You don’t have to cross an ocean to unlock an incredible travel experience. Awe-inspiring natural wonders, diverse cultures, and unique travel experiences are much closer than you might think.
Imagine rafting on the Colorado River, surrounded by dramatic red-orange cliffsides; riding the Ice Explorer to Athabasca to drink pure water directly from the glacier; cuddling the Alaskan sled dogs who compete in the treacherous Iditarod; or searching for the telltale blow of a whale while cruising off the coast of New Brunswick. These are just a few of the many unforgettable experiences on our National Parks of the Southwest, Canadian Rockies Explorer, Alaska’s Untamed Wilderness, and The Canadian Maritimes tours.

It’s a land of scenes epic in scope, from the immense Grand Canyon and the winding Colorado to the sandstone spires of Bryce and the red-rock cliffs and chasms of Zion. It’s the Southwest, which our small group celebrates at favorite national parks and preserves. And, as author Wallace Stegner wrote, it’s America’s “best idea.”

One of North America’s great unspoiled wildernesses, the Canadian Rockies offer bountiful rewards for outdoor-loving travelers. While staying in unique mountain lodges, we ride in Glacier National Park’s famed Red Jammers, visit cerulean Lake Louise, and set foot on Athabasca Glacier. Amid stunning alpine scenery, it’s a feast for the eyes – and the spirit.
