Spend the evening around the campfire and after an all-American BBQ, enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.
Day 2 — Bryce Canyon to Salt Lake City

Stay overnight in Hotel Shilo Inn or similar.
Day 3 — Grand Tetons National Park
The Grand Tetons Mountain Range rises above a scene rich in wildlife, with pristine lakes and spectacular mountain peaks.

Have a picnic, spot moose or even a grizzly bear and enjoy the serenity of this remarkable place.
Camp overnight by the river at Camp Snake River KOA
Days 4 and 5 — Yellowstone National Park
The crown jewel and the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is a mountain wilderness home to grizzly bears, wolves and herds of buffalo and elk.
