About 4.5 years ago, my wife and I were interested in a family Yellowstone vacation as our two sons…read morewere finally old enough for the trip. We had never been to Yellowstone, and I thought I would be able to call a few weeks ahead to book hotel rooms and a rental car, I was terribly mistaken in my naïveté. Luckily, we stumbled across Austin Adventures in a travel magazine and gave them a call to see if we could book one of their family tours. They had one opening left on the first tour of the season and we jumped on it. I will wholeheartedly say that this was one of the best family vacations we have ever experienced. The tour guides were unbelievably knowledgeable about the park, environment, wildlife, etc. They provided an amazing experience throughout the park, at the attractions, on the hiking trail, in the hotels; everything was taken care of. Immediately after our vacation, we booked a tour for my wife's parents and our children. Again, they delivered an amazing customer experience. After that trip, we booked a private tour for our employees. This was the last tour of the season, which could have meant AA might have been experiencing some fatigue from a long season. But, it was anything but that, we had a wonderful tour. Our employees still speak about it to this day. We had another tour this season, everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. AA has only improved on their impeccable customer service.

Austin Adventures…read morerecommended that I purchase travel insurance for the trip and provided a link to their travel insurance partner. I purchased the travel insurance. I also made airplane reservations and a hotel reservation for the night before the tour. In April, I was informed that Austin Adventures was cancelling the trip and refund my payment for the trip. However, Austin Adventures refused to refund my travel insurance premium. In addition, I lost money on the airplane tickets. My total losses were over$1000. I spoke to Austin Adventures. I explained I understood that trips are cancelled from time to time. But, that should be financially neutral to me. I lost over $1000 trying to book a trip with them and following their recommendations. I asked if they were OK with that. They told me they have been in business for over 40 years and were highly rated. In conclusion, be very careful dealing with this company. They may cancel your trip and you could lose money you have invested in it. I have since seen other reviews that have reported similar problems. Beware!

I just came back from my first trip with Go Native America, a company that conducts several tours…read moreto various Native American Indian reservations throughout the year. Serle Chapman, head guide and co-owner of the company, was our guide. He had written several books about the culture and history of Native America and created the company after receiving numerous calls from people about visiting the places and people that he had written about. Our two-week tour was spent visiting the Navajo and Hopi reservations in Arizona. As someone who has had next to no real knowledge about the Native American Indians I was intrigued and enchanted by this experience. Not only did we visit all the major sites - Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle, Canyon de Chelly (and may more!) - we were able to "see" them through native eyes by learned and learning about the indigenuous culture, history, and spirituality in this region. This was such an interesting and rewarding way to tour Arizona Coming from a demanding and fast paced job, this was certainly a welcome, and surprisingly delightful, retreat! Go Native America is included in National Geographic Traveler's 2007 & 2010 "50 Tours of a Lifetime".

It would be great for kids, long enough to get some energy out but not too exhausting. At the end is a nice shady, grassy area with picnic tables, but the walk itself is unshaded so be careful in the heat. The caves themselves are pretty cool, not to mention the birds' nests and views are interesting in their own right. Amazing to imagine all the history there! The ranger at the visitor's center was very knowledgeable and friendly, and it has a very nice little museum and clean restrooms. I'm glad we went!

They were also pretty steep. There were some artifacts on display at the visitor center. But the actual pictographs are incredibly faded and even with binoculars they were not worth the drive. We weren't trying to get there at opening but we found out there is a gate on the road that doesn't open until 9:00 and the visitors center doesn't open until 10. Make the drive if you want a quiet location where you can hear the cows mooing in the distance. Otherwise, invest your time somewhere else.

The visitor center has a relief map of Bighorn Canyon and the surrounding areas which is cool to look at. There's also some geological, historical and photo exhibits on the natural and cultural history of the area. There's even a sign about "What's that smell?" in the area, which I definitely had wondered about driving through the town. The smell in question was the sugar beet processing! I had seen trucks of what I now know are sugar beets and the kind of sweet, earthy aroma in the air. We hiked the Sullivan's Knob Trail which was a quick easy hike, while the Upper Layout Creek Trail was tough! You can technically drive a bit on the dirt road for the latter, but you definitely need a high clearance vehicle because there are deep ruts. We also saw some of the wild Pryor Mountain Wild Horses on the side of the rod while driving, so drive slowly!

Plenty Coups' story is equally fascinating: honored as the last of the traditional chiefs of his tribe, his story is entwined with this park, part of his original land allotment and place upon which he built his home (modeled on Mt. Vernon according to the details). As one of the first to understand the loss of the way of life of the Native American tribes, he settled in this location after seeing it in a vision. The cabin is larger than a standard log home of the era, and has an upstairs, as well. Also included on the property is separate building used as a community store, according to the descriptions. The park itself also has a teepee set up next to the home, and a museum and visitor center that does a great job describing the park and the residents of the surrounding area. It's a nice historical park with a short (less than a mile) trail around the property and along the creek, and also offers a picnic area. There's an audio tour available, but the markers along the path and around the home provide a nice self-guided tour if that's your preference.
