Queste strutture offrono una vasta gamma di attività, tra cui l’equitazione, la pesca, i trattamenti termali e pasti gourmet.
 

Il Wyoming comprende due Parchi Nazionali, Yellowstone e Grand Teton. Percorrendo lungo il confine occidentale, attraverso la scenografica Star Valley, visiterai la storica cittadina di Jackson, la spettacolare Teton Mountain Range e Old Faithful. Il fiume North Platte scorre attraverso questo lungo e ampio spettro dello stato. Scopri la storia pionieristica del Wyoming, dalle cicatrici nella terra lasciate dai vagoni in viaggio verso l'Oregon ad affascinanti musei che ripresentano la storia di questo stato.
 
Salt Lake City Utah e’ circondata da montagne di granito ed è una destinazione alpina di livello mondiale con ricreazione all'aperto, una importante storia e un'economia che ha trasformato una città di pionieri in un sofisticato e fiorente centro metropolitano.
Colorado Springs e la Regione Pike Peak sono collocate alla base delle Montagne Rocciose con numerevoli attivita’ ricreative, tra cui escursioni a piedi, le meraviglie geologiche al parco dei Giardini di dio, la Grotta del Venti e le miniere della Paint Interpretive Park.  
 
Denver è una città con 300 giorni di sole all’anno, brillanti cieli azzurri e paesaggi montani mozzafiato  esattamente ad un miglio di altezza dal livello del mare. Nel 1858, un piccolo gruppo proveniente dalla Georgia che attraversava le grandi pianure del Territorio del Colorado alla ricerca di oro alla base delle Montagne Rocciose. Di oro ne fu stato trovato poco, ma il semplice sussurro della parola fu sufficiente per avviare una vera e propria invasione di avventurieri nel terrotrio.

At least 80 percent of the commercial buildings date from that period.
The Vintage Railroad follows a scenic route to the Fort Worth Stockyards along the Cotton Belt Railroad right-of-way. The service is a tourist attraction due to its slow speeds. The Grapevine Rail also hosts one of the community’s seven winery tasting rooms.
