I
usually plan all our vacations using the internet and was skeptical
that your planning would trump what I could do on my own. But I was
wrong. The value of your insights, tips and advice far exceeded all of
our expectations and made this trip very memorable.

Dear Dan,
Another
year is winding down, and once again we have had the pleasure of
working with lots of adventurous families who find ways to keep
exploring in spite of the weak economy. Life is just too short to pass
up seeing the National Parks! Yellowstone had over three million
visitors for the third year in a row, despite an unusually late spring.
Snow was on the ground well into May, and a few of our clients caught
Yellowstone still sporting her winter clothes!

Wind Cave National Park
This
small gem of a park just acquired an additional 5,555 acres of ranch
land to add to the 30,000 acres of mixed-grass prairie and pine forest
that comprises the park.
Located
on the southeastern edge of the park, the new acquisition includes a
1,000 year old buffalo jump - a cliff used by Native Americans to drive
bison over the edge to their deaths - and a homestead dating back to 1882.

The Best Time to Visit Death Valley
While most of the national parks are gearing down this time of year, Death Valley is gearing up for high season.
Clients
often inquire about taking an RV trip through Death Valley in the
summer. But average highs are 99 degrees by May, with temperatures
averaging well over 100 through the end of September. Most RV companies
do not allow travel through Death Valley in summer because of these
extreme temperatures.
