With hot spring pools and a real chuckwagon dinner in Durango, Navajo stories in Monument Valley, cave dwellings in Mesa Verde, hiking, rafting, and more, experience a week of western fun in nature's amazing playgrounds – with a stay in a safari-style hotel, a two-star Michelin hideaway in the desert near Utah's national parks.
Turn back time to the days of the wild west, very much alive in the places you will visit on this fun-filled western adventure. Explore one of the most historic cowboy towns in Colorado, the ancient cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde and spiritual Monument Valley. Meet cowboys at a chuckwagon dinner, learn about Navajo culture and discover naturally sculpted treasures in Arches National Park. Along the way, you'll experience a living history lesson, past and present, that showcases stories about the people and places you'll discover together.
Stroll the streets of Durango, a Nationally Registered Historic District, cowboy spirit in hand, during a two-night stay that includes a mountain hike, a dip in hot springs popular for centuries, a chuckwagon dinner with gold panning, wagon and train rides and more. Saddle up for a trail ride at a local ranch, then continue to your lodge in Mesa Verde National Park, where a private tour of an ancient Cliff Palace, a Navajo presentation and a 4x4 Jeep tour of Monument Valley promise two days of non-stop cultural discoveries. Luxury safari-style tents in Moab take camping to new heights for every generation to enjoy during a star-filled three-night stay in the great outdoors. Add exploring sandstone formations in Arches National Park, Colorado river rafting, and dinosaur discoveries at Moab Giants and make the history of the wild west come alive with family memories of your own.
