I just finished a trip with them to Yosemite (my third visit), Sequoia, and Kings Canyon national parks. It was great. For visiting national parks in depth, there is nothing better.

Next year I plan on two more: Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bike trip along with the Hiawatha Trail, and three national parks in one trip (Big Bend, Carlsbad Caverns, and Guadalupe Mountains). I love these trips. The only thing is the prices are getting quite expensive, and I don't know how many more I will be able to do.

I haven't done any oversees trips with them, and right now, pushing age 70, they aren't that big a priority.
