Yee ha! what’s behind the surge in demand for Wild West Travel?
Giddy up! From ranches to rodeos, Pelorus Travel invites you on an epic Wild West journey
It’s official: the boys are back in town. That’s Cowboys we’re talking, with a global resurgence in all things ranchy and beansy, as evinced by the smash-hit Paramount+ TV series Yellowstone. But let’s not forget the cowgirls too, from Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album to the resurgent fashion in cowboy boots and Stetsons.
Yes, the allure of the plains has never been stronger – as bespoke travel company Pelorus can tell you. Since planting their flag in the States in 2021, Pelorus have been orchestrating dream getaways – and they’ve now witnessed a 30% surge in inquiries for their trips to the American Mid-West. It seems scores of City Slickers are relishing the chance to unleash their inner-Wyatt Earps and Calamity Janes, courtesy of some epic road trips.
Imagine horseback riding through iconic national parks in Colorado and Utah, rock climbing, taking a helicopter ride over Bryce Canyon, or kayaking around Lake Powell. Or perhaps simply chilling in a in a luxury camp in Monument Valley is more your speed? Capped off with a campfire dinner under the stars accompanied by a Navajo Code Talker, offering insights into Navajo culture and history.
That’s just one of the tours Pelorus have to offer: wildlife fans will want to get up close (well, maybe not too close) with the critters in Yellowstone National Park, where they can spot grizzlies, wolves and elk, and witness the majestic American bison in their natural habitat. And what’s a cowboy experience without a little rodeo action? Pelorus also grant exclusive access to behind-the-scenes rodeo preparations, providing a rare glimpse into the heart of cowboy culture. Elsewhere, there’s geothermal wonders to explore, along with white-water rafting, and dinner cooked over hot coals under the stars.
Meanwhile, in Montana’s stunning countryside, there are orange-hued mountains and endless wildflower meadows for City Slickers to hike or horseback through, rivers to waterski or kayak on. And for those seeking a slower pace, serene riverbank BBQs or rejuvenating spa treatments.
Just some of the delights on offer, courtesy of the bespoke luxury travel company founded by former British Army captains Jimmy Carroll and Geordie Mackay Lewis, with experiences drawn from their own military reconnaissance trips over deserts or by helicopter. Says Jimmy, “To explore Western USA is one thing, but to experience life on a working ranch is another. So remote and removed from anywhere, these vast swathes of land unveil a myriad of opportunity for adventure, combined with space to breath and unwind.”
It’s all part of their mission to exceed clients’ wildest dreams through their vast network of contacts, with tailor-made trips to truly help redefine our view of the world and draw attention to the environmental impact.
So, saddle up! The cowboy comeback is in full swing, and Pelorus is your ticket to the ultimate Wild West experience.
