TRIP ITINERARY

Days: 1-3 San Francisco & Yosemite National Park

After a morning visit to the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge and a brief tour of San Francisco, we head east through California's historic gold country on day one. The scenic Yosemite National Park region is 'home' for the next three nights. After a visit to the Giant Sequoias, Yosemite Valley beckons. You may bicycle, take a dip in the Merced River or wander the meadows. Everyone will enjoy hiking one of the many trails that allow you to leave the crowds behind. The famous sites situated along these trails include Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls, Mirror Lake and Half Dome. The views are breathtaking from every wantage point - the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks will be etched forever in your mind.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Days: 4-6 Great Basin Desert & Zion National Park

From Yosemite's towering sequoias we continue through the Sierra Nevada to our campground located in the high desert. Next, Zion National Park, and from our campground, use a full day in the park to hike to Emerald Pools, ford the Narrows, climb to Angel's Landing or mountain bike to the remains of a nearby ghost town.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Days: 7-8 Bryce Canyon & Lake Powell

Bryce Canyon National Park follows with its unique turrets and spires, and a chance to explore the area with a hike on the Queen's Garden, Navajo Loop or Peekaboo Loop trails, and then a short drive to a lovely campsite at Kodachrome Basin State Park. From here we continue to Lake Powell. Water ski, jet ski, take a boat trip to secluded side canyons, or merely soak up the sun.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Days: 9 Monument Valley

The next camp is on the Navajo Tribal Lands of Monument Valley, a photographer's paradise. We will discover some of the area's hidden secrets on our included jeep tour with the Navajos. There is also ample time to relax, shop for native wares and view the valley's surreal sunsets.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Days: 10-11 Grand Canyon National Park

The awesome Grand Canyon is a stop to remember that offers many different opportunities. Take a scenic flight or a ranger guided nature walk along the rim, experience the wonder of I-MAX or, for the really active, a hike into the canyon leads to a better appreciation of its scale and grandeur.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Days: 12-13 Las Vegas & Los Angeles

Leaving nature behind, head into Las Vegas with all its glitz and glamour. Here you'll have time for some last minute bargain shopping or to relax by the pool before a big night of bright lights, casinos and world class shows. On our final day we drive across the great Mojave Desert and arrive at our L.A. hotel where we say our fond farewells.
Accommodation: Las Vegas hotel included. Meals paid locally

Tour ends at approx 17:00 hrs in Los Angeles on day 13.
