National Parks & Lodges of the Old West | May 28 - June 5, 2027

Step into the heart of America’s Old West on an extraordinary journey with alumni and friends from May 28 to June 5, 2027. This immersive tour blends breathtaking scenery with rich narratives, offering a deep connection to the land, its people and its past.

Stand in awe before the rugged beauty of Badlands National Park, explore the rolling plains of Custer State Park teeming with bison and elk, and experience the cultural significance of the Black Hills with visits to the striking Crazy Horse Memorial and the iconic Mount Rushmore. Our journey extends far beyond the surface featuring exclusive opportunities to engage with Native American history through music, storytelling and meaningful discussions that bring the region’s heritage to life.

In Yellowstone you won’t just visit—you’ll overnight within the park itself, a rare and coveted experience that allows you to awaken near Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders and pristine wilderness.

From the dramatic peaks of Grand Teton National Park to the Western charm of Jackson Hole, each day is an opportunity to connect, learn and explore in ways few travelers ever do.

Space is limited, and will be shared with participants from cosponsoring alumni associations. Please contact the CAA Travel Study Program office at (866) 325-8664 or at [email protected] for more details or request a reservation today.
