Open Roads is located in the heart of California and has far-reaching expertise and long standing relationships with destinations and tour operators throughout Western Canada and the United States. Surrounded by natural beauty and unique history, the west coasts of Canada and the United States offer amazing sights, experiences and opportunities for experiential travel. The Pacific Ocean, the Canadian Rockies, and the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges provide homes to several national, state and provincial parks. Historic status has saved and preserved countless landmarks and sites of historic importance. The music and film industries have also created unique opportunities for travelers to the West Coast. The amazing agricultural bounty of our region provides countless farm-to-fork experiences and tastings of locally produced wine, beer and spirits. We are proud of our region and wish show you its many hidden gems.
