Holiday in the USA

Why opt for an exotic far-away destination, when you have so much to discover in the country where you live?! Exactly our thoughts so this year we decided to explore a part of the USA and we ended up planning a real road trip. After all, the text "Cross Country" on Staszek's car is there for a purpose and still had to be proven. Via Wisconsin and Minnesota, we went to the Badlands in South-Dakota. The Blackhills with Mount Rushmore and then just over the border to the Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Then on to the other side of the State for Yellowstone NP, where the largest concentration of geysers in the world can be admired, and Tetons NP. While in the area, we spent one night in the town of Aspen, Colorado, and then proceeded to Rocky Mountains NP, where you can really feel the altitude. On our way back we also spent a short time in Boulder, a great university town, and Denver, where we spent the night in a most amazing B&B. This was really the time of year to go to these national parks and enjoy nature: fall was beginning to show with all the colourful leaves on the trees and the tons of people that visit this region during the summer had gone. Over 4000 miles, 900 pictures and 8 states later, we came home. It was a great, highly recommendable trip.
