Fly from the UK to Denver, USA.

Begin your Wild West adventure in the Mile High City, where modern energy meets mountain majesty. Discover the best of Denver on a guided city tour, from the golden dome of the State Capitol to the vibrant art scene and craft breweries that locals swear by. Explore the hip LoDo district, stroll along 16th Street Mall or simply enjoy a Rocky Mountain sunset from a rooftop bar. With its mix of frontier history and urban cool, Denver is the perfect place to ease into your American road trip before you hit the open road north.

It’s time to cross into cowboy country as you make your way to Cheyenne, Wyoming’s proud capital and home of rodeo legends. This is the real-deal Wild West, where wide streets and even wider hats set the tone. Explore the historic Union Pacific Depot, wander past Victorian buildings or pop into a western outfitter for an authentic pair of boots. In summer, you might even catch a glimpse of bronco riders at the Cheyenne Frontier Days arena. One night here and you’ll understand why this town still calls itself the “Daddy of ‘Em All.”

Head north into South Dakota’s dramatic Black Hills, where small-town charm meets monumental sights. Rapid City is your base for exploring the iconic Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial, two awe-inspiring tributes carved into stone. Wander the city’s streets lined with presidential statues or dive into the local dining scene for a hearty Midwestern meal. The region’s blend of Indigenous heritage and pioneer spirit makes it one of the most fascinating stops on your journey — and a true highlight of the Wild Frontier trail.

Step back in time in Deadwood, where the ghosts of the gold rush still whisper through the saloon doors. Once home to legends like Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, this mountain town buzzes with old-school charm and a hint of mischief. Try your luck at a casino, walk the historic Main Street or take in a re-enactment straight from the town’s rough-and-tumble past. Whether you’re sipping whiskey in a century-old bar or soaking up the Old West atmosphere, Deadwood is where history truly comes alive.

Tucked against the Bighorn Mountains, Buffalo is a small town with a big frontier story. Stay in a historic hotel that once hosted outlaws and lawmen alike and soak up the slower pace of Wyoming life. Stroll along Main Street’s wooden boardwalks, pop into an old trading post or venture into the nearby wilderness for fresh air and mountain views. Buffalo is where the wide-open plains meet rugged peaks — a perfect spot to pause, breathe and feel like a pioneer on the move.

Named after the legendary showman Buffalo Bill, Cody is pure Wild West magic. Explore the Buffalo Bill Center of the West — five fascinating museums under one roof — and dive into the region’s frontier past. In summer, the nightly rodeo is a must-see, where cowboys put their skills to the test under Wyoming’s big sky. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, Cody is the gateway to Yellowstone and a place where you can almost hear the hoofbeats of history echo through the streets.

Welcome to the wilderness! Nestled near the gates of Yellowstone National Park, a stay at a rustic guest ranch offers a true taste of the great outdoors. Ride horseback through flower-filled meadows, watch for bison and elk and enjoy hearty home-cooked meals surrounded by mountain grandeur. Spend your days exploring Yellowstone’s bubbling geysers, thundering waterfalls and iconic Old Faithful — nature’s showstopper. After days of adventure, gather around the campfire and swap stories beneath a canopy of stars. This is frontier life at its finest.

Trade the open plains for the soaring peaks of the Tetons as you roll into Jackson Hole, Wyoming’s chic mountain town with a rugged soul. Here, cowboy culture meets alpine luxury — think art galleries, wooden boardwalks and gourmet steakhouses with a view. Take a scenic drive through Grand Teton National Park, spot moose by the river or unwind at your scenic ranch overlooking the valley. Whether you’re hiking, shopping or simply breathing in that crisp mountain air, Jackson Hole will have you planning your return before you even leave.

Your final stop brings you to Utah’s friendly and fascinating capital. Explore Temple Square, admire the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains on the horizon and take a guided tour of the Great Salt Lake to learn why it’s both beautiful and bizarre. The city’s vibrant dining scene and laid-back charm make for the perfect finale to your Wild Frontier journey. Reflect on your epic adventure over a local craft beer or a scenic sunset view — it’s the ideal ending to an unforgettable road trip through America’s untamed west.
