PARK TO PARK BY PRIVATE JET
Trip Summary
ONE PRIVATE JET. EIGHT NATIONAL PARKS. ELEVEN EPIC DAYS.
A LIFETIME OF MAGNIFICENT MEMORIES.
Immerse yourself in the majestic American West as you breeze by private jet between eight
National Parks on this extraordinary journey—designed to ring in the National Park’s Centennial
year in unprecedented, ultimate style.
Pilot a luxury sports car through the desert basin of Death Valley. Stand in the footprints of Ansel
Adams as you snap a photo of Yosemite’s 5,000-foot Half Dome. Cruise by Cannondale bicycle
around the rim of Crater Lake. Wallow in the warmth of a setting sun from your private terrace
at Jackson’s Amangani Resort, and feast on freshly prepared local fare by a bonfire beneath a
star-studded sky in Zion.
Privel’s Majestic American West Challenger 650 private jet excursion has been carefully curated
to offer the absolute best of each of the parks we visit. Expect nothing short of five-star, farmto-table cuisine, the finest rooms in our very own historic in-park lodges, highly attentive,
world-class guides (1 for every 2 guests on the trip), and eleven unforgettable days of behindthe-scenes adventure that offer just the right mix of awe-inspiring scenery, adrenaline-inducing
action, and well-deserved R&R.
Itinerary
DAY 1: LAS VEGAS ARRIVAL
Welcome to the City of Lights! From the moment you are
greeted at the Las Vegas airport by your private limo driver,
your only responsibility over the next eleven days is to enjoy
yourself. This evening you’ll be greeted by your Trip Director
and your guides over a lavish welcome dinner. Walk the
strip, settle in for a round of black jack, or simply relax in the
quiet sanctuary of the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel. Arrival:
Las Vegas McCarran International Airport; Overnight: Four
Seasons Las Vegas

DAY 2: DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK
After a leisurely breakfast at the Four Seasons you’ll motor
west from Las Vegas toward Death Valley behind the wheel of
your own high-performance car through surrounding desert
and mountain landscapes. Upon entering the park—the
largest in the lower 48 states—we’ll visit Dante’s View, a 5,476foot terrace on the crest of the Black Mountains, soaking up
never-ending views of Death Valley. Lunch today is at the Forty
Niner Café, a true western Americana affair. This afternoon
we’ll continue our drive down to 282-feet below sea level, the
lowest point in North America, to stretch our legs in the white
salt flats of Badwater Basin. Your home for the evening is the elegant and historic Inn at Furnace
Creek, a Death Valley landmark nestled amidst an oasis of palm gardens and natural, spring-fed
pools. Overnight: Inn at Furnace Creek
DAY 3: YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
John Muir described Yosemite as by far the grandest of all the
special temples of Nature [he] was ever permitted to enter.
Upon arriving in this spectacular national park, we’ll set off on
a quarter-mile warm-up hike to Olmstead Point, taking in an
eye-popping 8,300-foot view of Cloud’s Rest, Half Dome, and
Tenaya Lake. Lunch today is at the Majestic Yosemite Hotel
(formerly the Ahwahnee). This afternoon we’ll take in the
iconic sights of Yosemite National Park as Ansel Adams once
did, visiting a number of locations from where Ansel himself
composed some of his most famous images. Capture your own impressions of the park, with
tips from a professional photo guide. This evening we’ll savor another fabulous meal along with
a pampered overnight stay. By Cessna Grand Caravan: Furnace Creek Airport (California) to
Mammoth Yosemite Airport (California)

DAY 4: CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK
7,700 years ago, Oregon’s Mount Mazama erupted, collapsing
into itself and creating a massive, 2,000-foot-deep, six-mile
wide caldera, now home to Crater Lake, whose water is so
astonishingly blue, you’ll have to see it to believe it. Soak up
the park’s eye-popping palette and pristine scenery by bike
on a ride along Rim Drive, with options to shuttle along the
steeper stretches. Lunch is a gourmet picnic of fresh, local
fare, overlooking the lake—the perfect way to fuel up for a
3.4-mile hike to Garfield Peak for knock-your-socks-off vistas
of the lake, the southern Cascades, and Klamath Basin. Feeling like some R&R after a morning
of hiking and biking? We’ve got you covered. Settle in for a massage with a private masseuse
at the historic Crater Lake Lodge. This evening, raise a glass or two of sommelier-selected
Oregon wines as you watch the sun set over the caldera. By Private Jet: Fresno Yosemite Airport
(California) to Klamath Falls Airport (Oregon); Overnight: Crater Lake Lodge
DAY 5: GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Known to the Native Americans as the “Shining Mountains”
and the “Backbone of the World,” Glacier National Park
preserves over a million acres of old growth forests, alpine
lakes, rugged mountains, and sweeping wildflower meadows.
Your Big Sky Country experience begins with a private
Red Bus tour along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, a 50-mile
engineering feat that winds through the park’s glaciercarved peaks and valleys, affording some of the best views
in northwest Montana. After a picnic lunch on the shores of
Lake McDonald, we’ll kayak the lake’s crystal-clear waters to a
backdrop of postcard-perfect, snow-capped mountains, watching for bighorn sheep, mountain
goat, elk, and black bear along the shoreline. This evening, cozy up for a delectable fireside meal
at the Swiss chalet-style Lake McDonald Lodge. By Private Jet: Klamath Falls Airport (Oregon) to
Kalispell Airport (Montana); Overnight: Lake McDonald Lodge

