𝙍𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 2

Our second tour to Asheville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for Christmas at Biltmore was another hit! 🎄Our itinerary was packed with the same wonderful activities and places but in reverse order making the Biltmore experience our final destination. This trip was filled with beautiful ladies many of whom were traveling with their girlfriends, sister(s) or mother for a holiday getaway and a few gents too. Our motorcoach was filled with laughter, reindeer games with gifts and prizes and so much fun. And let’s not forget the ugly Christmas sweater contest! To all the delightful Treasured Travelers, many of whom were Newbies, thanks for creating memories and having fun with Bayouland Tours!

Last week, we kicked off our holiday season with a trip to Asheville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! 🎄Our first stop in Asheville was a visit to the historic Grove Park Inn for a gourmet lunch in the Blue Ridge Restaurant and then a stroll to view the International Gingerbread Competition pieces. The creativity and detail of these pieces is extraordinary. The photos don’t do justice! Staying at The Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate was a wonderful experience and put us in the middle of activity between Antler Hill Village and The Winery. While in Asheville, we enjoyed dinner and a folk & bluegrass band at the Black Mountain Opry. And, we explored the city on a morning sightseeing tour with a local guide. The Biltmore Mansion in all its Christmas finery was something to behold! A group dinner at the Stable Cafe’ was followed by a candlelight tour of the mansion. The next morning, we returned to the mansion grounds for strolling, shopping and lunch before heading to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. In Pigeon Forge, we enjoyed dinner at the iconic Applewood Farmhouse Grill and were entertained at the Country Tonite show full of old country favorites, some gospel, modern hits and a tickle of the funny bone. We began the next day with a local guide who lead us on The Life of Dolly Tour. It was so interesting seeing the sights and hearing stories of Dolly’s family and her childhood. After spending some time on The Island in Pigeon Forge for lunch, we made our way to Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas for an afternoon and evening of shows, a train ride, dinner and fun! Our local guide joined us again for our last day in the Smoky Mountains where we took an informative drive through the mountains. Then, lunch and shopping time in downtown Gatlinburg before i look beginning our journey home. In Chattanooga, we had a tasty farewell dinner and delighted in the music of The Briars with a private performance and ended the night with some reindeer games. There was lots of laughter, more reindeer games with gifts and prizes and the ugly Christmas sweater contest on this tour! Thanks to all the great Treasured Travelers who made this a fabulous, fun-filled trip full of memories!

Special thanks to Jodie, our new driver! She fit right in with our whole crew and did an outstanding job!

Looking forward to Round 2 in a few days!

What an amazing journey through American West! An adventure ✔️checked off many Bucket Lists. We began in Salt Lake City with the opportunity to watch and listen while the magnificent Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearsed for their Sunday performance. It was so moving! Then, we made our way to Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons. A float trip down the Snake River provided some stunning views as did our time at Jackson Lake Lodge for lunch. We entered Yellowstone on this day and experienced the Lower Geyer Basin including Old Faithful and the Artists Painted Pots. What a sight! Our tour continued the next day through Yellowstone and included the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone (Upper & Lower Falls), Canyon Village and Yellowstone Lake. The biggest surprise this day??? A storm of BB sized hail that made it look like winter! We said goodbye to Yellowstone and made our way to Cody, WY where we enjoyed a chuckwagon dinner & the show at Cody Cattle Company before heading to Stampede Park and the Cody Night Rodeo. It was the first rodeo for many in our group! And a few even climbed on Norman the Bull for a fantastic photo op! We visited the fascinating Buffalo Bill Center of the West and over the next few days, Sheridan and Keystone… experienced Little Bighorn National Park through the eyes and illustrations of our Native American guide, Olivia Rose… went to Devils Tower and attended the Illumination Lighting Ceremony at Mt. Rushmore in the evening. A few Veterans from our group participated in the flag retirement ceremony. Talk about awe-inspiring! Our stay at K Bar S Lodge for two nights was exceptional and provided an extraordinary view of George. We returned to Mt Rushmore in the morning light before making our way to Crazy Horse Monument. Had an adventurous afternoon at Custer State Park with lunch at the State Game Lodge and a Buffalo Jeep Safari excursion where we saw hundreds of Buffalo! So many Mother’s and their “cinnamons” were a sight to behold. We ended our tour with a visit to Badlands National Park, the famous Wall Drug and the unique Corn Palace. We were fortunate to have had an exceptional Local Tour Guide with 20+ years of experience in Wyoming and South Dakota. He poured into us interesting facts, history, geology lessons and much more. This tour was packed with the sights and sounds of The American West and a great group of Treasured Travelers. Thanks to all who traveled with us!
