It also does partying pretty well in Georgetown. Through the Carolinas ( 3) before Charleston ( 4) waltzes you back in time along its historic waterfront and parks of palms and fountains. Soak up the Spanish vibe of, St. Augustine ( 5), and chill out on South Beach in Miami ( 6 - H) before two amazing beach days and surreal sunsets in the Florida Keys ( 7/ 8). The pace picks up in Orlando ( 9- 10) with a pure adrenaline fest of theme parks and thrill rides. Panama Beach ( 11/ 12) does balmy days and sultry nights; but New Orleans ( 13/ 14 - H) is no stranger to burning the candle at both ends, especially along Bourbon Street's jazz clubs and bars. Now Texas ( 15) sprawls out ahead, the biggest, brashest mainland state. Make a beeline for the Alamo in San Antonio ( 16/ 17) then roll into western Texas ( 18). Go underground for a view of Carlsbad Caverns National Park ( 19); while in Santa Fe ( 20), it's the Pueblo buildings and nearby Roswell UFOs that catch the eye. The ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde ( 21) beckon and the call of the wild gets louder in Colorado Rocky Mountains ( 22). While Arches National Park's ( 23/ 24) gravity- defying natural artworks are pure dynamite, Monument Valley ( 25) and the Navajo culture aren't easily outshone. Grand Canyon National Park ( 26/ 27) is a true American megastar; that you must glimpse with your own two eyes. That's no desert mirage, it's deep blue Lake Powell ( 28) inviting you for a plunge. Now pop those boots back on to experience the gnarly hoodoos of Bryce Canyon ( 29) and the desert oasis of Zion National Park ( 30). Lounge by your Las Vegas ( 31/ 32 - H) hotel pool, and cruise The Strip in a limo for a neon- glazed night. Be an all- action surfer or volleyball god in San Diego ( 33/ 34), or amble to SeaWorld and the A- grade zoo. Los Angeles ( 35/ 36 - HP?) adds some Hollywood pizzazz at Universal Studios or along the Walk of Fame. Skirt the Pacific Coast ( 37), then zip inland to the land of the giant sequoia, aka Yosemite National Park ( 38/ 39). Next up, San Francisco ( 40/ 41 - H) proudly displays its awesome Golden Gate Bridge. Now meet California's state tree, or rather hundreds of these natural skyscrapers, in Redwood National Park ( 42/ 43), before continuing north through Oregon ( 44). In Seattle ( 45 - H), peruse Pike Place Market, scale the Space Needle, then scout out the clubs of Belltown and the first Starbucks.. Wedged between snowy peaks and Pacific, Stanley Park shows Vancouver ( 46) off to the max! Cut across British Columbia ( 47) on the Coquihalla Highway and wind up at Lake Louise ( 48) for the best hiking in the Rockies. Why not tame this watery wildernesses by canoe before heading on to Banff National Park ( 49/ 50).. Awesome! Back into the US, we first meet the icy terrain of Glacier National Park ( 51/ 52), then beyond Montana ( 53), the geysers and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park ( 54/ 55) await. Cody, Wyoming ( 56) is rodeo central, so the bucking bronco looks right at home on state license plates. Into the Black Hills ( 57), see the Crazy Horse Monument shaping up and those nearby Presidential ' snapshots' carved into Mount Rushmore, in the Badlands ( 58). Your epic road trip weaves through surreal South Dakota ( 59) to the windy city, Chicago ( 60/ 61 - H), with tons of free art museums, outdoor movies and concerts! In Ohio ( 62) spy Lake Erie, then catch the pounding Niagara Falls ( 63) from the Maid of the Mist. Back in the New York area ( 64), add an extra night to hop aboard the free Staten Island Ferry for kicking Manhattan views. s o how about more than two months dedicated to all things Stateside?

40 Whether you're negotiating the switch- back trail to the lofty heights of Angels Landing or descending into the depths of the Grand Canyon nearly a mile below the earth's surface, sometimes the hardest challenges offer the richest rewards.

Killington in Vermont. Our Xtra Adventures will ensure that you delve deeper into the wilds with an overnight canoe trip, get closer to nature with some whale watching from a Zodiac and even don a hard hat, venturing underground for some incredible caving in British Columbia.

You could soon be coming face to face with a black bear, watching killer whales from a kayak or mountain bike the famous Slickrock trail overlooking the Colorado River and Arches National Park.
