ITINERARY
Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local and operational conditions may vary and unforeseen circumstances can arise, the following itinerary should be used as a guideline.
-
Day: 1-3
San Francisco & Yosemite National Park
After a brief tour of San Francisco, head east through California's historic gold country on day one. Yosemite National Park region is our base for the next three nights and offers abundant activities for parents and kids alike. There's bicycling right in the valley and many hiking trails to escape the crowds, or you can float down the Merced river on an inner tube, overlooked by the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included.
-
Day: 4-6
Great Basin & Zion National Park
Turning west, we procede through the Sierra Nevadas to our campground located in the high desert. Next Zion National Park and a full day to hike to Emerald Pools, ford the Narrows, climb to Angel's Landing or mountain bike to the remains of a nearby ghost town where the kids can pretend to be the Sundance Kid.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included.
-
Day: 7 & 8
Bryce Canyon & Lake Powell
Bryce Canyon National Park follows with its maze of unique turrets and spires to be explored, and then a short drive to a lovely campsite at Kodachrome Basin State Park. Take the backroads to Lake Powell arriving at a lakeside campground for some aquatic family fun. Water ski, jet ski or take a boat trip to secluded canyons.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included.
-
Day: 9
Monument Valley
Then on to the Navajo Tribal Lands of Monument Valley, where we will discover some of the valley's hidden secrets and learn more about the culture and way of life of Native Americans on our included jeep tour with the Navajos.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included.
-
Day: 10-12
Grand Canyon National Park & Las Vegas
The awesome Grand Canyon is our next stop, where we will have two days to fully experience one of the Earth's greatest natural wonders. Take a scenic flight or a ranger-guided nature walk along the rim, be blown away by the audio-visual wizardry of IMAX or, for the really active, hike into the canyon itself. After visiting so many of nature's impressive creations, we finally head to a completely man-made one - Las Vegas - the glitziest city in the world, where our tour ends.
