West Coast Tours

Western United States

Home to some of the country's most inspiring destinations, the western U.S. is a treasure trove awaiting discovery. Tours of America's West can take you across the frontier to Colorado to explore the rugged Rocky Mountains and the historic towns that dot their peaks. Ride heritage rail lines through the stunning landscape or continue to destinations such as Salt Lake City, the cowboy town of Jackson, and San Francisco with smooth connections to places like Muir Woods with its Giant Sequoia groves and Yosemite National Park, home to Yosemite Falls - the highest waterfall in North America - as well as Half Dome and El Capitan.

Other West Coast tours focus on America's beautiful national parks, where the grandeur of nature surrounds at every turn. Montana's Glacier National Park is home to glacier-carved mountains and one of the country's most famous roadways, Going-to-the-Sun Road. At Yellowstone National Park, an incredible variety of flora and fauna sit aside waterfalls and deep canyons. Yellowstone's true claim to fame, though, is its geothermal activity that presents in its hot springs and geysers. Your tour itinerary may take you to Mt. Rushmore, which showcases the visages of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, or to South Dakota's Badlands, where colorful rock formations highlight the dry terrain.

Some train tours to the Pacific Northwest feature Seattle, the crown jewel of the region. While this city is a destination in its own right, it is also ideally located as a launching point for Alaska cruise vacations and Western Canada rail tours. Whether you travel from the East Coast to the West Coast or focus your family vacation on the Wild West solely, there is no shortage of trip ideas to explore.

Alaska Northern Lights & Aurora Train
17/Mar
DAVID MONROE
5 stars
“While we only got a glimpse of the Northern Lights, the trip was awesome. Snowy nights kinda foiled our Lights experience, the Train ride, dog sledding and Glacier hike made it a great experience. Hotels were great as well. Can’t post my pics because they are too big but Denali was beautiful and the puppies were cuddly and loved to give kisses! Great job.

JEANINE Philadelphia
5 stars
“It was a fun experience. You get to meet a lot of nice people from all over the country/world. The train staff were friendly and helpful. I would suggest the longer version of this trip where you get a chance to get off and spend the night in some of the stops. That's my only regret!

Rockies to the Red Rocks - 2 Day Rail
12 Oct 2023
Sharon Ball
5 stars
“Unfortunately I developed altitude sickness in my stay in Denver and had a very hard time enjoying my trip to the fullest. I ended up eating grapes and crackers instead of the delicious meals that were prepared for me. My friend thought we moved to slowly and I had to explain to here it was a sightseeing train. I loved the ride. Hopefully I will be able to take this trip again in the future and do a gradual climb before the journey. Thank you.
