Day 1 -
Early this morning we begin an exciting journey to the central United States. During the next fifteen days we will be visiting fifteen states and seeing some of the country's most famous attractions! Today we travel through Pennsylvania and Ohio en route to Indiana and our overnight stay.

Day 2 -
Today we travel to the Queen City of the Great Lakes, Chicago. We visit the Sky-deck Chicago (formerly Sears Tower). We'll take an elevator 1/4 mile into the sky to the 103rd floor of the third tallest building in the world for a spectacular Sky-deck view. We’ll see the Water Tower, and the D.L. Moody Bible Institute and church before we depart Chicago. We overnight in the Wisconsin Dells for the next two nights. Dinner tonight is a special treat at the Old Feed Mill Restaurant. (B,D)

Day 3 -
This morning in nearby Spring Green we visit Alex Jordan's unbelievable House on the Rock. Some folks say it is bizarre, others call it unique and fascinating. Perched high on a sixty-foot chimney of rock, it overlooks the breath-taking panorama of the valley some 450 feet below. The “House” is the original structure of what is now an extraordinary complex of rooms, streets and gardens. Discover exhibits and collections found nowhere else in the world, including the largest carousel in history, electric symphonies that fill up whole rooms, nostalgic gaslight streets of the 1800s, and collections of every imaginable kind.

This afternoon we enjoy a boat ride through the beautiful Upper Wisconsin Dells. We'll embark on a scenic journey through majestic sandstone bluffs that cradle the mighty Wisconsin River, and hear the legends of brave settlers and fearless Indians. This evening we attend the Wisconsin Opry which has been delighting audiences with its special brand of country, bluegrass, and gospel music since 1979. What could be more country than a good old fashioned home cooked meal? We’ll enjoy dinner at the Wisconsin Opry then revel in the sensational sounds kicked out by talented musicians on sizzlin’ fiddles and smokin’ guitars. Laugh at the zany antics that give every show a special down-home flavor! (B,D)

Day 4 -
This morning we travel northwest through the beautiful farmlands of Wisconsin to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. This afternoon on our city tour we’ll learn why there are two cities here instead of just one. We’ll also discover how these two cities got their names. We’ll visit beautiful Minnehaha Falls, and see the beautiful restoration of Harriet Island and hear about its history. This evening we’ll discover and explore the world's premier retail and entertainment complex---the Mall of America! Here in the world's largest shopping mall you'll find Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Nordstrom, and Sears, along with hundreds of specialty shops and dozens of restaurants to choose from. If you've heard fantastic stories about the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, this one is even more unbelievable. We spend the night in the Minneapolis area.(B)

Day 5 -
We depart the Minneapolis area this morning headed for North Dakota. In Little Falls we tour the boyhood home of Charles A. Lindbergh, the former United States Congressman who became famous for his 1927 New York to Paris flight. You will be sure that we are headed west when we enter the wide-open spaces of North Dakota, bound for Bismarck. (B)

Day 6 -
Marquis de Mores, a wealthy Frenchman, established the town of Medora and named it for his wife. He busied himself establishing a stagecoach line and beef-packing plant as well as experimenting with refrigerated railroad cars. We will see these old buildings, the ruins of the packing plant, and a 26-room mansion filled with French furnishings. Now we enter the Big Sky Country of Montana. We visit Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, the scene of Custer’s “last stand” where Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and 215 men were killed by Sioux and Cheyenne warriors on June 25, 1876. We continue to Billings, the largest city in Montana, for our overnight. (B)

Day 7 -
Today our travels lead us south into the Cowboy State of Wyoming to Cody for a two night stay. We’ll have lunch today at “Irma’s” located in Buffalo Bill’s original hotel. We visit the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. It includes the Buffalo Bill Museum, with personal belongings of the great showman; the Winchester Arms Museum, a complete collection of the Winchester Firearms Company; the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, and the Plains Indian Museum. You'll agree that this is one of the finest museums of its kind! You'll also enjoy the Old Trail Town, reconstructed on the site of Old Cody City. Buildings include a saloon, general store, museum, cabins and blacksmith shops. Tonight we attend the Cody Rodeo. (B,L)

