Backroads Names Top 5 Trending US National Parks Trips
March 29, 2016
Yellowstone & Tetons, Bryce & Zion, Glacier & Waterton Lakes, Maine and Alaska are the most popular based on Backroads summer bookings.
The Canadian Rockies national park is also a popular travel destination this summer. Outside of the United States, Europe continues to trend up as a popular summer spot especially to the waterside locations of Croatia, Iceland, Italy's Tuscan Coast, Spain's Costa Brava and the canals of Holland.
National Parks are a unique part of the United States, allowing visitors to see protected land and ecosystems as well as geology and wildlife. With many national park celebrations planned, and hotel rooms in very high demand this summer, the timing is perfect for an active getaway organized by Backroads. The company has secured hard-to-get hotel reservations and handles all planning and logistics, enabling guests of all ages to unplug, relax and actively enjoy the parks and their natural splendor. Backroads currently offers the most trips to the US National Parks of any active travel company and has done so since the company's inception more than 37 years ago. Backroads' itineraries are created to encompass the best the parks have to offer while giving guests a great sense of journey.
Backroads top trips to the national parks this summer include:
•
Yellowstone & Tetons Multisport Adventure Tour

•
Bryce & Zion Walking & Hiking Tours, Biking Tours
Utah's Phenomenal National Parks

In addition to the national parks, other destinations that are popular this summer with Backroads guests are locations along the water, and on the water, in Europe. Backroads Active River Cruises continue to be a guest favorite, with summer departures along the Danube, Rhine, Seine and Portugal's Douro rivers. Backroads is also seeing strong guest bookings for Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, Italy's Tuscan Coast Bike Tour, Pyrenees to Costa Brava Bike Tour and Walking & Hiking Tour, Holland & Belgium Bike Tour, and Iceland Multisport Adventure Tours.
For those wishing to avoid the summer crowds and wanting to see a national park in a different season, Backroads offers a very special Yellowstone Winter Snow Adventure Tour with dogsledding, ice-skating, animal safaris and the chance to see Yellowstone's splendors in their winter environment.
