You’ll then stay for two nights at Moab’s Redcliffs Lodge, which is great for wellness, with yoga and horse riding among its offerings.

Moving onto Salt Lake City, where you’ll stay in the Grand America Hotel with its pools and spa, you’ll get two days to explore the Utah capital and world Mormon capital. From here you’ll continue into Wyoming, where Jackson Hole awaits with its fishing, rafting, ranches, and fine dining. The Wort Hotel, your base for a few days, offers historic charm and live music.
The following four nights are spent getting to know Yellowstone National Park. You’ll spend two of them in the Old Faithful Inn, a national historic landmark, built in 1904 with local logs and stone, and located a short walk from the famous geyser of the same name.
You’ll also spend a night in Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel with elk grazing right outside.

Your last night here will be at the cosy Cody Hotel with its indoor pool, hot tub, and roaring fires.
Sheridan beckons next: Wyoming’s ‘emerald city’, with dramatic vistas of the Bighorn Mountains. After a night at the historic Sheridan Inn with its rooms named after the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley, you’ll drive to South Dakota, spending two nights at Rapid City’s landmark Hotel Alex Johnson as you discover local sights – the most famous of which is Mount Rushmore, the vast sculpture of four US presidents.
