America the Beautiful
Close to home and full of adventure, America’s greatest natural treasures await your arrival. Create your path to exhilarating activities as you hike, raft, and camp through the greatest natural landmarks in America with your loved ones by your side.
Whitewater rafting in Idaho
Trust the best-trained guides to lead you on an adventure of a lifetime. The white-capped rapids of the Salmon River’s Middle Fork thrill with every crest – with more than 100 rapids in as many miles. With rapids ranging from Class II to Class IV, you can make it as active as you want, whether you join an energetic team of paddlers or even lead the way on your own inflatable kayak. Mornings on the river give way to soaking in natural hot springs, hiking waterfalls and visiting ancient rock formations.
Family Fun in New Mexico
There’s action (and education) everywhere on this family-friendly outing. See the prehistoric petroglyphs and ancient dwellings carved into Bandelier National Monument and enjoy epic river views on the Rio Grande Gorge. Guided kayaking and hiking round out this six-day adventure, and adventures of all ages will want to test their mettle on New Mexico’s only via Ferrata – a new rock–climbing course in Taos using rungs, ladders, and steel cableways.
Waterfalls and wine
Grab your closest wine-loving friends and head to Oregon on a private excursion. Willamette Valley’s famous pinot noirs are yours for the tasting, but first you’ll start your day soaring over the valley in a hot air balloon. When you’re not sipping or dining, days are filled with outings in Oregon’s most breathtaking landscapes from the Columbia River Gorge to the sand dunes of Cannon Beach.
Best of the Southwest
Writer and historian Wallace Stegner called America’s national parks “the best idea we ever had,” and you can experience this firsthand while hiking through three beloved national parks. Descending into the Grand Canyon on foot is a truly rewarding experience, with options for different levels of fitness. Bryce Canyon National park is among Utah’s most awe-inspiring terrain with its colorful hoodoos and spires maze. Spend a day exploring prehistoric rock art at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park, then rest before an unforgettable journey through Zion National Park.
Rafting the Alsek River
Encounter nature in its purest form as you tackle the mighty rapids of the Alsek River, crossing the largest contiguous protected wilderness in the world. These rapids will transport you past icebergs and icy fragments in Canada’s remote Yukon Territory. Watch out for grizzly bears and moose, and spend each night gathering around a campfire and sleeping under the star-filled sky.
