City

    4.0· 2 reviews

    Four hours round-trip — visit the Bonneville Salt Flats and the legendary raceway, with time for iconic photos in a surreal landscape.

    The geological features and unique nature will definitely capture the interest of city dwellers, particularly those visiting from outside Utah.Frederick_F
