WESTERN SUN

FLEXIBLE ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local conditions and passenger requests vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the guidance of your Trek Leader you may modify certain nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

• Days: 1 Los Angeles & Santa Barbara

What better start than a tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills en route to Santa Barbara, "a gem of a coastal city" with a decidedly Spanish flair.
Accommodation: Camping included

• Days: 2-3 San Francisco

Next, "Everybody's Favourite City", San Francisco, with its endless options: walk or mountain bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, ride the cable cars up and down the fabled, steep streets, view the Bay and Alcatraz from the ferry boat ride or Fishermans Wharf, shop in Chinatown and Union Square, and experience the varied nightlife in North Beach or Haight-Ashbury!
Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally

• Days: 4-6 Yosemite National Park & San Joaquin Valley

Leaving San Francisco, we travel east through "Gold Country" into the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the forested granite peaks of Yosemite National Park. This park offers pristine wilderness, spectacular scenery and fantastic hiking opportunities.
Accommodation: 3 nights hotel included (Paid locally for winter 09/10 departures)

• Days: 7-8 Death Valley National Park

Next, the perfect winter destination: Death Valley National Park. In summer, the hottest place on earth, but now a winter playground offering incredible sunsets, hiking, brilliant night skies and sightseeing opportunities from Dante's View, Zabriskie Point, Golden Canyon and the Great Sand Dunes.
Accommodation: Camping included

• Days: 9-11 Las Vegas & Zion National Park

Back to the modern world with a bang - Las Vegas - the greatest show on earth! Cruise "The Strip" in a super-stretch limo, indulge in an all-you-can eat buffet, take in a show or just watch the amazing crowds, neon signs and attractions that many hotel casinos have to offer. And if that's not enough, take a helicopter flight down The Strip or just gamble the night away in one of the world class casinos. The Southwest's most famous National Parks are next starting with Zion National Park. Zion mixes peaceful beauty with powerful landscapes. The tree-lined Virgin River supports fragile flora and fauna as it meanders below massive, cathedral-like, sandstone walls soaring several thousand feet into the sky. Hike to Emerald Pools or down the Bright Angel Trail.
Accommodation: 3 nights hotel included (Paid locally for winter 09/10 departures)

• Days: 12 Monument Valley

Experience Native American life first-hand, staying in an authentic Navajo hogan surrounded by the spectacular beauty of their land, the Monument Valley region. Take a jeep tour with the Navajo guides into remote areas made famous by scores of celebrated western movies.
Accommodation: Camping included

• Days: 13-14 Grand Canyon National Park

Just when the scenery seems unbeatable, journey to the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Walk along the rim, hike down a canyon trail, or take a scenic flight; whatever the choice, it will forever create a vivid and indelible memory of this special place.
Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally

• Days: 15-17 Sonoran Desert, Tucson & Joshua Tree National Park

South to the Sonoran Desert, stark, but strikingly scenic. You have the option to camp with local cowboys-no luxury, but an adventure you can't arrange on your own! Next, on to Tucson, home of the giant Saguaro cactus groves, and the living Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Back into California and Joshua Tree NP, with "out of this world" rock formations amidst incredible desert vistas.
Accommodation: Camping included

• Days: 18-20 San Diego & Los Angeles

San Diego not only has the best climate in America but also beautiful beaches, SeaWorld Adventure Park and a fascinating zoo. Back to LA and our included Disneyland visit complete an incredible winter adventure.
Accommodation: Camping included

Tour ends at 18:00 hrs in Los Angeles on day 20.
