Yellowstone by Air

Day 1

An afternoon flight to Jackson Hole, WY will get us to our Jackson lodging for tonight by mid-evening.

Day 2

You will have the morning to sleep in with some time for shopping and exploration of Jackson, a rugged western town. Please meet your driver and escort, with your luggage, at the hotel at 12:00 PM. After an orientation drive of the Teton's majestic landscape including lovely Jenny Lake, we will travel to our lodging for the next two nights in Yellowstone National Park. Dinner will be at our leisure.

Day 3

Enjoy breakfast on your own before a full day of sightseeing. Our sightseeing will begin with a tour of our largest and best-known national park - Yellowstone. The central portion of the park is a broad, volcanic plateau with an altitude of between 7,000 and 8,500 feet. Mountain ranges on almost every side rise 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the enclosed tableland. Yellowstone's most outstanding phenomena are its thousands of thermal spectacles comprising the world's largest geyser basins. Bursts of scalding water spurt high into the air from some geysers, while others bubble and spit in murky depths. There will be time for lunch on our own during today's touring. Dinner will be at our leisure.

Day 4

Breakfast will be on our own this morning. Today's sightseeing will include Sylvan Pass and Shoshone Canyon enroute to the western town of Cody, WY. There will be time for lunch on our own before our next attraction. This afternoon we will visit the Buffalo Bill Museum, plus you will have free time to stroll through town before we check-in to our lodging and enjoy a dinner and show at Cody Cattle Company.

Day 5

After breakfast at the hotel, we will continue our travels. Panoramic views of Shoshone and Bighorn Mountain will enhance our drive as we travel through towns called Greybull, Buffalo, and through Powder River Pass at an altitude of 9,666 feet. Stops will be made for photo opportunities & lunch on our own. A short visit to the Devils Tower will be made. Our lodging this evening will be in Deadwood, SD. This evening will be free to enjoy Deadwood at our leisure.

Day 6

Following breakfast, our day will begin with a trip down Historic Main Street in Deadwood, where a legend of the west, Wild Bill Hickok, was shot and killed. You will hear about Deadwood's beginnings, the founding of the town, where it got its name, and Custer's expedition through the hills which led to the gold rush that started it all. A stop at Mt. Moriah Cemetery will allow a visit to the gravesite of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and a view of Deadwood from 300 feet above! Next, we will visit magnificent Mount Rushmore where the heads of our four greatest Presidents - Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt - loom off the face of a 600-foot granite mountain. Enjoy lunch on your own during our visit to Mount Rushmore. We'll also visit the Chief Crazy Horse Carving which will be the largest statue in the world when completed. Later we will visit Custer State Park which is the habitat for one of the world's largest free-roaming bison herds. A Jeep Tour of the park and a buffalo dinner will also be enjoyed before we check-in to our Custer, SD lodging.

Day 7

This morning we'll shuttle to the airport for our flight home. A Perkiomen motorcoach will be waiting for the transfer home.
