Days 11-13
Missoula
to
Yellowstone National Park
Head south today toward the iconic Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first ever national park established in 1872. This is a legendary place known the world over for its stunning geysers, (over 10,000 hydrothermal features including Old Faithful) mysterious lakes and graceful waterfalls. To experience the best that Yellowstone has to offer drive the grand loop road, looking out for wildlife such as bison, elk, bears and bighorn sheep as you go. The road is 230 miles long and connects many of the parks more popular attractions so it will take at least two days to negotiate, partly because driving is very slow due to the speed limit and the amount of wildlife jams you will encounter. An excellent alternative to your car is on foot on one of Yellowstone’s many spectacular hiking routes.

J Smith - Travelled New York to TorontoI have just returned from a tailor made holiday made possible by Jeannette Dembrey. This was the first time I had ever organised such a major holiday and as it was a gift for my children after my retirement it was really important to get things right. I went to quite a few agencies but Jeannette was way better than any of the people who I spoke to. She was so professional and wanted me to get the best from the money I could afford. The holiday was absolutely amazing and everything went like clockwork. Jeannette had thought of everything even the connections between places and the things we would do in each town. We stayed in 6 hotels altogether starting in New York and ending in Toronto. I am amazed at how smoothly it went. Even my son who has travelled all over the world was impressed with the way things had been organised. I cannot praise Jeannette enough for her professionalism. Thank you Jeannette. I would recommend you to anyone with the satisfaction of knowing that you did an amazing job. Thank you.
