Flower Spotting from Holland to Havasupai

 Austin-Lehman Adventures‚ GPS Targets Flower Spotting from Holland to Havasupai This Spring

Billings, MT, Jan. 13, 2011 ˆ Following your bliss just became simple thanks to an award-winning adventure tour company‚s GPS targeting where in the world to stop and smell the flowers this spring.

From bike tours in Holland to hiking in Havasupai (Grand Canyon), multiple opportunities for active pleasures abound as surely as the blossoms, says Dan Austin, owner of Austin-Lehman Adventures http://www.austinlehman.com/, the active travel company setting adventure tour standards in the Americas, Europe, Africa and beyond.

Says Austin-Lehman cycling guide, Sajid Litjens, „The best trips for spring flowers in all of Europe are our cycle tours in Holland.  Everywhere are the most amazing colors.  You have to visit "de Keukenhof" http://www.keukenhof.nl/, a tulip fair with all kinds of bulb flowers, but the ultimate highlight is just cycling through the tulip fields. The landscape almost looks like an abstract painting.‰

Carol Austin of the Austin-Lehman family notes that „Havasupai in the Grand Canyon is a must for spring flower seekers. From late March to early May all of the desert flowers are in bloom, and up against the backdrop of red rocks and blue skies the colors are amazing!‰

Guide Doreen Rae loves „going up to the Skagit Valley (Washington) in April and wandering their fields of tulips. I then hop on the ferry to the San Juan Islands to enjoy some hiking and mountain biking, the lavender fields and wineries.‰
