Yellowstone & Rocky Mountain Explorer

Start & end in Las Vegas 7 days Up to 14

About this trip

Seven days on the road from Las Vegas, camping your way through three of the West's big-name national parks. It is a proper cross-country loop, covering a lot of ground between Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and Bryce Canyon, with a few unexpected stops thrown in along the way.

The days are built around walking and hiking, with routes pitched at all abilities, so you do not need to be a seasoned trekker to keep up. Nights are spent camping, which keeps things simple and puts you right in the landscape rather than driving past it.

What you'll do

  • Hike trails in Yellowstone National Park
  • Explore the Grand Tetons on foot
  • Walk among the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon
  • Stop in Salt Lake City
  • Visit Valley of Fire State Park
  • See Provo Lake
Good to know
  • Camping accommodation throughout, so pack for nights outdoors
  • Hikes are graded for all abilities rather than experienced trekkers only
  • A private version of the tour is available if your group can fill 8 seats
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're fit, flexible with comfort, and want genuine park access beyond standard stops. Think twice if you need proper showers, lots of hiking time, or prefer shorter van days.

  • Guides go the extra mile: surprise early morning wildlife trips, researching questions, fitting in extras beyond the itinerary.
  • Camping food is genuinely good—fresh stir-fries, salads, BBQs, healthy options. You help plan and cook meals communally.
  • Excessive van time from Las Vegas base leaves minimal hours for actual hiking and exploring at each site.
  • Camping comfort oversold as 'glamping': thin pads, sleeping bags lose air, no showers at some sites, basic facilities only.
