Tour · 18 nights · with Travelsphere
An 18-night escorted tour with Travelsphere that threads through America’s western national parks, from the Black Hills to the Grand Canyon, ending with a few days at Las Vegas for contrast and leisure.
Highlights
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Old Faithful geyser and Yellowstone Canyon
Cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park
Red rock formations of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks
Three days in Las VegasWith sightseeing opportunities
Travelsphere’s escorted holiday covers 18 nights across some of the American West’s most recognisable landscapes. The route begins in Denver before heading north to the Black Hills, where the monumental Mount Rushmore and the still-evolving Crazy Horse Memorial offer a glimpse into history carved in granite. Nearby, the Badlands’ sculpted ridges and eroded pinnacles hint at a landscape shaped over millions of years.
Journeys
The tour moves on to the wide-open spaces of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, where you’ll see Old Faithful’s predictable eruption and snow-capped peaks reflected in alpine lakes. Later, there’s a shift to red rock country with stops at Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, where an expert local guide adds context to these ancient stone homes.
After visits to Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon — the latter a mile deep and vast enough to humble — the itinerary finishes with several days in Las Vegas. That in itself is a change of pace; its neon lights and fountains are a reminder that not all marvels of the West are natural. There’s plenty of free time to explore at leisure before the journey draws to a close.
