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 />
