USA<br />

Discover USA<br />

One of the world’s largest countries, the<br />

US comprises 50 states, each with its own<br />

culture, cuisine and influences. This is the<br />

land of the spectacular Grand Canyon,<br />

the sizzling tastes and sounds of the Deep<br />

South and numerous national parks whose<br />

splendour and scale defy belief.<br />

Discover the colonial charm of New England,<br />

go in search of glaciers and bears in Alaska,<br />

experience the Pacific paradise of Hawaii or<br />

visit the glitzy cities along California’s golden<br />

coast. There are so many sights to see on<br />

and off the beaten track that one visit is<br />

rarely enough.<br />

Driving in the USA<br />

Arguably the greatest way to explore the US is by<br />

car, thanks to the country’s extensive network of<br />

byways and highways. Driving allows travellers<br />

to move around at their own pace via the wide<br />

and easily navigable roads, and we offer a range<br />

of vehicles for your comfort. Spend time meeting<br />

the residents of charming lesser-travelled towns,<br />

immerse yourself in the local culture and stop at<br />

beauty spots to take in the fresh air. There are<br />

plenty of renowned routes whisking you through<br />

jaw-dropping scenery, not least California’s<br />

Pacific Coast Highway, where you can follow the<br />

coastline and enjoy lots of interesting stops as<br />

you go. Then there is America’s most famous<br />

road, Route 66. Established in 1926, it crosses<br />

eight states, three time zones and through the<br />

heart of the country. Although it is no longer<br />

possible to drive the full length, it is still possible<br />

to traverse sections of this iconic route.<br />

Zion National Park, Utah<br />

National parks<br />

There are 63 national parks within the US –<br />

legally protected areas dedicated to conserving<br />

the environment for the enjoyment of future<br />

generations. Each has been selected for its<br />

natural beauty, unique geological features<br />

and diverse ecosystems. Spread throughout<br />

the country, these parks can be explored<br />

independently or with a private guide. You may<br />

wish to combine them into one itinerary, or add<br />

them as extensions to an existing itinerary. They<br />

provide irresistibly photogenic scenery, endless<br />

opportunities for embracing the great outdoors<br />

and accommodation with the ultimate view –<br />

though the best-placed properties have limited<br />

availability. See the towering sandstone cliffs<br />

and canyons of Zion or Bryce, admire the large<br />

sequoia trees and waterfalls of Yosemite, look for<br />

wildlife and geothermal wonders in Yellowstone,<br />

or go hiking in the wilds of Denali, Alaska.<br />
