August in the United States means it's summertime and the livin' is easy
If you're not fond of snow, ice, or rain, but the US is on your bucket list, August is the month to cross it off. While temps in the southern states can soar, places with notoriously long, cold, winters like Montana and Alaska are thawed, warm, and perfect for outdoor adventures. In the northern states, the summer season is short but sweet, and locals in Maine and the Pacific Northwest spend most days enjoying life alfresco. Trust us, it's as dreamy as it sounds.

An exhilarating adventure! This tour offers a fantastic selection of hikes & scenery in the National Parks (Bryce Canyon & Monument Valley by Jeep were my favourite). Our tour leader Matt was exceptional. As a lone female traveller from the UK, I felt very safe. Totally recommend!

What an amazing trip! Alaska is beautiful and this is a great way to see a small slice of it the best way possible, getting out and being active! If you just sit on a bus, you're going to miss the best parts. Highly recommend!

A really well thought out tour with some must see scenery, I thought that the guide (Matt) we had was fantastic and helped build a family feel to the group immediately. Matt showed some extensive knowledge of the areas we visited; the cultures and state rules which made us all feel comfortable! I wouldn’t hesitate booking another trip with Intrepid!

Travis our leader was exceptional and made this trip extra memorable. Seeing Alaska with this tour allowed us to go deeper and truly experience it. The views were breathtaking even on a drive, the food was 20/10, the accomodations were MUCH better than expected, and activities were so fun! Wish the trip could have been longer!

The Alaska hike, bike and kayak tour was just what I needed! The amazing mountain and sea views took my breath away and we saw moose two different times! Our tour guide was passionate about being in the outdoors and educating us all along the way.
