Land Cruise Destinations

Ottawa, Quebec City, and Montreal This trip is a Merrill Phillips favorite! "It's like going to France without the trans-Atlantic flight." (Passport required.) Motorcoach all the way; however, you may wish to stay in Quebec City forever! |

Michigan's Portage Point Inn Resembling the family lodge made famous in the movie Dirty Dancing, the Portage Point Inn was the site of Land Cruise’s first Mystery Trip in 2005. Established in 1903, the historic Portage Point Inn is a truly special place of charm, tradition and nature. Enjoy the charm of yesteryear – with the amenities of today. The old-fashioned rocking chairs on the huge porch overlooking Portage Lake are so addictive that I expect to pry you out when it's time to leave! |

Oregon Trail to Wyoming and South Dakota Here is a great story! Before the trans-continental railroad was completed, families would pack all of their worldly possessions in an ox-powered wooden wagon and travel across America. Our trip traces their steps into Wyoming. Along the way, you will stand in deep ruts made by the 1850 wagon trains ... it is fascinating! After that we head to the scenic Black Hills of South Dakota for our tour of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the 1880 Train. You should do this Land Cruise! |
