Bid Adieu To Singledom With An Epic U.S. Getaway

Planning a bachelorette party can be as time consuming as preparations for the entire wedding! Every groom- or bride-to-be wants their party to be unlike any other celebration that they or their friends have ever been a part of. Before tying the knot, head to these offbeat American destinations for a unique and unforgettable experience with your best buds!

Arkansas

Known as The Natural State for stunning mountain vistas and clear running streams, Arkansas is so much more. Cities like Little Rock, Hot Springs and Bentonville offer a cosmopolitan feel, while a visit to one-of-a-kind Eureka Springs will stay with you for a lifetime. The Delta region is where the blues were born and Johnny Cash’s musical journey began. Bill Clinton, another Arkansas son, also launched his political path in the state, and sites commemorating the legacies of both Cash and Clinton can be toured today.

Arkansas is also the rice capital of the world and home to one of only three purse museums on the planet. Throw in Crater of Diamonds State Park, where you can dig for real diamonds and keep what you find, and Arkansas truly is a unique treasure to discover!

Go on a road trip with your amigos and experience both natural and musical landmarks along one of a dozen scenic byways; start with Hot Springs to Eureka Springs. Along the way, visit Washington State Park to learn what it was like to live as a pioneer or head to the Museum of Native American History to see pottery and tools left by Arkansas’s earliest people.

Arizona

From road trips and outdoor thrills to rejuvenating resorts and unique local cuisine, Arizona teems with exciting travel adventures. The state’s cinema-ready canyons and deserts have long served as the backdrop for movies, including “Raising Arizona,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Thelma & Louise.” Whether it’s the panoramic landscapes punctuated by red rocks or alpine forests opening to hidden lakes, the view is enchanting and sobering, but also accessible for hiking, biking and other adventures.

Experience the Old West by touring a mining museum or enjoy a Western-themed amusement park, then savour a steakhouse dinner. You’ll also find the American Indian influence everywhere, from rock petroglyphs to silver and turquoise jewellery in high-end shops; that's because 22 tribes call Arizona home. Many tribal nations, including Salt River Pima-Maricopa, Gila, While Mountain Apache and Navajo, are open to the public.

Avid producers of wine, Arizona’s vineyards and award-winning wineries make for an amazing tour or site for farm-to-table dining. Not to be outdone, brewpubs and gastropubs enliven the urban scene. End your American adventure by pampering yourself with spa treatments at elegant resorts in some of the state’s biggest cities, which also offer golf courses overlooking the rustic desert landscape.

Montana

Montana is a rare place, where you and your friends can slow down and enjoy the grandeur of nature and the American West. With just one million residents spread out over more than 38-million hectares (an area larger than Germany), it is one of America’s greatest unspoiled treasures of scenic lands and wildlife. Travelers will discover that Montana is a mix of traditional cultures and natural beauty, making it the ideal place to experience the history of the frontier and authentic Americana.

The state is home to a few small, sophisticated cities where beautiful surroundings have attracted adventurers, artists, writers, musicians and outdoorsmen for decades. Along the highways that cross the mountains and plains are tiny western towns that have changed so little over the years that arriving for a rodeo or festival can feel like stepping back in time. But whether visiting a town of 400 or a city of 40,000 (large for Montana!), one thing you and your gang are sure to find is truly friendly people who are willing to share their version of the good life through food, hospitality and the outdoors. 

And, if you’re looking for a classic road trip experience, take the historic Highway 89 Route, which connects some of the most spectacular national parks in the West! This route begins with Glacier National Park and ends in Yellowstone National Park and covers approximately 580 kilometers from start to finish.
