NORTHERN TRAIL

FLEXIBLE ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local conditions and passenger requests vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the help of your Trek Leader and fellow trekkers you may modify certain nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

• Days: 1-3 New York, Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls & Ohio

We cross the Hudson River and leave New York City, passing through the scenic Finger Lakes region and on to Niagara Falls for the dramatic Maid of the Mist boat ride at the base of the falls.
Accommodation: Camping included

• Days: 4-5 Chicago

Our next stop is Chicago - the "Windy City", home of North America's tallest building, the Sears Tower, and some of the greatest blues music in America.

• Days: 6-9 Minnesota, South Dakota & Badlands National Park

Next, we'll traverse the great prairies that were once America's western frontier, crossing North America's two longest rivers, the mighty Mississippi and the Missouri. In South Dakota, we visit Badlands National Park and the famous Black Hills. This land is sacred Sioux Indian Country; with Oglala, Lakota and Dakota Indians living nearby.

Large herds of bison and elk roam the park and bears and wolves are also present.

California is calling: sail on the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe or try your luck in Caesar's Palace Casino before we head to beautiful Yosemite National Park, a photographer's paradise.
