Day: 1-3 San Francisco & Yosemite National Park
After a morning visit to the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge and a brief tour of San Francisco, we head east through California's historic gold country on day one. The scenic Yosemite National Park region is 'home' for the next three nights. After a visit to the Giant Sequoias, Yosemite Valley beckons. You may bicycle, take a dip in the Merced River or wander the meadows. Everyone will enjoy hiking one of the many trails that allow you to leave the crowds behind. The famous sites situated along these trails include Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls, Mirror Lake and Half Dome. The views are breathtaking from every wantage point - the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks will be etched forever in your mind.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Day: 4-6 Great Basin Desert & Zion National Park
From Yosemite's towering sequoias we continue through the Sierra Nevada to our campground located in the high desert. Next, Zion National Park, and from our campground, use a full day in the park to hike to Emerald Pools, ford the Narrows, climb to Angel's Landing or mountain bike to the remains of a nearby ghost town.

Day: 7-8 Bryce Canyon & Lake Powell
Bryce Canyon National Park follows with its unique turrets and spires, and a chance to explore the area with a hike on the Queen's Garden, Navajo Loop or Peekaboo Loop trails, and then a short drive to a lovely campsite at Kodachrome Basin State Park. From here we continue to Lake Powell. Water ski, jet ski, take a boat trip to secluded side canyons, or merely soak up the sun.

Day: 9 Monument Valley
The next camp is on the Navajo Tribal Lands of Monument Valley, a photographer's paradise. We will discover some of the area's hidden secrets on our included jeep tour with the Navajos. There is also ample time to relax, shop for native wares and view the valley's surreal sunsets.

Day: 10-11 Grand Canyon National Park
The awesome Grand Canyon is a stop to remember that offers many different opportunities. Take a scenic flight or a ranger guided nature walk along the rim, experience the wonder of I-MAX or, for the really active, a hike into the canyon leads to a better appreciation of its scale and grandeur.

Day: 12-13 Las Vegas & Los Angeles
Leaving nature behind, head into Las Vegas with all its glitz and glamour.
