Rocky Mountains Holidays

The backbone of America, the Rocky Mountains form the Continental Divide, separating the western states from the East Coast. A heartland of Native American culture, the rugged landscapes of the Rockies and wide open prairies attracted trappers, adventurers and explorers. Today Denver, cosmopolitan capital of Colorado, is the hub for the region and the base for exploring the high Rocky Mountain peaks and alpine towns. From the ‘Mile High City’ head north through the bison herds of the Great Plains to the wilds of under-populated Wyoming and Montana. These two states offer some of the finest wilderness experiences in North America. Look for grizzly bears in Glacier National Park, marvel at the jagged peaks of scenic Grand Teton or experience the extraordinary geology and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Unsurprisingly, this is cowboy country and visitors can also experience true Rocky Mountain outdoor life with a stay in one of the region’s many excellent ranches.
