Days: 2-4 Yosemite National Park

After a brief tour of San Francisco, head east through California's historic gold country. Yosemite National Park region is our base for the next three nights and offers abundant activities for parents and kids alike.

Days: 5-7 Great Basin & Zion National Park

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 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.
Meals: Included | Accommodation: Camping included

Days: 8 & 9 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.

Accommodation: Camping included

Days: 10 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.

Days: 11-13 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.
