Choose your own pace and enjoy the quiet perspective of the trail whilst experiencing the spectacular wonders of nature in the great American Southwest!

Leaving Las Vegas, we begin this trip with a short drive through the Mojave Desert into Utah, where we get as close to the soul of Zion National Park as the soles of your shoes will allow. Choose from an assortment of short and beautiful trails to warm up your legs (Emerald Pools / Gateway to the Narrows) or indulge in a longer hike to Angel's Landing, which rewards you with an overwhelmingly amazing vista. If weather conditions permit, you may choose to hike deep into the Zion Narrows itself.

In Bryce Canyon National Park, walk the Queen's Garden/Navajo Loop trail, where the countless spires, pinnacles and hoodoos of this spectacular canyon make an indelible impression on the mind. Arches National Park offers leisurely hikes through spectacular sandstone landscapes with colourful names like the Fiery Furnace and Devil’s Garden.

In summer, some may choose to spend the afternoon "off the trail" floating on the nearby Colorado River, while winter visitors may want to experience the charms of Moab - the small eclectic town that serves as the gateway to both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The next day is devoted to visiting Canyonlands National Park. Our afternoon hike ends with a visit to Dead Horse Point for tremendous canyon views and another picture perfect sunset.

Then, on to the Navajo Nation's greatest treasure, Monument Valley. After preparing camp, set out on a spectacular, backcountry, 4-wheel drive and hiking tour deep into the heart of the Valley. Stop and photograph both the famous and lesser known sights in the Park, before coming to the end of the 'road' Our local Navajo guide will then lead us even deeper into the park to trail’s end, visiting sights where non-Native Americans rarely go - finishing our day with yet another forgettable sunset.

On to Grand Canyon National Park, one of those rare places that no one yet has adequately described, painted or photographed. Watch the sunset on the first night and attempt to comprehend this canyon's staggering dimensions and power.

Then hike the many trails, catch a bird's-eye view from the awesome perspective of a helicopter, take a park ranger's guided nature walk, or sit in quiet contemplation on the edge of this natural wonder. This incredible experience comes to an end when we untie our shoelaces after returning to Las Vegas in the evening.
