The West Coast of the United States, where dreams become reality
With family or friends, on an escorted tour or for a road trip, a grand journey in the western United States inevitably includes the natural and architectural wonders that stretch as far as the eye can see in the American West. The itinerary features a staggering number of must-see stops on the famous Route 66, "the Mother Road," and on the highways that crisscross the USA, leading you into a new gold rush: the fine sandy beaches of Malibu, Venice Beach, or even Santa Monica, the cliffs and giant sequoias of Yosemite National Park, the scorching desert of Death Valley, the geological beauties of Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park…
The Spirit of Adventure on the Legendary Coast
If the American dream had to be summed up in one place, it would undoubtedly be located on the west coast. We were all immersed, during our childhood and adolescence, by the magical landscapes and mythical cities of the "West Coast" thanks to Hollywood cinema. This region evokes iconic images of freedom, innovation, and endless opportunities. It embodies the spirit of adventure and the quest for success that have shaped the collective imagination through cult films and captivating stories. The west coast is often perceived as a territory where anything seems possible, offering a spectacular setting and a unique atmosphere that continue to inspire and fascinate the whole world.
The Must-Sees of the American West
Yellowstone National Park, spanning Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, is the second largest in the United States. It offers an exceptional ecosystem where two-thirds of the world's geysers occur. It boasts a prestigious wildlife including black bears, elk, bison, grizzlies, coyotes, and wolves.
San Francisco, in northern California, captivates with its many charms. The city attracts thanks to the Golden Gate Bridge, its cable cars, its steep streets, and the Victorian houses of the Haight Ashbury district. Alcatraz Island is also a must-see.
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a site of spectacular beauty. Carved by the Colorado River, it offers breathtaking viewpoints and an endless palette of geological layers whose colors change throughout the day.
Yosemite National Park, in the Sierra Nevada to the east of California, is another natural wonder listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's a paradise for trekking and hiking, with its glaciers, rivers, waterfalls, and forests where the giant sequoia reigns.
Discovering the West Coast of the United States
For about twenty years, the American Pacific coast has become synonymous with high-quality vineyards and grape varieties, cultivated under the warm Californian sun. The valleys of Napa and Sonoma or the county of Santa Barbara, made famous by the film "Sideways," are now explored with a tasting glass in hand.
Off the coast of Seattle and Washington State, the San Juan archipelago is the perfect place to watch orcas, seals, porpoises, and sea otters in crystal-clear waters, while kayaking or boating. And on land, the natural scenery is equally impressive.
The Navajo Indians await you in "Monument Valley" on the semi-autonomous territory that the American government granted them in 1958 in northeastern Arizona and Utah. This site is a symbol of the American West popularized by great Hollywood westerns.
A Wild World Between Ocean and Mountains
In the states of Washington and Oregon, nature has created an ideal environment for all species: elk hide in the rainforests, birds color the Willamette Valley, salmon swim up the Columbia River, and grizzlies roam the vast forests of the Cascades. California is also rich in wildlife. The Californian flag features a bear, symbolizing the presence of these animals in national parks, alongside cougars and other mountain lions. Gray whales travel along the Pacific during great migrations, offering a unique spectacle off the coast. Sea lions, on the other hand, bask at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
