Take a 13-day road trip from the glitzy hub of Las Vegas to the trendy San Francisco, stopping at national parks, deep canyons, fascinating landscapes and small towns along the way. Start with Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon hikes, walk through a hidden slot canyon, discover the iconic Monument Valley with a Navajo guide then hit the famed Grand Canyon for an epic sunset and a walk along the rim. Enjoy a full free day in Sin City, then visit the towering sequoias – some of the oldest trees on Earth! Stop into the incredibly diverse lands of Yosemite National Park, where you’ll stargaze with a local naturalist and walk the best trails with an expert trip leader – then mark the end of your trip with a walk across Golden Gate Bridge.
Las Vegas
Welcome to Las Vegas! The real wild west is home to some of the USA’s most incredible scenery. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight to meet your leader and fellow travellers. If you arrive early, there’s plenty to do – maybe wander along the famous strip, be entertained by impromptu street performers, or catch a live show. After your meeting, maybe head out to dinner with the group to get to know your new travel mates.
