$2,295*
Experience Yellowstone & Teton National Parks as few others do.
Winter is a wonderful time to experience Yellowstone & Teton with fascinating snowy landscapes, and frosty animals. Geyser basins are magical when influenced by cold temperatures, becoming what one might call, canvases of fire and ice. As the snow drapes a wintry blanket a peace settles over the landscape and becomes a frost-covered wonderland. Our winter experience offers incredible photography and wildlife watching. Join this singles weekend and enjoy a Winter Safari getaway through two National Parks.
Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks Winter Safari Itinerary
Vacation Day 1 - Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Arrive at the Jackson Hole Airport and make your way to the group's hotel, the Wort Hotel, built in 1941, this stately, upscale Old West-style hotel is a 2-minute walk from central Jackson. Arrive early and discover the amazing scenery, eclectic shopping, art galleries and an array of superb restaurants, all within walking distance.
Tonight meet and greet with your singles group leader and fellow single travelers and enjoy dinner at the the Silver Dollar Grill next to the Silver Dollar Showroom, located inside the Silver Dollar Bar inside our hotel and features weekly music from local and regional bands.
Vacation Day 2: Teton Naltional Park Tour - Jackson Hole Tram
The Tram offers panoramic views of the Teton Mountains, the town of Jackson, the Snake River Valley, and Grand Teton National Park. Take part in the tradition of delicious waffles atop Rendezvous Peak at Corbet's Cabin. These tasty treats are made-to-order with your choice of toppings (even bacon!), and are the perfect snack.
Vacation Day 3: Full Day Yellowstone Naltional Park - Old Faithful Snow Coach Tour
Sit back and enjoy the scenery to Old Faithful in comfort as we are being chauffeured by an experienced, knowledgeable guide. Equipped with four oversized low-pressure tires, the snowcoach moves on top of the snow and will give us great views of the park scenery while touring Yellowstone. Our tour will take us to the Old Faithful Geyser making several stops along the way to learn about the Park's history, view thermal features, and take pictures.
Our day begins with an early morning pick up and breakfast will be a grab and go style on the way to Yellowstone. We'll travel 45 miles (one-way) of groomed trail to Old Faithful, making several stops along the way, with opportunities to get out and walk around. Points of interest may include Moose Falls, Lewis Canyon, Lewis Falls, and West Thumb Geyser Basin. The highlight of our day will be watching Old Faithful erupt as the contrast of the grayish-white steam against the snow and the stunningly blue skies creates a heightened sense of the Earth’s powerful forces. 
In winter Old Faithful regularly shoots sprays of water more than 100 feet in the air, erupts, the near-boiling water hits the chilly air forming “geyser rain.” Watch as these tiny icy crystals and flakes fall to the ground.
We will return to Jackson Hole just in time to have dinner.

Our hotel, the All-Inclusive Riu Palace Peninsula is located in the heart of Cancun. The resort is situated on a dazzling stretch of white sand beach and framed by tropical vegetation and crystal clear turquoise water.
The pools are definitely the centerpiece of the hotel. Separate, but close together, the hotel's three main pools -- infinity, sports activity pool with volleyball and basketball nets, and swimming -- are all located just before the beachfront and surrounded by neatly landscaped grounds. There's even a small archeological site by the swim-up pool bar.
Since Cancun is a tropical destination overflowing with miles of gorgeous Caribbean sea and beachfront, there's no questioning why most of Riu Peninsula's features are set outdoors. The beach is split into two sections: a sugar-sand beach punctuated with palm trees, loungers, and cabanas; and a rocky shoreline complete with crashing waves and natural vibe.
There is entertainment in the lounge-y outdoor, but covered, theater space, there's also an outdoor stage that hosts live music performances to kick off the night.
| Plus Spend A Day Golf Carting On Isla Mujeres All Included in Your Weekend Package   |
There's no lack of bars at the Riu Palace Peninsula. From the classy ocean-view lobby bar with nightly piano player, to the 24-hour Sports Bar, to the swim-up pool bar, Riu keeps your whistle wet. While Sports Bar, filled with live sports games on screens, pool tables, and video games, may be the only joint open 24-hours, most other bars on the property open at 10 a.m. and close around midnight. Outdoor watering holes include Trinidad, the swim-up pool bar that also has a covered landlocked section with seating, and Tobago, the beach bar. At night Tobago transforms into a beachside lounge spot with soft lighting, cabanas, and lounge areas -- although it's usually fairly empty as people tend to stick around La Plaza or La Latino, the two bars flanking the theater, or inside the snazzy lobby bar, Cabanga.
Of course a trip to Cancun would not be complete without a shopping visit to the famous downtown flea market. Shop for all those Mexican souvenirs and tee shirts you need to bring home. Don't forget to bargain!
Our singles vacation package includes all meals, bottomless beverages both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a mix of really exciting fun activities and amazing entertainment.