DAY 6: YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Welcome to Yellowstone: a land where mountain peaks soar,
reaching for the sky; where canyons, a palette of earth tones,
are peppered with geysers, fumaroles, steam vents, and mud
pots; where rushing rivers feed crystalline lakes and mighty
forests make a comfortable home for grizzly bears, moose,
bison, wolves, coyotes and eagles.
For most visitors, Yellowstone and exclusivity don’t go hand
in hand. As guests of Privel, however, you’ll experience the
park as a VIP, with insider access not only to the best rooms
at the elegant Lake Hotel (a National Historic Monument) but also to Upper Geyser Basin
(home to Old Faithful). Visit the most famous geyser in the world alongside one of the most
renowned historians in the country, watching in awe as the geyser shoots up to 8,400 gallons
of 200-degree water 130-feet into the air. Seal your day with a cocktail overlooking Yellowstone
Lake in your hotel’s Sun Room, to the soundtrack of your very own string quartet. By Private Jet:
Kalispell Airport (Montana) to West Yellowstone Airport (Montana); Overnight: Lake Yellowstone
Hotel
DAY 7: YELLOWSTONE & THE TETONS
Your behind-the-scenes Yellowstone experience continues
with an opportunity to scout gray wolves and grizzly bears
at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in Hayden Valley
with a local biologist, the perfect guide to get you up-close
with the protected wildlife. This afternoon we’ll enjoy lunch
and a private tour of the Old Faithful Inn, renowned for its
historic, log cabin ambiance. Rested and refueled, we’ll set off
on an unforgettable hike through Yellowstone’s backcountry,
exploring Upper Geyser Basin and a diverse array of
rolling meadow and lodgepole pine. As night falls, treat yourself to a hot stone massage or a
Himalayan salt scrub before watching the sun dip behind the Tetons from your private terrace at
the sensational five-star Amangani Resort in Jackson. Overnight: Amangani Resort

DAY 8: GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
Begin your day in style with a hot air balloon flight over the
largest remaining private open space in Jackson Hole—a
working ranch bordered by Grand Teton National Park, the
Bridger-Teton National Forest, and the Snake River—taking in
the saw-toothed peaks of Jackson Hole from 3,000-feet. Back
on earth, raise a glass to an unforgettable morning over a
lavish champagne breakfast. The afternoon is yours: wet a line
with an expert guide on a fly fishing excursion, park yourself
at the Amangani’s world-class spa, explore the Mangelsen
Nature Gallery with Thomas Mangelsen himself as your
guide, visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art, or hit the town square for some shopping. At
sundown we’ll reconvene at the upper section of the Snake River, for a 13-mile float. Take in the
scenery as we drift south along braided river channels, learning about the flora, fauna, geology,
and history unique to the area and keeping a lookout for moose, bald eagles, and black bears.
Cap your day with a five-star, white-linen dinner at a private Tipi Camp, tucked away beneath a
canopy of Cottonwood trees on the banks of the river. Overnight: Amangani Resort
DAY 9: ZION NATIONAL PARK
There is a reason National Geographic rated Zion’s Virgin
River Narrows one of the Top 5 Best Adventures in America.
Experience the magic and 150-million-year-old history of Zion
National Park alongside a geologist from the Zion Natural
History as you step into (and wade ankle-deep through) a
captivating world of 3,800-foot sandstone walls, river-carved
slot canyons, tumbling waterfalls, and emerald hanging
gardens. This all-day, 5-mile hike through The Narrows in “The
Land of Rainbow Canyons” is one to remember. At day’s end,
savor a bison burger and a perfectly-toasted s’mores at a sumptuous campfire barbecue before
retiring to the peaceful refuge of Zion Lodge and its illustrious starry skies. By Private Jet: West
Yellowstone Airport (Montana) to Saint George Airport (Utah); Overnight: Zion Lodge

DAY 10: HAVASUPAI ON THE GRAND CANYON FLOOR
This morning we have the unique opportunity to descend
from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon into the Native
American village of Supai—the most remote town in
America—by way of helicopter, a luxury granted upon
our request by the Supai Tribal Council. En route, take in a
hardly-seen birds-eye view of the canyon. In the village of
Supai, drop a postcard at the post office, where the mail
comes and goes by packhorse, before setting off on foot
along cottonwood-lined paths into the Canyon’s backcountry.
Explore a hidden oasis of 100-foot waterfalls, spring-fed travertine pools, and grapevine-laden
meadows, pausing for a refreshing dip in the crystalline waters of Havasu Creek. Retire this
evening to an elegant suite at the esteemed El Tovar, the crown jewel of Historic National Park
Lodges, perched on the rim of the Grand Canyon. By Private Jet: Saint George Airport (Utah) to
Tusayan Airport (Grand Canyon); Overnight: El Tovar
DAY 11: GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
Your final day on the South Rim offers a behind-the-scenes
tour with an expert from the Grand Canyon Field Institute to
the Hopi House and the Kolb Brother’s famed photography
studio. We depart the canyon by the legendary Grand Canyon
Railway. Settle into your private railcar, taking in a stunningly
diverse array of scenery as you snake through Grand
Canyon Country along 65-miles of the Colorado Plateau to
Williams, Arizona, keeping an eye out for mountain lions, elk,
pronghorn, bald eagles, and California condors. In Williams,
enjoy a milkshake at Cruisers along Route 66, a restaurant
celebrating the Mother Road with all sorts of 1950s memorabilia. You’ll slide into the driver’s
seat of your own muscle car and navigate west along Route 66 to the City of Lights. Back in
Vegas, we’ll celebrate your journey with a decadent farewell feast and VIP tickets to Celine
Dion’s stunning new show at Caesar’s Palace. Overnight: Four Seasons Las Vegas
