Signature Yellowstone + Grand Teton | 5-Day Glamping & Lodging Trip

Explore the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem & Arrive to Under Canvas

Starting from our Gateway Hotel near downtown Salt Lake City, our adventure kicks off along Utah’s stunning Wasatch Front, marking the beginning of our journey to Yellowstone National Park! Today’s route takes us through four states – Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. A delightful break awaits you halfway, offering a picnic-style lunch served by your guides. Our exploration begins just outside the park boundary, where we’ll discover beautiful waterfalls and gain insights into this unique ecological area. As this region is a prime moose habitat, keep your eyes peeled for the largest member of the deer family while we hike along a scenic trail. This evening we will enjoy dinner included and accommodations at the unique Under Canvas Yellowstone Resort, which is situated just outside of Yellowstone National Park.

“Imagine waking up to the sights, sounds, and smells of nature in one of the most spectacular places on earth. At Under Canvas West Yellowstone, you can immerse yourself in the great outdoors of Montana while spending your nights nestled in your luxurious glamping tent.” – Venue Report
