Our thirteen day tour gives time to experience the
delights of
the National Park system with a multitude of adventurous
activities, from hiking to horseback riding
After a morning visit
to the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge and a brief
tour of San Francisco, head east through California's
historic gold country. The scenic Yosemite National
Park region is 'home' for the next three nights.
In Yosemite Valley 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 vantage
point - the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan
and Cathedral Rocks will be etched forever in your
mind. Turning south, visit Mariposa Grove with its
towering sequoias before proceeding through the Sierra
Nevadas 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. 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.
Take the
backroads to Lake Powell, via the Hog's Back Trail,
and pass through Capitol Reef National Park before
arriving at a lakeside campground via ferry. Water
ski, jet ski, take a boat trip to secluded side canyons,
or merely soak up the sun.
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 amazing sunsets.
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.
Leaving nature behind, head into
Las Vegas with all its glitz and glamour. Here you´ll
have time for some last minute bargain shopping or
to relax by the pool before a big night of bright
lights, casinos and world class shows. The tour finishes
with a drive across another region of the great Mojave
Desert and arrives at our L.A. hotel where we say
our fond farewells.
