Theodore Roosevelt was one of the biggest advocates for preserving the National Parks in America and the natural treasures that the United States contains. From the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon, the golden west is full of natural wonders. A National Parks tour showcases the true riches of this great nation and the lasting heritage we are wise to preserve.
The Grand Canyon National Park
What a wonderful experience to stand on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and look at the seemingly never-ending majesty as the canyon layers and folds into itself, exposing shades of red and gold. The Grand Canyon’s beauty is even more captivating when the sky mirrors the shades of red and gold at sunset and sunrise. Watching the deep shadows grow and wane as the sun moves across the canyon’s 2000 foot wall faces is a tremendous journey in time. Said to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon will leave you in awe, completely captivated by America the beautiful.
Visiting Zion National Park
Zion National Park is the picture perfect combination of the Golden West’s natural elements. The Navajo sandstone canyon walls jut up a half-mile from the canyon base, waterfalls spill over the canyon edges and curve into the distance, and rock needles and dome formations create the most intriguing panorama. Zion National Park’s 146,597 acres are full of canyons, cliffs, buttes, deep valleys, rock mesas, waterfalls, snaking rivers, hoodoos and natural arches, and the park is the perfect amalgam of the landscapes that define the National Parks of the Golden West.
Bryce Canyon National Park
Whether you call them fairy chimneys, natural totem poles or Hoodoos, the rock spires that shoot up from the badlands are really spellbinding and set-off the imagination! Bryce Canyon National Park has thousands of hoodoos and they stand in endless lines like giant soldiers standing obediently in rank and file in a wind, water and ice-carved amphitheater. Bryce Canyon National Park’s hoodoos definitely make for a surreal landscape and are a must-see on any American adventure!
