As travelers around the world search for deeper, more meaningful encounters with nature, EXP Journeys unveils its highly anticipated destinations for 2025—inviting guests into some of the United States’ most breathtaking and remote terrains. Blending luxury, sustainability, and cultural immersion, EXP’s bespoke adventures reimagine what it means to experience the wild, offering an elevated approach to travel that promises unforgettable moments and refined comfort.
Where luxury meets wilderness
At its core, EXP Journeys is not just a travel company—it is a curator of deeply personal, immersive adventures. Known for crafting tailor-made experiences that range from family escapes to corporate retreats, EXP combines the rigor of elite travel design with a passion for the natural world. Their approach is grounded in local knowledge, sustainability, and the simple belief that great journeys can—and should—transform us.
For 2025, EXP announces three standout destinations that exemplify this ethos: Wyoming’s Reid Creek Lodge, the culture-rich Four Corners region, and Ted Turner’s private Vermejo reserve in New Mexico. These newly unveiled locations promise rare access to untouched landscapes and curated luxury experiences far removed from the ordinary.
Reid creek lodge, Wyoming: The untamed West refined
Situated in east-central Wyoming, Reid Creek Lodge stretches across over 300,000 acres of rugged, private wilderness. A working ranch that embraces both tradition and innovation, it offers everything from horseback riding and e-biking to serene stargazing and water sports. Andrew Finn, EXP’s Director of Sales, calls it “a hidden gem,” praising its blend of seclusion and sophistication.
This destination isn’t just about activities—it’s about immersion. Guests become part of the land’s rhythm, connecting with the quiet majesty of the American West. From luxury cabins to personalized itineraries, Reid Creek Lodge is a sanctuary for those who seek adventure without sacrificing comfort.
Four corners: Where culture, nature, and history collide
The Four Corners region—where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico converge—is rich in ancestral legacy and natural grandeur. For 2025, EXP unveils a new luxury tented camp in McElmo Canyon, offering rare access to Cannonball Mesa and the surrounding archaeological treasures.
Visitors are invited to explore ancient ruins dating back to 1280 AD, hike through canyons steeped in history, and reflect on the landscape’s spiritual gravitas. “Four Corners is a deeply inspiring destination,” says Kevin Jackson, EXP’s Founder and CEO. With exclusive permits and expert guides, this journey is more than sightseeing—it’s a dialogue between past and present, curated with respect and wonder.
Vermejo, new Mexico: Conservation meets curated adventure
Ted Turner’s Vermejo Reserve is a sprawling 550,000-acre haven of alpine tundra, lakes, forests, and wildlife. It is both a playground and a sanctuary—home to elk, bison, black bears, and mountain lions. EXP Journeys leverages this dramatic backdrop to deliver custom adventures, from horseback exploration and fly-fishing to intimate ecological experiences guided by biodiversity experts.
What sets Vermejo apart is its commitment to conservation. Travelers don’t just witness nature—they support it. Through partnerships with the Turner Endangered Species Fund, guests gain insight into ongoing efforts to restore bison populations and protect Rio Grande cutthroat trout. After a day of adventure, evenings unfold under the stars, complete with chef-prepared meals and fireside storytelling.
EXP’s signature luxury mobile tented camps: Nature, elevated
One of EXP’s defining innovations is its fleet of Luxury Mobile Tented Camps—designed to bring upscale accommodations into the heart of America’s most iconic wilderness areas. These aren’t just tents; they are fully furnished, climate-conscious sanctuaries complete with king-sized beds, en-suite toilets, hot showers, curated meals, and fine wines.
For 2025, new camps are launching in Paradise Valley (Montana), Moab (Utah), and Yosemite (California), with more on the horizon. “In a country with such awe-inspiring natural wonders, we saw a need for luxury that honors the land,” says Kevin Jackson. With a Leave No Trace ethos, each camp provides a balance of indulgence and environmental responsibility, proving that comfort and conservation can coexist beautifully.
Highlights from the new luxury camp locales
Paradise Valley, Montana
Nestled near Yellowstone National Park, this new camp promises authentic Western activities like cattle drives, beekeeping, and horseback excursions. Guests can explore geysers and thermal springs while absorbing the tranquil energy of Montana’s sweeping valleys.
Moab, Utah
Located near both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, the Moab camp offers thrilling access to petroglyphs, UTV rides, and private rappelling setups. It’s an adventure base that merges adrenaline with archaeological wonder.
Yosemite, California
Dreamlike days give way to serene nights in this iconic setting. Whether rafting down the Merced River or biking through meadows, guests return each evening to fireside dining and the kind of silence that only Yosemite can offer.
A new standard in American luxury travel
EXP Journeys is redefining what it means to travel luxuriously in the United States. With every camp, every guide, and every destination, the company invites travelers to step away from the generic and into the extraordinary. In these curated experiences, comfort is not compromised, nature is not neglected, and guests are not just tourists—they are explorers, welcomed into wild, sacred spaces with open arms.
As 2025 unfolds, EXP is more than ready to take luxury off the beaten path. And for those who seek both adventure and elegance, the journey is just beginning.
