Travel notes
As we've included six of America and Canada's most diverse national
parks, you'll see a wide range of scenery, from geysers to rock
formations and mountains to canyons. They didn't call it the Big
Country for nothing - so don't expect to see too many other
visitors in these wide-open spaces. Alongside the many natural
wonders to observe, we've also scheduled time at the Blackfeet
Indian Reservation and Browning's Museum of Plains Indians to give
you a sense of how these ancient peoples lived in harmony with the
land.
