Go West Summit - FAM Trip Preview

30th Annual Go West Summit

Two National Parks, One Destination

Only a short four-hour drive from Salt Lake, you'll find Moab, Utah.

Moab is home to two of Utah’s most diverse National Parks, within minutes of town, Arches and Canyonlands, and one State Park, Dead Horse Point.

Moab’s unique combination of beautiful red rock scenery, along with the cool waters of the Colorado River, has made it one of the most sought after destinations in the southwest.

Moab’s perfect climate has made it a magnet for year-round outdoor adventure. Wonderful selection of restaurants, galleries, shops, bars and a microbrewery to please any palate. Moab surrounds you with the Most Stunning Red Rock Landscapes ON EARTH!

Stay tuned for our next Utah destination of the month.

Winter Adventure in Wyoming

Home to the world’s first national park, Yellowstone, and the spectacular views of Grand Teton National Park, visitors experience a once-in-a-lifetime winter getaway in Wyoming. Feel the solace of nature without the crowds as Old Faithful erupts, watch wildlife trek through the snow and marvel as the many hot springs turn frozen tundras into steamy landscapes.

Spend a day snowmobiling or snowshoeing among bison to untouched natural wonders. Or keep warm on a guided snow coach tour to Lamar Valley for a chance to view wolves. Then cozy up to the fire in Old Faithful Lodge and Mammoth Lodge as you enjoy an exquisite meal.

Ski enthusiasts can pursue powder slopes at the nation’s #1 rated Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, or test their abilities at Grand Targhee and Snow King. Those with the drive to ascend frozen surfaces rather than gliding down a mountain, can sink their axes into innumerable routes near the ice-climbing meccas of Cody and Tensleep, while others may hop on a snowmobile to explore hundreds of trails throughout the state. Less extreme visitors can enjoy a sleigh ride through Jackson’s National Elk Refuge where thousands of elk have migrated for the winter.

Whatever the expectations, Wyoming’s winter offerings provide visitors with a truly memorable experience. www.travelwyoming.com

Iconic Classics Southwest Jan 12-15
On this trip you'll explore two of Utah's iconic wonders-Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. We don't use “iconic” lightly. These are two of The Mighty 5® — the standard bearers of Utah, the giants whose splendor has inspired humans for centuries.

Utah's Hidden Gems Jan 12-15
There's much more to Utah than our popular national parks, and on this itinerary we will show you what you may have always been missing. We'll explore Utah's state parks, monuments and less-visited attractions. On the four days of Utah's Hidden Gems itinerary, you'll see landscapes and places you didn't know were possible, and see a whole new side of southern Utah!

Arches and Goblins Jan 19-22
You could build a whole trip out of Utah's iconic arches and rock art sites. This time, we're sticking to Southeastern Utah. This trip takes you through iconic destinations like Goblin Valley State Park, the San Rafael Swell, as well as the not-to-be-missed Arches and Canyonlands National Parks to encounter the skyscapers and unique landscapes that mother nature created.

Utah's Undiscovered Treasures Jan 19-22
This trip will take you back in time to explore the places where dinosaurs laid their tracks and where earth’s craters still exist. Our first stop will be the Dinosaur National Monument, home to the world-famous Wall of Bones. Next, we’ll venture on to Flaming Gorge to see the carved landscapes and pristine reservoir that make up this epic National Recreation Area. And last, but certainly not least we will be soaking in the clear mineral hot spring waters of the Homestead Crater in Heber.

Plus a 5-day post-FAM trip that includes a Mandarin speaking guide!
