- How to Plan Your Tour -

     1.  There are 3 tours to the USA & Canadian Rockies. (Including the "American West Tour")

     2.  All go to the same places.    Same hotels - restaurants - attractions. 

     3.  You will see most of the same sights.

     4.  More Days = more leisure time to relax, explore, or both.

 

      All Tours are based on departing from Denver.  You can choose either AIRLINE or

                                     AMTRAK TRAIN.  The fare is the same, so you can choose.

 

      Train from the East Coast requires 2 overnights so you need to plan on ---

 

      1.  Meals on the train (we can include them if you like)

      2.  Sleeping on the train 2 nights

            A.  Coach        - economy is included

                                    - roomy comfortable reclining seats

                                    - pillow and leg rest

            B.  First Class Private Roomette or Bedroom for 2 (1 if you choose)

                                    -  ALL meals are included

                                    -  Shower

 

      The base tour is the 12-Day Tour.  It is the most relaxed and well-paced.  The 10 and 11 Day tour, while covering the same route and attractions, does not have as much time in some locations such as Yellowstone. 

      Pricing is seasonal with slight adjustments for the date of departure due to higher hotel and transportation costs during the “in season”.

 

- So here is what you have do decide -

- The West - 

 

- A bit of Historic Background -

 

       The WEST was explored by 3 Countries - France - England - United States of America.  After the French left in 1759 and the English departed in 1783, it was left for Americans in the United States, and Canadians, still governed by England - to Explore this vast area occupied only by Natives and a smattering of French and English Fur Traders until 1792 Alexander Mackenzie in Canada, Crossed the Rocly Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in only 9 months including a winter encampment -

 

     12 years later,  President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the region, and report back.  It took almost three years and many people had given them up for lost.  Accompanied by more than 25  French Trappers and Fur traders, the Lewis and Clark Expedition opened the vast land that we call "The West"

 

     Please, to give You some background - watch the wonderful Movie "How the West Was Won"  it is fairly accurate although somewhat condensed - but the "essence" is there.   So, Join Us in singing - You know the words ...   "Come, Come, there's a wonderous land, full of hopeful hearts and a willing hand ....."
