I was on Kim’s amazing six-day tour of the Asheville area. We covered so much ground in that time. You really need that time to see the city and the highlights of the surrounding area, which I would never have found on my own. It amazed me that she was able to coordinate the touring part with meals, events, and activities. Our van driver was very knowledgeable too. Scheduling of activities ran very smoothly and not rushed, yet we got to do and see so much. I can’t imagine how much planning goes into this trip. Thank you, Kim.

Fields of Wildflowers
Melting Glaciers
Join us to explore Glacier, America’s tenth designated national park, in the summer season. All types of nature can be found here–peaks and valleys, pristine lakes, alpine meadows, rushing rivers, and ancient forests . We will be based in Whitefish, in a ski resort west of the park. We have planned the perfect trip to make sure you get the most of this beautiful region.
On any day, there will be options for less strenuous activities, such as walking Apgar Village’s accessible trails, taking a shuttle to Lake McDonald to explore its lodge and walk around the lodge grounds. Kayaks may be rented in Apgar Village for a paddle around Lake McDonald. Bicycle rental is also available, as are tours on the famous red buses.

Previous Guests Praise Veg Jaunts and Journeys
A little extra payment for your time! Thanks so much for all the help and research, it decreased my stress a lot to work with you. Our trip was so great! Excellent recommendations, and we can’t thank you enough! The resort was a real treat, very very nice. La Gomera was the perfect counter balance. Our stay at the inn was magical-charming, cozy and perfect. Thank you so much for the great recommendations!! It really did make for an amazing vegan honeymoon and vacation!
I love having a vegan travel agent. Thank you so much for thinking of these details. It will be great to have this all planned out and all I have to do is execute the plan.
