Itinerary

Adembenemende landschappen, spectaculaire wilde dieren en onvergelijkbare fotomogelijkheden wachten op je tijdens deze tour door de bekendste nationale parken en staatsparken van het Westen. Hoogtepunten van de tour zijn een overnachting in Grand Canyon National Park, waar je getuige kunt zijn van het adembenemende landschap bij zonsondergang en zonsopgang. Sta in Yellowstone National Park versteld van het gebrul van het water en bekijk de prachtige watervallen in de Grand Canyon van Yellowstone. Zie Old Faithful uitbarsten en bewonder de kuddes bizons, elanden en andere wilde dieren als je het park verkent. Mount Rushmore biedt het verbazingwekkende monument van vier Amerikaanse presidenten en spectaculaire landschappen en wilde dieren, waaronder muildierherten en berggeiten. Bezoek ook het Crazy Horse Memorial, uitgehouwen in de berg ter ere van de Sioux Indiaanse held, en geniet van een schilderachtige rit in Custer State Park, met een overvloed aan wilde dieren. Houd je camera gereed voor de felrode, gele en roze pilaren die "hoodoos" worden genoemd in Bryce Canyon National Park en bewonder de gebeeldhouwde ravijnen en hoge kliffen in Zion National Park. Maar dat is nog niet alles... bezoek Monument Valley, een van 's werelds meest gefotografeerde plaatsen met zijn rode-rots canyons, mesa's, iconische buttes en verwaaid zand. Bekijk de enorme formaties tijdens je 4-wheel-drive tour met een deskundige Navajo gids. Dit alles en nog veel meer is inbegrepen bij deze nationale parken tour die is ontworpen voor slimme reizigers met een goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding.
