Trip Itinerary
You can join the trip departing Los Angels or San Francisco
Day 1-2: Los Angeles, Colorado River & Grand Canyon
After a short tour of Hollywood we bid the City of Angels farewell and head through California on day one to the vast swathes of Arizona’s cactus-prickled desert. After spending an evening along the Colorado River we explore America’s premier National Park, and find out why it is called the Grand Canyon. Keep your feet firmly on the ground or swoop above it all on an optional helicopter flight. One thing’s for sure though, this place looks incredible from any angle, especially walking along the rim at sunset.
Accommodation: Camping included
Day 3-4: Las Vegas
Next, Las Vegas – the greatest show on earth! The Strip, the shows, the casinos, the clubs; Sin City’s glitziest and brashest spots are sure to impress as you cruise the Las Vegas Boulevard on an included limo ride! Hop onto one of the world’s highest thrill rides at Vegas’ Stratosphere and it won’t just be your head that’s spinning. And if that’s not enough, take a helicopter flight down The Strip or just gamble the night away in one of the world class casinos.
Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally
Day 5-6: Yosemite National Park
Heading through Central California we take a scenic drive into the Yosemite National Park region and a chance to hike or bike through the extraordinary landscape of glacier-carved granite monoliths and spectacular waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled for black bears. Coyote roam freely as well and when the sun goes down, their howling often echoes amidst pines and sequoias. Admit it, this is what clicks the spirit of the great outdoors up a notch or two.
Accommodation: Camping included
Day 7: San Francisco
On our last day together we head back west through California’s gold country, where in 1848 the finding of a single nugget triggered a stampede of gold-seekers known as the 49′ers, before arriving at the home of the beatnik generation, San Francisco.
This tour ends at our gateway hotel at approximately 17:00 hrs. We can book you post-tour accommodation at our gateway hotel if required. If you are planning to fly tonight, please do not book a flight that departs before 21:00 hrs.
This tour also departs from San Francisco
Accommodation
All accommodation apart from two night’s in Vegas are included in the trip. Along the way we are camping, with all equipment included in comfortable modern tents.
In Vegas you stay in a downtown hotel, where there is a local payment. Waking up with views of national parks take some beating, and certainly beats a motel.
