If visiting national parks is on your family’s travel list, Xanterra’s Christmas in July Sale can save you as much as 30 percent on lodging at four of the most popular parks. Make reservations July 18–30 to lock in these savings. Eligible travel dates vary with each property.

 

In Yellowstone, you can save up to 25 percent on overnight stays at select Yellowstone National Park Lodges for travel July 16–Dec. 20. These lodges are inside the park, putting you close to the geothermal and other natural sites that make this first national park famous.

 

Inside the beautiful grounds of The Oasis at Death Valley, you can save 30 percent on stays at The Inn at Death Valley and The Ranch at Death Valley for travel between July 31, 2025, and Jan. 15, 2026.

 

In Big Sky Country, surrounded by the towering peaks of Glacier National Park, Cedar Creek Lodge is located at the park’s gateway. You can save 30 percent on overnight stays between Oct. 13, 2025 and March 31, 2026.

 

At the Grand Canyon, the premier in-park lodging is at the South Rim, where you’ll find  Xanterra El Tovar and Bright Angel lodges. During the Christmas in July sale, you can save as much as 30 percent on overnight stays between Oct. 26, 2025, and March 12, 2026. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is at nearly 7,000 feet elevation, so temperatures are often 20–30 degrees cooler than the desert.
