The Real America

Perhaps one of the most diverse areas of the United States is the region containing Idaho, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

This surely must offer the widest range of parks, rodeos, adventure holidays, skiing holidays and river rafting adventures etc. There is more to see, do and get involved in, than possibly any other part of the US.

Mount Rushmore is situated here – imagine how many people must have seen this monument – along with the famous Little Big Horn battle ground.

Its not all camping trips and trekking here though. Five star resorts with gourmet meals and fine wine abound and cater for the discerning palates amongst us. Did you know that there is a falls higher than the more famous Niagara Falls? Or a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon? Surprisingly both can be found here.

There is a lot for children to do too. Imagine teaching them how to light and cook over open camp-fires. Teaching them to fish for their supper! Hiking up trails instead of sitting in front of the T.V. – a somewhat ‘old-fashioned’ way of reconnecting as a family.

There is much on offer here and it would seem to give the traveler something a little different. The chance to be at one with nature and see the natural wonders of the world.

So if it’s wide open spaces with big skies that you are looking for – this is the place. But be warned, once you have experienced this magnificent place, you may not want to leave!
