Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this Trip For?

This trip is for anyone who is interested in seeing pioneer trail sites and learning the stories that happened along the way. This trip is for anyone who is able to ride a bus for 3 days. We will be driving from Salt Lake to Casper, WY which is a 6 hour drive without stops. We will be making frequent stops along the trail sites to share stories and history.

 
Families are welcome to join the tours as well as anyone who is able to walk at least a half mile.

What Should I Bring?

We will provide you with a packing list but temperatures in July in Wyoming can vary. Plan to bring a jacket and a small bag or suitcase that includes everything you might need for the 3 days of the trip. 

Is there a detailed Itinerary?

A detailed itinerary will be emailed to you with your final payment invoice.  Generally 60 days before you travel.

Is my Deposit Refundable or the trip cost refundable if I need to cancel?

Trip Deposits are refundable if your trip date is unable to happen or you are unable to join another trip for the 2023 season. Once full payment is made for your trip, we will only be able to do a partial refund based on commitments that we will have made to the bus company, lodging, etc. We will do our best to treat each person fairly based on the situation but there is no guaranteed refund. No refund will be provided if you are within 7 days of your travel date. Any refund given will be at the discretion of the Amazing Vacations USA travel team. We encourage each traveler to have trip insurance for any emergency or last minute change of plans.

Can I drive myself?

No. Much of the teaching will take place while driving on the bus. If you aren’t able to be on the bus you will miss the stories and the experience will not be the same. 

Do I have to wear a mask or be vaccinated?

You do NOT need to be vaccinated to join this trip nor will there be any type of mask suggestion or mask rules to participate on the trip. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask you are welcome to do so but no person on the trip or the bus will be required or expected to wear a mask. If you are uncomfortable being around people who are not wearing a mask, we would encourage you to wait until a future time when you do feel comfortable.

 
There is a chance a store or hotel may have a mask rule in place and we would ask that anyone in our group be willing to abide by a store owner’s request if they wish to use their services. 
 
By choosing to come on this trip, you agree to release Amazing Vacations and our team and companies with whom he works from any liability for any injury, sickness, disease or accident that may happen as a result of participating in the trip.

Final payment is due 60 days before travel.  If you make a deposit later than 60 days before travel, your final payment will be due the day we contact you so that we can secure hotel lodging and other logistics.
