Rediscover America’s Most-Treasured National Parks
It’s time to see the world again. You don’t have
to travel very far to encounter enriching cultural experiences and unparalleled, natural beauty. With all of the wonderful guided tours AAA Member Choice Vacations offers, it’s safe to say that we’ve discovered some pretty incredible destinations
on this globe, and America’s national parks rank among the best.
Thundering waterfalls,
unspoiled wilderness and
canyonlands as far as the
eyes can see, it’s no wonder
why our national parks are
some of the most visited
travel destinations in the
country. It’s a perfect escape,
right in your own backyard.
If you’re not familiar with
them, then now’s the
perfect time to head out there and explore these magnificent icons of this American landscape.
The Canyon Country tour is a journey of a
lifetime that ushers you into a colorful world of stunning southwestern vistas, the likes of which
many have never seen up close and personal. The unique topography experienced is surely every photographer’s dream and the three national parks you visit will wow you at every turn. The national parks traversed on this tour are Zion, Bryce and the world- renowned Grand Canyon. “Grand” indeed, because on this tour, you will behold the breathtaking views on
a drive along its East Rim. It’s a little-known fact that Theodore Roosevelt, upon visiting the Grand Canyon, is quoted as saying, “This is one of the great sights which every American, if he can travel at all, must see.” That’s a hefty endorsement.
On the America’s Cowboy Country tour, travel through Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Badlands
national parks, revealing Wyoming and South Dakota’s natural wonders and cultural treasures along the way. You’ll spend two nights in America’s most famous cowboy town of Jackson, Wyoming, the crown jewel of the Northern Rockies. Find yourself amid its rare blend of elegance and western charm. Visit Yellowstone National Park,
the world’s first national park. Famous for its geysers, hot springs and an incredible
array of wildlife – including free-ranging herds of buffalo
– Yellowstone lives up to its reputation. Check off one of life’s must-dos as you thrill
upon seeing Old Faithful geyser, named for its frequent and often predictable eruptions. Set out for the Wild West as it once was
with a visit to Deadwood, South Dakota, a town built on gold and gunpowder. Venture into South Dakota and experience rugged Badlands National Park along the famed Loop Road, a wonder of rock formations and vibrant colors caused by mineral deposits. Soak in stunning views of Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial.
Experience the grandeur of the American West on the America’s National Parks & Denver tour as you explore six fantastic national parks. Relish overnight stays in a lodge nestled in the heart of Yellowstone and in a National Historic Landmark inside the Grand Canyon. Enjoy a breakfast cruise on Lake Powell. Marvel at the magnitude and color of Zion’s cliffs. Enjoy two-night stays in Salt Lake City and Jackson Hole. Drive through the incredible Bighorn Mountains and the great Sioux Nations Territory before seeing Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument. Meet a local Lakota Native American
at dinner and learn about their fascinating way of life, past and present. Complete your adventure with a stay in Denver and a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park. Gain a new appreciation of the great outdoors on this journey that takes you from the Grand Canyon to Rocky Mountain National Park and everywhere in between.
Set your sights on the national parks for your next travel adventure and experience all of the beauty, wildlife and history they have to offer. The memories will last forever. To learn more about these and other tours, visit AAA.com/mcv.
