Switch up how you explore the United States and Canada with these all-new trips and experiences.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n To put it mildly, if you can dream up an adventure, you can do it in North America<\/a>. So, it\u2019s no surprise that there\u2019s a whole new set of Intrepid trips and experiences for you to find across the United States<\/a> and Canada<\/a>. Want to experience the sky-high wonders of the West Coast? The old stories waiting to be told in Newfoundland? Or how about an all-encompassing adventure through a bit of it all? Intrepid\u2019s got you covered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Alaska\u2019s always attracted avid adventurers, and now on Intrepid\u2019s new eight-day Hiking the Great Land of Alaska,<\/a> you can get even closer to the action. Not only will you kayak along Homer\u2019s impressive coastal scenery and stay right in among it all as you set up camp each night in Alaska<\/a>\u2018s varied landscapes, you\u2019ll also hike through forests of alder and cottonwoods to the Harding Icefield, seeing the ice stretch toward the horizon while hearing about the impacts of climate change in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n Calling all foliage fanatics! A new 15-day trip, West Coast Discovery<\/a>, might just be your ticket. The trip combines Best of California\u2019s National Parks<\/a> and San Francisco to Seattle<\/a>, taking you through the towering timber of Sequoia and Redwood national parks and into the mossy magic of Hoh Rainforest. Along the way, there are plenty more incredible landscapes to explore \u2013 think Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, and Columbia River Gorge in Washington.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Want all that and then some? No problem. Western USA Encompassed,<\/a> a new 20-day trip, takes everything in West Coast Discovery<\/a> and tacks Western USA National Parks Loop<\/a> onto the beginning, so you can kick off your American adventures with some hiking in the red canyon country of Zion, Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon national parks. From there, Intrepid\u2019s most comprehensive trip in the Western US takes you among California\u2019s sky-high sequoias and into Yosemite National Park for a night of stargazing with a naturalist guide. With stops at some of the West Coast\u2019s most iconic cities \u2013 Vegas, San Fran, Portland and Seattle \u2013 mixed in, no stone\u2019s left unturned. \u00a0<\/p>\n Craggy rock faces, thick forests, picturesque lakes\u2026 it\u2019s tough to think about how the Rockies could possibly be improved. But, as an all-new experience on Intrepid\u2019s 10-day Grand Canadian Rockies<\/a> will teach travellers, there are efforts underway to do exactly that. In Banff, you\u2019ll meet a conservationist from Yukon to Yellowstone<\/a> \u2013 an initiative working to protect wildlife corridors spanning the US-Canada border, allowing grizzly bears, caribou, wolves and more to follow their natural routes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Fans of a hootin\u2019 and hollerin\u2019 good time will love a new stop along the trail of Intrepid\u2019s seven-day South Dakota to Yellowstone Parks Explorer<\/a> trip. After spending time at Badlands National Park, travellers will stop in the town of Deadwood, South Dakota. Made famous for playing host to Wild West names like Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok, the town\u2019s many Gold Rush-era buildings are preserved to this day. Your leader will take you on an orientation walk, and then you\u2019ll have free time to do some exploring of your own \u2013 why not get fitted out in a new cowboy hat?\u00a0<\/p>\n Gander\u2019s got a good yarn to share, and a new stop on Intrepid\u2019s eight-day Newfoundland Adventure: Westbound<\/a> (or Eastbound<\/a>) will let you hear it. There, in Canada\u2019s easternmost province, you\u2019ll meet with a local to learn about how the unassuming town managed the arrival around 6600 people who were diverted there when all of North America\u2019s airspace closed on 9\/11. Hear what went into hosting those numbers, as well as the lasting impact it\u2019s had on the town. You\u2019ll also head further back in history during a walking tour of the fishing town of Trinity, where you\u2019ll hear about its Indigenous Beothuk people, as well as its French, Irish and English influences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Getting active in Alaska\u2019s already a guaranteed good time \u2013 and it just got even better. On the seven-day Alaska Hike, Bike & Kayak<\/a>, along with paddling the pristine waters of Resurrection Bay and taking on the trails of Denali National Park, travellers now also get the chance to explore Matanuska Glacier on foot. Don your ice cleats and helmet and get to seeing some of the 27-mile-long and 4-mile-wide glacier with the help of an Alaskan guide and glacier expert.\u00a0<\/p>\n Members of the 18 to 35s crowd can get a perfect introduction to Canada\u2019s iconic mountain ranges on Intrepid\u2019s 13-day Real Canadian Rockies.<\/a> In between tackling paths that coil around mountains and snake through inland rainforests, a new experience will get you hearing the stories behind the scenery. After spending the night in Golden, you\u2019ll make a visit to Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch for a tour with its owner. You\u2019ll get to learn about the history of the area and buffalo behaviours as you watch the incredible animals roam pastures backdropped by mountains.\u00a0<\/p>\n If MTV Cribs <\/em>had been around in 1895, Biltmore would have made top billing. With 250 rooms set in a 3237-hectare (8000-acre) estate, it is the largest privately owned house in the USA. A tour of the chateauesque mansion is now included on the Georgia History Trail to Nashville<\/a> trip, so you can snoop around the celeb-worthy property in person. You\u2019ll have a free afternoon to continue exploring the sprawling estate, and there\u2019s lots more to see and do \u2013\u00a0from hiking or cycling along the French Broad River to tasting locally-made tipples at the on-site winery.\u00a0<\/p>\n Check out all of our itineraries in Canada<\/a> and the United States<\/a>, and see more new trips and experiences for 2025 with The Goods<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Switch up how you explore the United States and Canada with these all-new trips and experiences.\u00a0\u00a0 To put it mildly, if you can dream up an adventure, you can do it in North America.
