From 02 May Delta Airlines will operate a daily non-stop service from Heathrow to Salt Lake City making Salt Lake City the ideal gateway to explore the wonderful state of Utah, it’s five national parks and the surrounding region.  As the closest gateway point to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks – less than a day’s drive, compared with two days from Denver, Salt Lake City is set to become one of our most important destinations.

In recognition of this exciting new service Just America has launched two new self-drive tours – “Ultimate Utah” is a 14 night/15 day tour which includes all five of Utah’s national parks – Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches & Canyonlands, along with Monument Valley, Cedar City, Moab and Park City.

“Rocky Mountain Adventure” also starts and ends in Salt Lake City, but takes advantage of Salt Lake’s proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and combines them with Idaho’s Sun Valley and Twin Falls, then Utah”s Ogden and Park City.

We also have the option on both tours of including Robert Redford’s Sundance Resort for the last two nights of the tour!

Two great tours both of which can be extended and adapted to suit your time/budget constraints.
