The Rocky Mountain range spans 3,000 miles of North America from New Mexico to northwest Alaska. There are many coach tour options throughout the mountain range. Popular coach tours include trips from Seattle or Vancouver to various cities throughout the Canadian portion of the Rockies and shorter trips throughout Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
Coach tours in the Rocky Mountains typically operate between June and early October when the mountain weather and road travel are at their best. It is important to book coach tours well in advance because of the short season, especially if you have a large group of people traveling together.
Coach tours can last anywhere from a few hours to 10 days. Short day trips can be taken to various historical places and sights around a specific town or region in the Rockies. Longer tours will take you across the mountains from town to town. Some combine a portion of the trip with rail travel.
Professional guides accompany the tours. While coaches stop in mountain towns and places of interest along the trip route, free or priced optional activities are a part of most coach tours. Typical adventures include whitewater rafting, helicopter tours, mountain biking, hiking through national parks, horseback riding and hot springs. Longer tours include nightly accommodations.
