(B,L) Day 3 - A close-up look inside Yellowstone National Park Today you'll travel from the Grand Tetons to America's first and most famous national park, spectacular Yellowstone - where your "home away from home" for the next two nights is just steps away from the famous Old Faithful Geyser! Keep an eye out for Yellowstone's diverse wildlife as you explore some of the famous features of the park -- whose geologic wonders include two-thirds of all the geysers in the world - with your Tauck Director. (B,D) Day 4 - Mud pots and more on a perfect Yellowstone vacation day Start your day in remarkable Yellowstone with a wildlife-spotting walk; endangered species from whooping cranes to gray wolves are protected here. See some of the 10,000 hot springs within the park, as well as bubbling pools of mud and volcanic calderas with an expert local guide; and, a short distance from your lodge, watch mighty Old Faithful shoot its plume of steam high into the air just about every hour - a highlight of any Yellowstone vacation! (B,L,D) Day 5 - Learn about Buffalo Bill's West and go to a rodeo Say goodbye to Yellowstone and head across Wyoming to historic Cody, founded by the famous "Buffalo Bill" Cody, from whom the town got its name. Glimpse the history, culture and art of the heyday of the American West at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, where multiple museums each tell a different side of the story. Have a western dinner and then thrill to bucking broncos, steer wrestlers, calf ropers and barrel riders at a real western rodeo tonight. (B,D) Day 6 - Bighorn Mountains and The Ranch at Ucross Journey through Wyoming's beautiful Bighorn Mountains today, past deep canyons, vast grasslands, and blankets of wildflowers to The Ranch at Ucross, a real working ranch, for a memorable overnight stay. Ranch experiences include an opportunity to go horseback riding*, fish for trout in Piney Creek or a stocked trout pond, swim in the pool, pitch some horseshoes or even hunt for frogs! Your time at the ranch is certain to be one of the highlights of your Grand Teton and Yellowstone vacation; top the night off with an old-fashioned campfire. (B,L,D) Day 7 - A tale of two carvings - Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore Depart the ranch and head for the Black Hills of South Dakota. Look up in wonder at the Crazy Horse Memorial, where you'll view the work in progress as artisans carve the likeness of the famous Lakota warrior out of the mountain; when completed, it will be the largest rock sculpture in the world. Then it's on to view the towering stone portraits of four American presidents at Mount Rushmore, one of the must-see landmark sights in the U.S. Join us for a farewell dinner this evening, and share delightful memories of your Cowboy Country Grand Teton and Yellowstone vacation.
