National Parks

National Parks really are America's Best Idea. Diverse in geology and geography, they are all areas of outstanding natural beauty and often home to a variety of flora and fauna that is seen nowhere else. And national park hiking is some of the best. The question of which is the best national park is hotly debated. But why listen to others? The best national parks are the ones where you feel a sense of connection and being at home. All we can tell you is that the national parks we visit are all places we love and eagerly look forward to visiting again and again.

Hiking Lodge to Lodge on the Appalachian Trail

Top of Page

There are many ways to hike the Appalachian Trail: day hikes, slackpacking, backpacking, and hut to hut. On this trip, however, we do it in style! We'll go lodge to lodge, staying in the lovely and very different lodges that are conveniently spaced along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, while our luggage is transported by van. This part of the AT is well-graded and well-maintained, with climbs rarely exceeding 500 or 1,000 feet, so it is excellent for beginning hikers and anyone who enjoys vistas and abundant wildlife. $1280 1  2  [3]  4  5  This trip is currently full.

Colorado Rockies Ramble

Rocky Mountain National Park is known for lush meadows, high mountain lakes, craggy peaks, diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife. We will try to see as much as possible as we journey into the park each day for a different hike. During our five days we will immerse ourselves in the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the Park. And at night we will retire to our huge cabin at the YMCA of the Rockies, situated right outside the Park boundaries in a beautiful setting.
