10 AHA! MOMENTS
For over 90 years, we’ve been taking guests throughout the United States and Canada to explore North America’s most astounding natural wonders and wildlife (often in the continent’s great national parks)... see treasures left behind by indigenous peoples or built by our most creative minds... and meet people eager to share their cultures with you – extraordinary moments all. So we asked our North America tour architects to choose ten of these “moments of a lifetime”... you know, ones where you’d say, “This is so cool, I could stay here forever!” And here they are...
1. The Simple “Bear Necessities” Of Life... Wild Alaska
The salmon are running... the brown bears are down at the shore to catch ’em... and you’re in a boat on Crescent Lake in Lake Clark National Park to see – and photograph – it all!
2. Get A Horse! (... And Carriage!) Grand New England
If something seems different about the lovely road your horse-drawn carriage is clip-clopping along in Acadia National Park, there is – it’s one of the car-free carriage roads and stone bridges built just for that purpose by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
3. So How Do You Like Them Apples? A Taste of the Pacific Northwest
At an organic cidery in British Columbia, they start with heritage apples grown nowhere else in North America... turn it into cider that’s to die for... pair it with good things to eat... then invite you to taste it!
4. Pictures Worth A Thousand Words... And Years New Mexico: Land of Enchantment
As you’re glancing up at a petroglyph – or peering out of a cavate (alcove) carved into a cliff by the Pueblo at Bandelier National Monument, it hits you... this could be a millennium old!
5. Be Very Quiet... We’re Tracking Wolves... Wonderland: Yellowstone in Winter
You are in the middle of Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley in winter, keeping your eyes peeled for the grey wolves who roam the snowy plains in search of grazing elk and bison... What could possibly be cooler than that?
6. Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch... Legends of the American West Whether you’re saddling up for a trail
7. America’s National Memory, Up Close... In Freedom’s Footsteps: Philadelphia to Washington, DC
As if a private viewing of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights in the Rotunda of the National Archives isn’t enough, you’ll go behind the scenes with a researcher on this Tauck Exclusive!
8. Where The Magic Happens In Walpole... Hidden Gems of New England
Behind the scenes at filmmaker Ken Burns’s Florentine Films in Walpole, New Hampshire, get an inside look at how Ken and his team tell the American story in their own unique way.
9. Before You Can Play It, You’ve Gotta Make It... Bluegrass and Blue Ridges: Louisville to Nashville
Along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, a local musician and craftsman gives you the lowdown on authentic Appalachian music... and on the expertly hand-crafted instruments on which it is played.
10. Learning The Artist’s Way Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks
In a Tauck Exclusive moment in Grand Teton National Park, you’ll meet and learn from an artist participant in the park’s unique American Indian artist-in-residence program – and that’s not something that happens every day...
ride, poking around
historic sites from the fabled Johnson County Wars (bullet holes included), taking a wagon ride, learning the ropes or meeting a horse whisperer, you’ll get a taste of cowboy life you’ll never forget at a Wyoming ranch...
