About Trek TrekAmerica Reviews

This was my third Trek trip and by far the best one yet. From meeting an incredible bunch of people from all 4 corners of the world to witnessing some of the world's most incredible scenery in the national parks the Mountain Trail is the perfect American experience - desert, geysers, wildlife, waterfalls, campfires, amazing weather and ending in the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas and LA.
If you love the outdoors this is the trip for you. I'll never forget the incredible memories and great new friends I made from this trip

This was the perfect trip for me, an incredible combination of beautiful scenery, new experiences and amazing wildlife. The Great Outdoors!

I was amazed by the diversity of the different places we went and each place from Seattle's busy and vibrant fish market to the steaming boiling mudpools of Yellowstone, and the insane neon playground of Las Vegas, literally took my breath away.

In just two weeks we travelled through mountains and pine forests, past pristine lakes, snow-capped mountains, woodlands, steaming mud pools, exploding geysers and raging rivers, on to hot baking red rocks, canyons, seeing fossilised remains, dinosaur footprints, petroglyphs, petrified woods and flat, open plains, past natural monuments and arches and into the arid desert of joshua trees and cacti. This is a trek of extremes and you'll love every minute.

So many highlights but the most important thing to mention was the group and group leader which made the whole trek the special experience it was. To share the new experiences and sights with such a brilliant group was incredible, I will treasure it.

I also loved the camping experience (having only ever camped for 3 nights max previously). Got into a routine and really enjoyed it, in fact was sorry to pack the tent up for the last time! Absolutely fantastic to see every hour of daylight from sunrise to sunset and beyond.

The tour guide (Crystal Jones) was amazing so organised, professional and funny. We always had something to do and were taken to amazing American site after amazing American site. We were immersed in American culture (something I previously was critical of). Yellowstone was everything we all expected, Wyoming was traditional and yet so modernised the rodeo should not be missed by anyone... Utah was my personal favourite and a place I never thought I'd connect with but I would move back there tomorrow. The Navajo reserve was an epic success as it meant so much to our guide (William) and therefore to every member of our group. I don't think I'll ever experience a day and night like that again. Zion National park is the most beautiful place in the world and Angels Landing is a hike that will always be very fondly remembered. Vegas well... it's Vegas I didn't think I'd be too bothered by it but it was an outstanding city. Then to finish in Hollywood. The van was fine even at my 6ft 2" frame and despite us having poor weather (by American standards) I have returned very tanned and relaxed. I cannot stop recommending this to everyone.

This was the best trip of my life, so much to see and experience. Our tour guide Ben was the best tour guide ever, always so well organised, friendly and funny, and our group was awesome, too.
