National Parks of the Northwest with Calgary Stampede

12 days from Salt Lake City to Calgary
Immerse yourself in the beauty of North America’s great outdoors as you journey through four spectacular national parks in the United States and Canada. Discover the soaring peaks and pristine lakes of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park before exploring the incredible geothermal landscapes of Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first national park. Spanning more than two million acres, Yellowstone is home to the largest concentration of geothermal features on Earth, including the iconic Old Faithful Geyser. Watch it erupt, marvel at the thundering Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and keep an eye out for bison, elk, moose, bears, and other native wildlife.

Continue to Montana’s Glacier National Park for a guided tour aboard a vintage Red Jammer bus and a scenic drive along the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass. Then cross into Canada for an overnight stay in picturesque Waterton Lakes National Park in the Canadian Rockies.

Along the way, discover the remarkable stories behind Earthquake Lake Visitor Center and the powerful 1959 earthquake that reshaped the landscape, and learn about the courageous wildfire firefighters at Smokejumper Visitor Center. Visit Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to learn about the Indigenous Peoples who relied on the vast buffalo herds of the Great Plains.

Cap off your adventure in Calgary at the world-famous Calgary Stampede, known as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth."
