You don’t need to venture outside the contiguous US to find a hidden holiday spot. From sea to shining sea, the United States has miles upon miles of secluded paradise with hardly a soul in sight. Head for the wild and expansive backcountry of Utah or the serenity of the Hudson Valley, and your vacation will be carefree. Find solitude and peaceful retreats on your travels – these adventures are bookable with Culture Trip.
1 . Utah and Colorado, for rejuvenation by the rocks

Utah and Colorado prove that some of the most secluded places in the US are also some of the most stunning. See the epic rock formations in Arches National Park and the forest-covered mountains of Colorado during this eight-day trip. You’ll hike, wild swim, raft and explore the secluded backcountry. Not that it’s entirely secluded; you may spot a few black bears lounging in the living room that is Rocky Mountain National Park.

2 . Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, for year-round outdoor fun

When it comes to vacation spots in the US for nature and adventure lovers, Utah is a top pick. From the stark white slopes of Brian Head to the crimson-hued hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park, all-season fun on foot, skis and ATVs is readily available. Add in the cool urban hubs of Salt Lake and Park City, and you’ve got a great mix of culture and outdoor fun. Get to know Zion, Bryce and Utah’s Navajo Nation on this low-impact four-day trip.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel – and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Epic Trips, Mini Trips and Sailing Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travellers and friends who want to explore the world together.

Epic Trips are deeply immersive 8 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and enough down time to really relax and soak it all in. Our Mini Trips are small and mighty - they squeeze all the excitement and authenticity of our longer Epic Trips into a manageable 3-5 day window. Our Sailing Trips invite you to spend a week experiencing the best of the sea and land in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm – and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
