strengthens family ties, from Grand Teton National Park to Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park
Day 5 – Visit Cody, “Rodeo Capital of the World” Step back in time to the days of the Old West in historic Cody, founded by frontiersman Buffalo Bill Cody in 1896, the best-known spokesman for the New West. Learn more about his quest to lure settlers to the western frontier at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, home to the world’s largest collection of artifacts depicting the culture, history and art of the American West. Admission to his famous Wild West Show in the late 1800s was 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults! It’s off to the rodeo tonight, where stunts will be performed by steer wrestlers, buckin’ broncos, barrel riders and rodeo clowns – a memorable show! Meals BD
Day 6 – Spend a night at a real western ranch Today’s drive through Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains includes some pretty amazing sights – watch for cowboys at work in the high altitude grasslands, a spectacular waterfall, all kinds of wildflowers, and deep canyons that make you see how this area was a real part of the “wild west.” Your destination today is The Ranch at Ucross, where you can get a taste of cowboy life during an overnight stay. The ranch offers many activities for family fun – take a leisurely horseback ride*; catch a big Brown or Rainbow in Piney Creek or the ranch’s stocked trout pond; relax by the heated pool; pitch horseshoes; or hunt for frogs by the pond. A campfire in the evening caps a perfect day. Meals BLD
Day 7 – See Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore You’ll see some of the world’s largest sculptures today, nestled in the Black Hills of South Dakota. View the work-in-progress at Crazy Horse Memorial, which is one of the world’s largest mountain carvings, before a special visit to Mt. Rushmore National Monument. Nothing compares to seeing the four famous presidential faces carved into rock – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt – in person. You’ll hear stories about how 400 workers spent 14 years creating the dream of sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Your week-long trip through the “best of the West” comes to an end this evening with a farewell dinner. Meals BLD
