Now is the time to explore North America

1 California

The Golden State of California stretches from the turquoise seas of the Pacific to the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Home to iconic cities, nine national parks, world-class resorts and one of the world's greatest coastal roads, California often feels more like a country. Explore the colourful streets of San Francisco, visit historic Alcatraz and gaze at the Golden Gate Bridge, sample local produce in the winelands of northern California or visit the gold rush towns of the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe. Follow iconic Highway 1 on the ultimate road trip as it winds its way along the spectacular Pacific coast from Monterrey and Big Sur to Los Angeles, for lovers of the great outdoors, discover the other-worldly landscapes of Yosemite and Death Valley national parks.

2 Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66 as you travel from Chicago through the heart of America to Los Angeles. A memorable and nostalgic journey, follow America’s beloved ‘Mother Road’ which stretches 2,448 miles, crossing eight states and three time zones. Experience spectacular scenery, iconic landmarks, true hospitality, famous national parks and quintessential Americana culture. Route 66 was one of the original US highways and played an integral role as the main route for migrants travelling west to California during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. With sections of the road now protected and numerous landmarks, hotels, diners and signs preserved, experience the culture and diversity of this great nation on an epic cross-country road trip of a lifetime.

3 Ranch Holidays

Whether you are a novice rider looking to learn, an advanced rider who wants to perfect your equine skills or are seeking that traditional cowboy experience, we feature a collection of hand-picked ranches to showcase the different types of accommodation and locations available across North America. A working ranch where guests are involved in the day to day duties of the operation will offer the most authentic experience for experienced riders who are seeking a hands on approach. Alternatively, resort ranches offer a more comfortable alternative with high-end accommodation, quality dining and some simple riding. The final two types of ranch accommodation are guest and rude ranches. There are many similarities between them and both sit somewhere between a working and resort ranch. Both offer a good mixture of riding and ranch activities, however, guest ranches tend to be more informal with horses often the only livestock whilst dude ranches provide a broader range of activities to cater for a wider audience.

Our Ranch specialists would be delighted to match your interests and requirements to the right ranch. Contact our travel experts to start planning your Ranch holiday. 

4 British Columbia

British Columbia is one of Canada's most loved provinces. Stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Canadian Rockies and north to the Yukon and Alaska, it certainly is an incredibly diverse area. Blessed with some of the most beautifuul - and accessible- scenery in Canada, British Columbia is best explored by road and numerous wilderness areas and state parks can easily be reached from cosmopolitan Vancouver. This vibrant city has something to offer everyone – lovely parks, world-class attractions and great food. British Columbia is also home to the country's premium winter sports capital, Whistler, whilst Vancouver Island offers an interesting history and unrivalled marine life. The interior of British Columbia, with its vast mountain ranges, dense emerald forests and pristine blue lakes offers spectacular scenery at every turn and there are few better ways to experience this than on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train. For outdoor enthusiasts there is excellent hiking and abundant wildlife whilst, for the less intrepid, the pretty Okanagan valley is renowned for its vineyards.

5 Western USA

Encompassing the states of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, this expansive and desolate region remains an isolated frontier land. Prominent Native American history, barren flatlands and breathtaking red-rock landscapes evoke images of the American west. It is also an area of top-secret bases, alleged extra-terrestrial life and the all-singing, all-dancing entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. The region's national parks are a major draw, especially for outdoor and adventure lovers. From Arizona’s majestic Grand Canyon to the stunning geology of Utah’s Zion National Park and the vivid-red sandstone sculptures of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, the landscapes are out of this world.

Conjuring images of smoky jazz and blues bars, finger-picking country music venues, barbecues, all-American diners, cowboys and cattle ranches, the southern states offer easy living and legendary hospitality. Music brings the region together - Nashville is the home of country music, Memphis heartland of the blues and location of Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate, New Orleans is famed for its jazz and zydeco, and Austin in Texas has over 200 live music venues.

Drive Highway 1 and the PCH between San Francisco and Los Angeles for extraordinary views of Pacific Coast – or travel inland through Western USA and discover the incredibly diverse and otherworldly landscapes of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
