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!

  • Day: 1 Los Angeles & Las Vegas

We head out of the City of Angels across the Mojave Desert to the greatest show on earth! With a sudden burst of neon, Vegas is right in your face.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 signs 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: 1 en-route hotel nights paid locally


  • Day: 2 Zion National Park

Onwards to Zion National Park to swim and to explore the hidden canyons or maybe hike to Angels Landing. Okay, so getting up there can be devilish at times, but the famous trail puts Zion on a 360-degree display of this magnificent national park.
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 3-4 Grand Canyon National Park

Next stop is Grand Canyon National Park, with a full day to experience the grandeur of Earth's natural wonder. Hiking this jaw-dropping terrain of striped limestone and sandstone, you might spot red-tailed hawk or majestic golden eagles. Whether you are up with the sun to start your long hike down Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point, take a leisurely walk around the rim or choose the "bird's eye" view on a scenic flight, you are sure to be left with feelings of awe and amazement.
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 5 Monument Valley

Take a breath as we head to the Navajo Tribal Lands of Monument Valley. The only things to pre-date the origins of Native American culture are the towering buttes and mesas which dominate the awe-inspiring landscape. Sacred to the Navajo people and beloved by movie directors, you'll be smitten too, especially with an optional Navajo Indian guided jeep tour into the Valley.
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 6-7 Arches National Park/Moab

Journey to America's Mecca for mountain biking enthusiasts - Moab, Utah. This is the perfect base for two days of exploration and adventure in the nearby Arches National Park. Endless opportunity awaits; take a sunset stroll to Delicate Arch, mountain bike down the famous `Slick Rock Trail´ or tackle the terrain high above on an extreme guided Hummer tour.
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 8 Flaming Gorge

Winding through the cliffs of Flaming Gorge, take it easy on the Green River. Settle in for some scenic vistas and redrocks that look out of this world!
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 9-10 Grand Teton National Park & Jackson

We visit the truly western town of Jackson, Wyoming. Rafting the raging Snake River rapids, one of America's last great untamed rivers, should get that adrenaline pumping. So might a shot of 'Red-Eye' Whiskey at the Silver Dollar Saloon. Next, wonderful views and hikes await in majestic Grand Teton National Park. With few foothills to speak of, the jagged peaks here rise like teeth from lush, flat meadows against bright blue sky.
Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 11-12 Yellowstone National Park

On to Yellowstone National Park for a glorious two night stay. View explosive geysers and colourful waterfalls while exploring the world's oldest and most famous national park.

Accommodation: Camping included


  • Day: 13-14 Montana & Seattle

Montana welcomes us with rugged mountain peaks and wide open spaces! Enjoy a night under a brilliant blanket of stars in the American Rockies, before we cross Idaho's Bitterroot Range to Seattle and the end of our adventure. How about a Starbucks?
