Leaving San Francisco we head east through California’s gold country, where in 1848, a single gold nugget was found which triggered a stampede of gold-seekers known as the 49’ers.
We then drive to Yosemite National Park for a chance to hike, bike, or float through the extraordinary landscape of glacier-carved granite monoliths and groves of giant Sequoia trees - the largest living things on earth!
Next, Las Vegas! Cruise “The Strip” in style on our included limo tour, then indulge in an all-you-can-eat buffet, take in a show or just watch the amazing crowds, neon lights and attractions. You can always opt to take a helicopter flight down The Strip or just gamble the night away in the casinos.
Leaving Las Vegas, we venture into America's premier national park, the Grand Canyon. Visit the viewpoints, hike the trails, or take a scenic flight for a bird’s-eye view.
Then, drop down into the desert for a lovely last evening along the Colorado River, before heading to the City of Angels for a tour of Hollywood and our final destination.
You can also do some optional extra activities:
- Las Vegas clubs and casinos
- Grand Canyon scenic flight
- Cycling in Yosemite Valley
- I-MAX Theatre
- Excellent National Park hikes
