If you’re one for adventure, we’ve got the perfect opportunity for you. Our 10-day Yosemite Active Adventure trip allows you to camp in the middle of the park itself and raft the rapids of the Colorado River. If camping isn’t really your thing, but you still want to split your time between wine tastings and appreciating nature, check out the Yosemite Park & Napa Valley trip. On this trip, you’ll find yourself exploring Yosemite’s famous waterfalls and sipping your fair share of reds and whites in wine country.

Yellowstone National Park – Wyoming, Montana & Idaho

Home to Old Faithful and the majority of the world’s geysers, it’s no wonder Yellowstone is one of the most visited US National Parks. It was established in 1872 as the country’s first national park and has continued to be a destination for nature enthusiasts ever since. It boasts one of the last natural ecosystems on the planet and is a wildland home to grizzly bears, bison, wolves and more.

If you’re looking to be inspired by the wilderness at its most pure level, you should check out the Chicago to San Francisco Road Trip.
