An active journey from San Francisco to Las Vegas through the West's stunning national parks - including Yosemite, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon

America's West is justifiably famous for its diversity of landscapes and beauty. Each park is different and special in its own right, and these combine well with the cities of San Francisco and Las Vegas to create an unforgettable journey. We take a walk amongst the giant sequoia, cliffs and waterfalls of Yosemite. Zion amazes with its sheer red rock walls, while Bryce enchants with delicate multi-coloured stone towers. Two days hiking at the incredible Grand Canyon round off a superb trip.
