About Far Horizons Route MapVisiting

In August 2012 our first Mississippi Horizons group sailed on the inaugural cruise of the newly built river boat “Queen of the Mississippi”.

Our 2017 tour revisits all of the same highlights in a more relaxed manner, and stays at some new hotels while visiting sites covering American Indian history, three music Meccas (New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville), historic slavery and Civil War sites and the scenic splendours of Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks.

Our journey begins with three days in San Francisco before flying to Albuquerque in New Mexico from where we begin a 7 day journey through the native American Indian lands of New Mexico and Colorado, including Chaco

Canyon, historic Durango, where we take a ride on the famous narrow gauge railroad to the old mining town of Silverton, Mesa Verde National Park and the ancient pueblo near the picturesque town of Taos with it’s bridge over the Rio Grande.

In Santa Fe we visit the Wheelwright Museum and Santa Clara Reservation to see a native Indian dance show and pottery making techniques.

From New Orleans we embark on the Queen of the Mississippi for an 8-day cruise to Baton Rouge, St Francisville, Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Civil War battlefields at Vicksburg and the music capital of Memphis where we visit Elvis Presley's home Graceland.

We drive to the country music capital Nashville then fly to Wyoming to explore the scenic beauty of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

The next day we visit the California Wine Country. In the Napa Valley we take a wine-tasting luncheon at Domaine Chandon winery which is owned by the French champagne company, Moet & Chandon. The nearby Sonoma Valley, known as the “Valley of the Moon”, is steeped in wine, literary and political history, with its historic haciendas and culinary shops. The region is also renowned for the production of Camembert and Brie, as well as many distinguished local cheeses. On our return we take a late afternoon cruise across San Francisco Bay back to our hotel.

We take the morning flight to Albuquerque, capital of NEW MEXICO, where we take an excursion by the world’s longest aerial tramway to Sandia Peak for a Western Steak Dinner overlooking the mountains and twinkling lights of the city. We stay overnight at Albuquerque Old Town Hotel.

After a morning tour of Albuquerque, visiting the old town and the Mexican section, we begin a fascinating road journey through the states of New Mexico and Colorado.

Mississippi Horizons

Our journey begins with a United Airlines flight from Sydney to San Francisco, CALIFORNIA, crossing the International Date Line and gaining a day inflight. On arrival we transfer to The Fairmont Hotel for three nights. Afternoon at leisure.

On our full day tour we explore some of San Francisco's many highlights including the Golden Gate Bridge, a cable car ride to Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown.

First stop is the “Sky City” of Acoma, a Native American pueblo (village) built on top of a 112m sandstone mesa. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. We tour the village and meet the local Indians before continuing to Gallup for overnight stay at at the boutique-style, moderate Comfort Suites Hotel.

The next morning we drive to Chaco Canyon National Monument, the heart of the Anazazi Indian homes dating back to the 12th century. We take a guided tour of the majestic ruins of a people who, without knowledge of the wheel, built hundreds of kilometres of straight-as-an-arrow roads and whose history and migration are clouded in mystery.

We continue driving across the border into COLORADO arriving at the historic town of Durango, founded in 1879 by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway. We stay for two nights at the Strater Hotel, its grand Victorian bedrooms filled with authentic walnut antiques and period wallpapers.

From Durango we take a ride on the famous narrow Gauge Railroad to the old mining town of Silverton, travelling in one of the exclusive Presidential Class carriages with private outdoor viewing platform. Completed in 1892 to haul silver and gold

In the afternoon we continue driving to the city of Santa Fe, with its quaint adobe buildings and distinctive Spanish architecture. We ore from mines of the San Juan Mountains,

the railway was also used by passengers - who considered the views to be equally as precious as the cargo. From Silverton we return to Durango by road, crossing three 3,000-metre-high mountain passes, visiting en route the Mesa Verde National Park with its ancient Anazazi Indian cave dwellings.

We drive back into NEW MEXICO to visit the picturesque town of Taos, once home to the frontiersman Kit Carson and the novelist DH Lawrence. We visit the ancient Taos pueblo, which has been continuously inhabited for 1,000 years, and see the bridge spanning the 200-metre-deep gorge of the Rio Grande.

Our full day sightseeing tour of New Orleans includes a walk through the French Quarter and Garden district with a carriage ride and

visits to the Louisiana State Museum, Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World and some of the famous historical houses.

We take an excursion to the Bayou swamplands for a boat ride to view the abundant wildlife. The swamp creatures recognise the boats as part of their normal environment and it is not unusual for jumping alligators to come within a few metres of the boat. We then visit and have lunch at Nottoway antebellum plantation, situated on the banks of the river, to visit the beautiful Italianate and Greek Revival-style home with its 64 rooms and 200 windows.

We embark on the Queen of the Mississippi stern-wheeler and begin cruising up the Mississippi towards Oak Alley Plantation for a visit of this "Grande Dame of the Great River Road". The 400-metre canopy of giant live oak trees, believed to be nearly 300 years old, forms an impressive avenue leading to the classic Greek-revival style antebellum home.

We continue cruising past several Wildlife Refuges, including the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 2000 to conserve, restore, and manage native forested wetland habitats for migratory birds, aquatic resources, and endangered and threatened plants and animals. We arrive at Natchez, in the State of MISSISSIPPI

Celebrating its 300th year, Natchez is a city full of history and Southern hospitality. Our stay in Natchez includes visits to its gardens, historic homes, and museums and an optional concert in the music room of the JN Stone House.

Illinois Monument, Vicksburg National Military Park

The city of Vicksburg served as a pivotal turning point during the American Civil War. We drive through the National Military Park which commemorates the campaign, siege and defense of Vicksburg.

We spend the day cruising upstream towards our ultimate destination, the musical city of Memphis, TENNESSEE. With its music museums, art galleries, river boats, voodoo shops, fortune tellers and palm readers, Memphis is a melting pot of cultural and historical attractions.
