The American West conjures up all sorts of images of pretty meadows, majestic mountains and forests, dramatic rivers and canyons, and amazing rock formations. Whether your interest is in photography, hiking, wildlife viewing, or nature’s beauty, you can generally visit these parks all year round. The oldest and most famous national park in the west is Yellowstone, with almost 3500 square miles of wilderness. It is known for its impressive geothermal hot springs and spurting geysers as well as the beautiful landscape and abundant wildlife such as bears, wolves, bison, elk, and antelope. Yosemite National Park in California is among the most visited parks in the country. With splendid valleys revealing waterfalls, impressive granite rocks, hiking trails for all levels and ages, and scenic drives, it offers enough adventure to suit everyone.

Often overlooked, the Channel Islands National Park offers peace and solitude for a day trip, with the possibility of seeing species found nowhere else in the world. Further north in Washington, Olympic National Park is great for exploring rivers, lakes, coastline, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing and tide pooling. The striking landscape of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming will leave you breathless. While it is popular for mountaineering, hiking, and fishing, visitors can enjoy boating on its lakes, wildlife viewing and scenic drives. Whether you wish to combine parks in your trip, or focus on just one, Lakani will create the special vacation for you and your family and friends.