Vacation Day 3: Mesa Verde National Park
About 35 miles from Durango is the Mesa Verde National Park. Today we will spend the day exploring the National Park that was established in 1906 to preserve and interpret the archaeological heritage of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from 600 to 1300 CE. Today, the park protects nearly 5,000 known archaeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. Sometime during the late 1190s, after primarily living on the mesa top for 600 years, many Ancestral Puebloans began living in pueblos they built beneath the overhanging cliffs. The structures ranged in size from one-room storage units to villages of more than 150 rooms.
Our first stop is at the Mesa Verde National Park Visitor and Research Center for an orientation of the park and to view native artifacts. As we depart the Center, we will see archaeological sites along the Mesa Top Loop Road, a 6-mile drive that can be described as a tour through time. Along the road, you’ll find short, easily-accessible paved trails to view twelve archeological sites, including surface sites, pit houses, pueblos and overlooks of kiva-type cliff dwellings—the ancient homes and villages of the Ancestral Pueblo people who lived here for more than 700 years.

We will stop at the overlook of the famous Cliff Palace, the largest and most famous cliff dwelling with over 150 individual rooms and more than 20 kivas (rooms for religious rituals). Along the way we will stop to enjoy our provided lunch while appreciating the beauty of the landscape that was home to generations of Ancestral Pueblo people. Let's check out one of the local Brew Pubs for dinner tonight then we will go to the Wild West Saloon, Durango’s favorite and largest adult playground.

Vacation Day 3 - Monument Valley - By Horse or By Jeep
Today we spend all day visiting the famous Monument Valley Park, a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border. The park, an iconic symbol of the American West is frequently used as a filming location for Western movies. The valley is host to towering sandstone rock formations that have been sculpted over time and soar 400 to 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Combined with the surrounding mesas, buttes, and desert environment, it truly is one of the natural wonders of the world.
Enjoy a cookout lunch in the Valley and choose to tour Monument Valley by jeep or horseback with Navajo guides.
1) Take a guided jeep ride in Monument Valley that includes different aspects of Navajo culture. Enjoy the bumpy bliss of traveling to remote locations only accessible via a guide; the tales of history and Native American myth our guide shares with us along the tour; seeing the most beautiful and iconic parks in the country. You'll see a lot in a little time, and take home memories of the iconic West, that of the silver screen, and of sacred lands.
2) Famous actors and actresses rode horseback over the trails here, as they filmed classic westerns. Now you can ride the same trails as we participate in a guided horseback ride. There is no other place where you can experience a ride like this.The horse is an important, integral aspect of the Navajo culture and when you are riding you are directly participating in their cultural experience. The horseback tour is good for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders.
Overnight in Chinle, located in Northeast Arizona and adjacent to the Canyon de Chelly National Monument.
Vacation Day 4 - Canyon de Chelly
We wake up today at Canyon de Chelly National Park and monument, located in northeastern Arizona, completely on the tribal lands of the Navajo Nation. The park is considered one of the longest inhabited landscapes in the northwestern hemisphere with more than 4,000 years of occupation. It has ruins of indigenous tribes including Navajo and Pueblo Peoples and still houses about 40 residents within the canyons.There are over 2700 archaeological sites within the many canyons of Canyon de Chelly but only 13 of the 700 standing ruins have been stabilized, re-enforced, or protected from degradation.
After breakfast we’ll meet for our jeep tour that will take us back to Anasazi times. The Anasazi's inhabited the canyon from 2500 B.C.E. to 1300 A.D and were the first people of the canyon. Around the 1200’s they migrated from the canyon; throughout the southwest they left behind dwellings, handmade tools and wares. During our tour we 
will learn about the people and the events that went on in Canyon de Chelly. View the ruins of the early people, and admire their beautiful artwork in the forms of pictographs and petroglyphs.
This afternoon enjoy a very different type of scenery during a visit to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived in the Late Triassic Period, about 225 million years ago. The sediments containing the fossil logs are part of the widespread and colorful Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert is named.
Overnight in Flagstaff, AZ, surrounded by mountains, desert and Ponderosa pine forests.
Vacation Day 5 - Tusayan, AZ
At 1.6 million acres the Kaibab National Forest borders both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon. Today we enjoy a beautiful drive through the Forest with stops at Sunset Crater (extinct volcano) and Wupatki National Monument (Prehistoric Pueblo dwellings) on our way to the big one – Grand Canyon National Park!
Sunset Crater will give us insight into what the earth was like in the last millennium. The lava flows and cinder rocks are frozen in time, appearing red and clear as if they had cooled down just last week instead of hundreds of years ago. Amidst the hardened lava, wildflowers and trees spout up, providing a gentle, colorful contrast to the powerful strength of the volcano.
Well-preserved rock-formed Pueblo dwellings in the Wupatki National Monument are evidence of an ancient civilization. Ancient pueblos dot red-rock outcroppings across miles of prairie. Where food and water seem impossible to find, people built pueblos, raised families, farmed, traded, and thrived. The pueblos all have a distinctive deep red color and were made from thin, flat blocks of the local Moenkopi sandstone.
Upon arrival at the Grand Canyon our tour leader will make sure we all understand how to use the free shuttles at the Canyon. Tonight let's enjoy the sunset.
