There is nothing quite like a great American road trip. Jaw dropping scenery, iconic cities, super-sized national parks and endless possibilities for adventure. Everything seems bolder and brighter here, and building a sabbatical around an American road trip further magnifies the experience as you can take the time to linger longer, seeing more, doing more and really delving beneath the surface of the places you are visiting.
Begin your odyssey in one of Canada’s finest wilderness lodges, Clayoquot. Time and time again, our returning clients proclaim Clayoquot to be the most magical place to begin a North American odyssey, where family bonding plays out in an invigorating setting of wildlife and adventure. Crossing the border into the USA, your road trip begins in against an epic backdrop of towering redwoods, alluring vineyards and the stunning vistas from California’s iconic Highway 1. Head inland via Las Vegas for a dose of decadence – as well as a magical helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon.
The final phase of your road trip takes you through the spectacular national parks of Arizona and Utah. Here the soaring mesa tops of Canyonlands and Monument Valley conjure up timeless images of spaghetti westerns, while the glowing red rock formations of Bryce Canyon and the Arches National Park are a photographer’s paradise. A private rafting and glamping adventure along the Colorado River provides the icing on the cake, ensuring you return home with memories to treasure long after your journey has ended.
