Explore the places that helped define the popular notion of the American West. See the sights which inspired both Native American and pioneer. Learn from the history, bask in the beauty, step into the past.

You will visit National Parks, museums, frontier towns and Reservations; see animals, monuments and beautiful, expansive vistas. This is the land of Crazy Horse, Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull, Wild Bill Hickock and Chief Joseph; the place of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Treaty of Fort Laramie, Custer's Last Stand and the Nez Perce War; the heart of the American West.
