You have a bit of everything in the USA - including the most famous and cosmopolitan cities New York, Los Angeles and breathtaking National Parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone.
- Location: Los Angeles, Colorado River and Grand Canyon
This tour operates in both directions, from Los Angeles to San Francisco and San Francisco to Los Angeles.
After a short tour of Hollywood we bid the City of Angels farewell and head through California on day one to the vast swathes of Arizona's cactus-prickled desert. After spending an evening along the Colorado River we explore America's premier National Park, and find out why it is called the Grand Canyon. Keep your feet firmly on the ground or swoop above it all on an optional flight. One thing's for sure though, this place looks incredible from any angle, especially walking along the rim at sunset.

- Location: Yosemite National Park
Heading through Central California we take a scenic drive into the Yosemite National Park region and a chance to hike or bike through the extraordinary landscape of glacier-carved granite monoliths and spectacular waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled for black bears. Coyote roam freely as well and when the sun goes down, their howling often echoes amidst pines and sequoias. Probably one of north America's most stunning national parks. Admit it; this is what clicks the spirit of the great outdoors up a notch or two!

Trip of a lifetime......so far!
Helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon Party bus in Las Vegas Meeting other likeminded travellers who I believe will become good friends
Don't worry about going alone, most people are - just book it! Make sure you take plenty of warm clothes for camping - National parks are high up and get cold overnight The more effort/ energy you put into a trip and getting to know fellow travellers the more you will get back
