: Ride east into the famous Black Hills where George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry discovered gold in 1874, sparking the last major Indian War on the Great Plains. In Deadwood, relive the times of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and see where Wild Bill was shot while playing poker.

Hotel: White House Resort | | Day 7 | Keystone | Black Hills excursion
: Our first stop is Bear Country USA, a wildlife park featuring the world's largest private collection of American Black Bear. Enjoy the leisurely 3-mile drive through this spectacular and unique wildlife park nestled on 250 acres. Then, there is time to walk-through the Wildlife Center where young and smaller animals frolic in their outdoor exhibits. Later, we visit Mt. Rushmore National Park. You may have seen pictures of Mt. Rushmore National Monument, but they pale in comparison to seeing this majestic site in person. It took 400 artisans 14 years to carve the 60-foot sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt out of the mountain. Nearby at Thunderhead Mountain is the world's largest sculpture: the Crazy Horse Memorial. A work in progress for over 50 years, it will measure 563 feet high and 641 feet wide when completed. Chief Crazy Horse himself never allowed any photographs of himself and was secretly buried in a hidden grave. The monument is dedicated to his spirit and the spirit of Native Americans. Then it's off to The Holy Terror Miniature Golf Course for a golf tournament. Named after the last active gold mine in Keystone, the course will have you screaming "mulligan" as you putt around gold-flecked boulders, up steep hills, down through the mine slew and around the water wheel and bubbling stream. Returning to Keystone, there is time to relax or take a plunge in the hotel's swimming pool. Come nighttime, join us for a farewell dinner. Toast to your adventures of the past week and share memories of your Wild West vacation that you'll cherish for a lifetime. (Full Breakfast / Dinner) | | Day 8 | Keystone - Depart Denver | Keystone - Depart Denver
: Follow the trail to old Fort Laramie, the best-known milepost on the Oregon Trail, where you can still see 150-year-old wagon wheel ruts cut deep into the soil by thousands of pioneers heading West. At the fort's living history exhibits, gain a deeper understanding of the harsh and often unforgiving world of the pioneer family as they fought distance, geography and weather to reach Oregon and the native tribes who gave their lives trying to prevent it. Your Wild West adventure ends at the Mile High city of Denver where stops are made at Denver International Airport or, if you're extending your stay at the Adam's Mark Hotel in the heart of Downtown Denver.
