View This TourDiscover the United States
A hiking tour of the magnificent landscapes and national parks of the United States stirs the soul, allowing you to experience the nation’s staggering natural diversity and variety of scenery in truly unforgettable fashion.
Whether you walk through the lush green forests that blanket the mountains of New England and Washington State, or across the wind-sculpted rock formations and desert terrain of Utah’s Canyonlands or California’s Death Valley, much of the country’s untouched natural resources have been preserved and are considered critical to its people’s national identity.
Stroll through a pastoral state forest, swim in shimmering lakes, or kayak into the wildlife preserves of Vermont and New Hampshire. Amble along coastal paths, sandy beaches, and lazy rivers on Florida’s historic coastline. Visit legendary vineyards of the Pacific Coast and hike among endless fields of grapes ripening in the California sun. Spot bald eagles, elk, and grizzly bears at the hiker’s paradise that is Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. No matter where your hiking tour of the United States takes you, its bountiful ecosystem allows all walkers to find inspiration in its natural majesty.

Country Highlights:
- Walk among the spectacular rock formations of Utah’s Arches National Park.
- Look for otters, seals, and whales as you stroll the Pacific beach of Olympic National Park.
- Marvel at towering redwoods, the legendary tall trees of California’s Muir Woods.
- Sample local delicacies, from steamed lobster in Maine to huckleberry-infused dishes in Montana.

U.S. National Parks System
Initiated with the protection of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park in 1872, the establishment of the U.S. National Park System launched an international movement in the conservation of natural resources. Today the U.S. has 60 national parks across 28 states, each of which offers a unique outdoor adventure experience.

Foliage Season in New England
Hike amid the radiance of New England autumn, where forests sparkle with unforgettable bursts of yellow, orange and read leaves. Stroll through orchards and pluck a tart apple straight from a tree branch, or sample a fresh made warm cider donut or slice of apple pie.

Eat Like a “Locavore”
From community-supported agricultural projects, to fresh ingredients offered at myriad farmer’s markets nationwide, the “locavore” movement—eating foods harvested and grown within one’s own region—has gained significant traction in the United States thanks to its benefits to health and the environment. Sample fresh organic vegetables, locally raised meats and poultry, and sustainably harvested seafood.
