National Parks & Monuments Tour 2011.

National Parks & Monuments Escorted Tour in 2011.

These articles are all about the first escorted coach tour I ever did. It started in Denver, Colorado & finished in Las Vegas, Nevada, but I also added on an extension to stay in San Francisco for a few days.

I visited many different National & State Parks, many National & State Monuments & saw some of America's greatest scenery & natural wonders before meeting a cousin I never knew I had until a few days before I went on this trip.

Devils Tower, Wyoming.

I was on an escorted tour in 2011 but we were not scheduled to visit Devils Tower. We were supposed to be going to the site of the battle of Custer's Last Stand but due to landslides, we couldn't get through to it.

Alan Morris in Saloon 10, Deadwood, South Dakota.

Whilst on my escorted coach tour in 2011, I stopped off at Deadwood, South Dakota. I only stopped one night here & I didn't get to see much of it. Hopefully, I will get back again someday.
