"To the lover of pure wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world," wrote John Muir in 1879. Although the prospectors and traders of Muir`s time have been replaced by adventurers sporting cameras and binoculars, Alaska`s vibrant frontier spirit and overwhelming natural grandeur still have the power to enliven the senses. So bring your family and experience it firsthand. Marvel at the snow-clad immensity of the surrounding mountains, hike to an awe-inspiring glacier, pedal the Kenai Peninsula`s wooded roads to a spectacular overlook and view marine life on Kachemak Bay. By bike, foot, boat and dog sled, Alaska with Backroads is an unforgettable family destination.

Alaska`s vibrant frontier spirit and overwhelming natural grandeur have the power to stagger the senses. Colossal mountains, sparkling glaciers, abundant wildlife, expansive tundra and wildflower-filled meadows all challenge your sense of scale. Hike through the Chugach National Forest, pedal beneath glacier-carved peaks , paddle in the sheltered coves and lagoons off Yukon Island, float down the Kenai River and walk on an enormous ice field. Wildlife abounds on land and at sea.

In Arizona`s Sonoran Desert, a vast expanse of sky opens upon a landscape as beautiful as it is rugged, and as rich in history as it is in fascinating flora and fauna. In the spring, prickly pear cactus, desert sand verbena and evening primrose burst to life, adding splashes of sweet fragrance and bright pinks, purples and yellows to the earthy terrain. Bike with your family through Saguaro National Park, stopping beneath the towering succulents to see a roadrunner zip by your feet. Explore the Altar Valley`s rolling grassland and rocky outcrops, and browse the art galleries of historic Tubac. Add top-notch cuisine, two luxurious resorts and an authentic guest ranch and you`ve got the real Arizona experience.

A slender finger of desert land, Baja is cradled by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the brilliant-blue Sea of Cortez to the east - a picturesque balance of sunshine, sand and cactus-covered hills. At sea and on land, natural wonders abound in southern Baja. Bike in the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and hike along spectacular cliffs by the Pacific. Kayak and snorkel through protected lagoons and inlets while pelicans and frigate birds soar overhead. Meet locals who are happy to share their culture, history and traditions. Each evening, a sunset almost too dramatic to believe closes the chapter on another perfect day in Baja.

The majestic scale of Death Valley National Park exalts the senses of adults and kids alike. It`s a place of surprising natural beauty, intriguing topographic extremes and ever-changing weather.

First contested by the Romans and Celts, and later by the Germans and the French, tiny Alsace showcases a compelling blend of cultures that`s certain to delight your family. Here in the far eastern reaches of France, amid glacier-scoured valleys and lush farmland, you`ll discover ancient towns whose feudal ruins tell of battles won and lost. Pedal through a string of idyllic wine villages along the famed Route des Vins, which hugs the misty foothills of the Vosges Mountains. Adults taste world-class rieslings and gewurztraminers while the kids visit a medieval castle. Then venture across the Rhine River and into Germany`s Black Forest, a mythical area synonymous with spas, Spatburgunder and primeval pine woodlands. As for the local kid-approved highlights? Canoeing and, of course, chocolate cake!

Trek past glacier-fed lakes in the shadow of towering peaks. Travel into the heart of the park on Going-to-the-Sun Road, which, according to Outside magazine, "provides a year`s worth of extraordinary mountain scenery in one trip."

Backroads invites you and your family to discover the tapestry of history, culture and extraordinary natural delights that blankets the diverse country of Peru. Beneath lofty Andean peaks and shifting clouds lie the remnants of an ancient civilization. Fascinating archaeological ruins and traces of Inca architectural heritage are found at every turn. Setting off with our local expert, you and your family journey from Cusco, the former religious center and capital of the Inca Empire, to humble Quechua villages and the stunning ruins of Machu Picchu. Permits to hike the Inca Trail are extremely limited. We recommend booking a minimum of 4-6 months prior to departure in order to significantly increase your chance of securing a permit. If permits are unavailable during some seasons we will take a train to Aguas Calientes, bus to the entrance and hike into Machu Picchu.
