USA - Western Wonder (7 days)

This quick taste of the Western USA highlights the area's two most important National Parks, the wonders of incomparable Las Vegas, and the desert splendour of the Colorado River region, all sandwiched between America's loveliest city, San Francisco, and its most unique, Los Angeles.

Routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local conditions and passenger requests vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the guidance of your Trek Leader you may modify certain night stops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

  • Days 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 to the deserts of Arizona. 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. Visit the viewpoints, hike the trails, or take a scenic flight for a bird's-eye view - no matter what, you will not believe your eyes. Accommodation: Camping included

  • Days 3-4 Las Vegas

Next, Las Vegas - the greatest show on earth! Cruise "The Strip" in style with the included limousine tour, then indulge in an all-you-can eat buffet, take in a show or just watch the amazing crowds, neon and attractions that many hotel casinos have to offer. 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

  • Days 5-7: Yosemite & San Francisco

Heading through Central California we take a scenic drive into the Yosemite National Park region and a chance to hike, bike, or float through the extraordinary landscape of glacier-carved granite monoliths, spectacular waterfalls and groves of giant Sequoia trees - the largest living things on earth! If you want a real challenge, try the 17 mile round trip hike to the top of Half Dome! 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. Accommodation: Camping included
