The Xanterra Travel Collection® delivers a world of unforgettable experiences® in the most beautiful places on Earth. We are the largest operator of lodges, restaurants, and other concessions in some of America’s most renowned national parks and owner of some of the world’s top travel and adventure companies.
The story of Xanterra Travel Collection® begins in 1876 when talented visionary Fred Harvey struck a deal with the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad to open restaurants, hotels and gift shops at rail stops for weary travelers making their way west. In 2002, the company became Xanterra Parks & Resorts and was acquired by The Anschutz Corporation in 2008.
