Day 1 & 2 (Arrival and overnight in Denver)

Day 3 (Denver to Cheyenne - 102 Mi)

Denver to Cheyenne

Wyoming’s capital city is an intriguing mix of frontier-town and a modern city. Stroll through the city centre and visit the Wyoming State Museum.

Distance approx: 102 Mi
Time to travel approx: 1 hour 35 minutes

Day 4 (Cheyenne to Wind Cave N.P. - 250 Mi)

Cheyenne to Wind Cave National Park

Your first full day of driving hits the long, straight roads of Nebraska. Zip through this prairie state where the expanse of flat, featureless landscape is itself a spectacle to behold. Cross into South Dakota and arrive at your campground near the intriguing Wind Cave National Park. Our suggested campground is basic, with no power hook-ups, but sees wild deer and buffalo visiting regularly and offers fantastic night sky views. Visit Wind Cave National Park with its incredible natural phenomena like strong barometric winds and boxwork cave walls.

Today it is a short drive through the Black Hills to the iconic Mount Rushmore. Marvel at the faces of presidents Washington, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt and Lincoln, gazing out eternally across this immense landscape. Lesser known but only 30 minutes’ drive away is the under-construction Crazy Horse Memorial, well worth a visit, to commemorate this Lakota tribe warrior.

Distance approx: 37 Mi

Today’s journey takes you back into Wyoming, through a land that has been the setting for many a Wild West movie.

The Devil’s Tower Campground is within sight of this geological oddity.

Distance approx: 309 Mi
Time to travel approx: 5 hours 15 minutes

Day 8 (Cody to Yellowstone N.P. - 77 Mi)

Cody to Yellowstone National Park

Continue westward, through the remarkable Shoshone Canyon, to the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This remote expanse of wilderness is home to an amazing array of wildlife from wolves and coyotes to moose and buffaloes. The Grant Village Campground lies inside the park and is open from approximately late June to late September. Spend a day exploring this wonderful and varied national park. Visit the Old Faithful geyser which shoots boiling water high into the air as regularly as clockwork; discover Grand Prismatic Spring, where algae changes the colour of the water from blue to orange, green and red; then visit Yellowstone’s twin waterfalls, one of which is twice the height of Niagara.

Time to travel approx: 1 hours 30 minutes

Day 9 (Yellowstone N.P. to Colter Bay - 62 Mi)

Day 10 (Colter Bay to Lander - 140 Mi)

The stark landscape of the great divide basin sits in sharp contrast to the peaks and forests of the national parks you are leaving behind.

Distance approx: 140 Mi
Time to travel approx: 2 hours 30 minutes

Day 11 (Lander to Laramie - 223 Mi)
