FLEXIBLE ITINERARY

Our 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 nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

Days: 1 Los Angeles & Pacific Coast

Begin this active adventure with a tour of Hollywood. Stroll along the Walk of Fame and follow the curves up Mulholland Drive for a view of the "Hollywood" sign. We follow US Highway 1 - the Pacific Coast Highway - north to Big Sur. Camp amongst the Redwoods and explore the rugged coastline with a sunset walk on the beach.
Accommodation: Camping included

Days: 2-3 San Francisco

We visit Carmel or Monterey on the way to America's most charming city and home of the 49ers, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown - San Francisco! Enjoy a full day to explore the city, with plenty of time for shopping, sightseeing and a stroll over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally

Days: 4-6 Yosemite National Park & Sierra Nevada

Then it is across the Bay Bridge and into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the valley of Yosemite National Park. Hike to one of the magnificent waterfalls, or hire a bicycle to pedal along the park roads. Float down the Merced River, or go horseback riding in the meadows.
Accommodation: Camping included

Days: 7-8 Las Vegas

Back to the modern world with a bang - Las Vegas - the greatest show on earth! Cruise "The Strip" in a super-stretch limo, 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: 9-10 Grand Canyon

Return to nature, across the Colorado River, to the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Nothing you have ever seen before will prepare you for this spectacular site!

Visit the current home of the Old London Bridge at Lake Havasu, Arizona, and then it is on to the Southern California city of San Diego.
