BLT Accommodation

We use a combination of hostels, hotels and cabins on the Western BLT. Most cabins are multi-share rooms sleeping 4 to 6 people with shared facilities and hostel nights are generally arranged on a single sex, multi-share basis, subject to availability. Where possible we will keep the group together and try to accommodate couples; however twin rooms cannot be guaranteed. A sleeping bag is not required on this trip.

Private Departures

Why not arrange your own TrekAmerica departure? For groups of 8 or more, we can offer private departures on any of our published itineraries enabling friends, families or organizations to enjoy our classic "Trek" style of travel at special rates. Although tours will run as per our standard itinerary shown here, slight modifications may be considered and dates can be chosen to suit your needs. (Subject to seasonal/operational restrictions).

Local Payments - Food Kitty: All meals paid individually in local restaurants

  • Day: 1-2 Los Angeles & Lake Havasu

    The City of Angels greets you in the only way it knows how - sprawling, celebrity-driven and simply electric. We tour Hollywood and the Walk of Fame before heading out east to idyllic Lake Havasu on day one. This is A-grade Arizona: Mojave Desert, Colorado River and the original London Bridge. We kid you not!
    Accommodation: Budget lodging included

  • Day: 3 Grand Canyon National Park

    Take to the wing and witness the Grand Canyon's monumental red-and-gold formations from up high. Hike deep into the canyon on the Bright Angel Trail, or settle for being a mere a mile up from the Colorado River bed: the hiking paths along its vast rim are unforgettable, particularly at sunrise & sunset.
    Accommodation: Budget lodging included

  • Day: 4-5 Las Vegas

    After a beautiful sunrise and well-spent morning at the Grand Canyon, head to Las Vegas - the greatest show on Earth! Time to put those lucky numbers to the test. Not to mention your energy levels in this 24/7 party town. A-list stars swarm here, although breaking the bank may be easier than blagging your way into their swanky celebrity hangouts. If that fails you can still cruise the The Strip in a superstretch limousine.or ease the pain in one of the famous all-you-can-eat buffet.
    Accommodation: Budget lodging included

  • Day: 6 Yosemite National Park

    Next, we'll take you smack bang into Yosemite National Park. Who says granite isn't as pretty as gold? It makes for memorable eye candy round here, from the chiselled landmarks of El Capitan and Half Dome to the highest waterfalls in North America. Throw in the colours of sunset, a chilled drink or two and you've got one sure-fire unforgettable final night ahead.
    Accommodation: Budget lodging included

  • Day: 7 San Francisco

    We hit the old prospector's trails west to everyone's favourite city, San Francisco. We just have time for a city tour including the famous Golden Gate Bridge before the end of our fun- filled week together.

    Tour ends at approx 1700 hrs in San Francisco on day 7.
