11-Day Yellowstone, Tetons, Yosemite & Desert Explorer from Las Vegas
An 11-day loop from Las Vegas that packs Bryce, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Death Valley and Yosemite into one wilderness-forward camping and walking tour. Expect geysers, hoodoos, high passes, and practical guidance for multi-day camping and varied hikes.
The Experience
Before You Go
Layer for big temperature swings
High-elevation mornings can be near freezing while desert afternoons soar—pack a warm midlayer and a sun shell.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Bottled water isn’t provided; refill at comfort stops and park facilities to stay hydrated in dry environments.
Keep respectful distance from wildlife
Bison, elk and bears can behave unpredictably—always follow the guide’s safe-distance rules and never approach animals.
Practice Leave No Trace at campsites
Campfire and meal routines are communal; pack out all waste and minimize impacts around water sources.

Conservation Note
Travelers are urged to follow Leave No Trace practices; protected habitats here are sensitive to off-trail travel and human food attractants, especially in bear country.
This route crosses lands historically used by Shoshone, Paiute and Mono peoples and follows later 19th-century exploration and conservation pathways that shaped the national parks system.
