The United States spans some 3.8 million square miles, with ecosystems ranging from snow-capped mountains to erupting geysers to arid deserts. So, it makes sense that the nation has a long history of wanting to preserve these diverse and precious parts of their land. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson created the National Park Service. This idea to protect the country’s most naturally spectacular places for all to enjoy turned out to be a popular one, inspiring many other national parks systems to be established all over the world.
Today, the US National Park system includes 84 million acres across all states. It can be supremely difficult settling on which one to visit. Will you pick Yellowstone, the jewel of Wyoming, or perhaps Bryce Canyon with its unique rocky spires and pinnacles? With an escorted tour, you don’t need to limit yourself! Treat yourself to the USA national park holiday of a lifetime, and witness the most incredible, almost surreal views in all of America.
You could begin your journey at Yellowstone, to witness the unbridled power of Old Faithful, then make your way to Bryce Canyon National Park, where a network of natural amphitheatres have been dramatically etched into the plateau. As you continue on your parks journey, you might like to make your way to Zion National Park and witness the striking, multi-coloured layers of rock, and then wrap it all up at Grand Canyon National Park, the archetypal US national parks vista. During your trip, be sure to stay on the lookout for wildlife, from wolves to otters to bears!
