Yellowstone National Park Getaway

5-day Salt Lake City and Yellowstone getaway with a guided park tour

Yellowstone National Park Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations' Yellowstone National Park Getaway is a 5-day, 4-night trip that opens with a night in Salt Lake City before a transfer carries travelers north to Yellowstone National Park, passing through mountainous countryside along the way. Two nights are spent in Salt Lake City and two inside the park, where an included sightseeing tour of the Lower Loop takes in Firehole Canyon, Isa Lake on the Continental Divide, and Old Faithful, with the Old Faithful Explorer Tour substituted during winter months. Roundtrip transfers handle the drive between the two stops, so no rental car or self-navigation is required once you arrive. This suits travelers who want a short, guided introduction to Yellowstone paired with a night or two in a city. The $1,179 per-person starting price covers hotels, the tour, and transfers; rail travel is booked separately.
