The greatest thing about our fabulous National Parks is that there truly is something for everyone. Whether you're wanting a long weekend in the mountains, or a month-long cross-country journey, we can work together to make it happen. 

Although you can sure try and "wing it" for a spur-of-the-moment getaway, due to the popularity of our National Parks, planning and reservations are best done up to and even more than a year in advance! 

Curious about booking tours? Call me! 

Wondering the best time to enjoy the sites without the crowds? Let's work together!

Looking to stay at in-park lodges? Let me help you!

A trip to one or more National Parks is not one you'll soon forget, so let's get out that NPS bucket list and get checking!

Black Hills Road Trip
Reviewed By Colette - Minnetonka, MN | Traveled to Black Hills ~ South Dakota ~ USA
We did all the "normal" things people do when they're in the Black Hills: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Needles Highway, Wildlife Highway, Sturgis, Wall Drug, Deadwood, etc. Obviously, most of these places are very commercialized, but, a few definitely worth seeing. I'm glad we had an "agenda" so we didn't miss any of the good stuff!

It was SO easy working with Katie on ALL the plans, etc. No matter what a pain I could be, she was on top of everything! If we go anywhere else, we definitely will be going through Bucket List!

    Graduation Trip
    For our sons solo graduation trip to Australia and Bali, we chose to work with Katie because of the stellar experiences we had with her previously. We knew she would be extremely organized and communication would be outstanding. We felt confident that she would organize the trip as if she were doing so for her own son. We appreciated Katie giving us choices as to how the trip was planned. We had a say in each detail. It was great to hear from her via email every step of the way. We liked receiving communication very regularly. Katie provided value by always making sure we were on the same page and giving us choices cost wise. It was a difficult trip to plan because we know she wanted to make sure our son had a say, but she also respected us as parents and made sure we were comfortable with the plans. He wanted to cram as much adventure as he could into 3 weeks, and she definitely made that happen. Thank you, Bucket List Travel, again for making his dreams come true!