Day 8 -
This morning we travel north to Yellowstone National Park, America's first and largest National Park. We'll see Old Faithful, then venture into an area of the park which stands on a broad, elevated plateau 7,800 feet above the level of the enclosed tableland. Visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, see plunging waterfalls twice as high as Niagara, and stroll wooden walkways by thermal steam vents, geysers, hot pools, and bubbly paint pots of deep green and blue. We return to Cody by way of Shoshone Canyon with its magnificent breathtaking beauty. (B)

Day 9 -
Today we travel into the Big Horn Mountains, where the land is rich and ideal for the grazing of livestock. For years, rustling and border disputes caused tension in the area. You'll see cowboys riding the range and perhaps even a chuck wagon or two. Before entering South Dakota we see Devils Tower, the first National Monument set aside for the American people by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. This gigantic landmark, a volcanic neck, rises 865 feet from the prairie like a tree stump. Late this afternoon we check into our Rapid City hotel for a two-night stay.(B)

Day 10 -
After breakfast we travel into the Black Hills of South Dakota to visit Bear Country USA, a refuge for bears, wolves, bison, and many other wild animals. Then we continue to Mount Rushmore. Where Gutzon Borglum began work on the project in 1927. We experience Mount Rushmore, where the faces of four great presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, stand out on a 6,000 foot mountain. We move on to Crazy Horse, the dream of another man, Korczak Ziolkowski, a sculptor who helped to fashion Mount Rushmore. Though Korczak died in 1947, his wife and family have continued to pursue his dream of carving the likeness of the great Indian Chief Crazy Horse into the mountain. We travel back through the Black Hills to our motel. Tonight you're in for a real western treat as we take in an authentic chuck wagon dinner and show! (B,D)

Day 11 -
You've heard about it and seen signs for it, this morning experience it . . . Wall Drug! Here the Husteads made a fortune advertising free ice water to tourists beginning in 1936. You'll have time for a snack or you may just wish to roam the streets of the western railroad town of Wall. Wall is the entrance to the Badlands, a multi-colored wasteland of weirdly formed gullies, canyons, ridges and spires. We'll make a number of sightseeing and picture stops. The famous Corn Palace is next on our list. The Corn Palace is newly decorated each year with 3,000 bushels of corn, grains and grasses creating scenic murals. We bid farewell to Mitchell and travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.(B)

Day 12 -
Today our route takes us south through Sioux City and Omaha. Continuing into the fertile plains of Missouri, we make our afternoon stop in the historic town of St. Joseph. Here we'll explore the Patee House Museum, a three-story museum featuring a collection of western lore, personal items that once belonged to Jesse James, memorabilia of the Pony Express, a huge steam engine, restored western store fronts, and the history of western communication from the telegraph to the telephone. We'll also tour the home of the infamous Jesse James. The James Home is located directly behind Patee House, and was only two blocks away from where the outlaw Jesse James was gunned down on April 3,1882, by Mt. Rushmore The Corn Palace Bob Ford. The Home contains a number of items owned by Jesse James and his family including coffin handles, bits of wood, and a pin Jesse James wore in his death photo, as well as numerous photos. We continue to Kansas City for our overnight stay. We briefly cross into Kansas on our way to Kansas City, Missouri. (B)

Day 13 -
This morning we visit the Arabia Steamboat Museum. Built in 1853, the Steamboat Arabia sank in the murky waters of the Missouri River in 1856. In 1989, the steamship and her cargo were rediscovered and resurrected in a massive excavation project and today we can explore the past through this perfectly preserved time capsule. In Independence we visit the Harry Truman Library and Museum. This complex houses personal and official papers of the Chief Executive, along with a replica of Truman's White House Office with the original furniture. Departing Independence, we travel to the Gateway of the West---St. Louis. We have dinner tonight in one of the fine local restaurants. (B,D)

Day 14 -
This morning we marvel at the Gateway Arch and explore the fascinating Museum of Westward Expansion, located beneath the base of the arch. We have tickets for the tram ride to the very crest of the arch, from where you have a breathtaking view of St. Louis and the Mississippi River Valley. We forge eastward through fertile farmlands of Sothern Illinois and Indiana toward our overnight stay in Richmond IN. (B,L)

Day 15 -
This morning is a good time to reflect on our fifteen day journey through fifteen states. Your visit to the Dakotas and Yellowstone is no longer a dream, it's a memory---one that you'll remember and share for years to come.
