Trekking America Tours Getaways

The United States offers an incredible variety of trekking experiences, from high mountain wilderness and glacier-carved valleys to desert canyons and ancient forests. Our collection of USA trekking holidays covers many of the country's most spectacular hiking destinations, giving you the opportunity to explore some of North America's most famous landscapes with experienced guides and like-minded travellers.

Yosemite National Park is consistently ranked among the world's greatest trekking destinations. Trails here lead to dramatic viewpoints overlooking Half Dome, El Capitan and Yosemite Valley, while routes through the high country reveal alpine lakes, waterfalls and giant sequoia groves. Our Yosemite trekking adventures are ideal for travellers seeking classic American mountain scenery.

Utah's Mighty Five National Parks provide a completely different trekking experience. In Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef, you'll walk among sandstone cliffs, natural arches, slot canyons and some of the most photogenic desert landscapes in the world. These tours are perfect for hikers who enjoy varied terrain and unforgettable geological formations.

Yellowstone National Park combines rewarding hiking with exceptional wildlife viewing. Trails pass geothermal features, pristine lakes and vast wilderness areas where bison, elk, wolves and bears can often be spotted. It's one of the best destinations in North America for travellers who want to combine trekking with nature and wildlife experiences.

For those looking for bigger wilderness adventures, Alaska offers some of the most remote and awe-inspiring trekking opportunities in the USA. Expect dramatic mountain scenery, glaciers, abundant wildlife and a true sense of exploration in one of the last great wilderness regions on Earth.

The Grand Canyon and the wider American Southwest also feature heavily in our trekking collection. Hiking into the canyon itself, walking along dramatic rim trails and exploring the deserts and mesas of Arizona and neighbouring states delivers some of the most memorable trekking experiences in the country.

Finally, California's Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks offer spectacular trails through ancient forests filled with some of the largest trees on Earth. Combined with Yosemite, they create one of the finest multi-park trekking experiences available anywhere in North America.

All of our US treks are small groups and guided. Groups are usually made up of around 10 people with typically equal mix of gender.

Usually around half of any group are solo travellers and the other half couples or friends.

Ages range from early twenties to over seventy but the average age is typically 39-ish.

The type of people who enjoy these trips really varies, we find the most important factor is the desire to be in the wild, away from city life and general life drama.

If you're interested in any departure date we can find out the make up of the group for you, just make contact with us by phone, chat or email. 

Each trek has a physical rating form 1 to 5. 1 is low meaning you don't really need to be fit at all where as 5 is challenging and we're recommend some training and an average fitness level.

Most of the US treks fall between 2 to 4, so quite easy to quite tough. In all cases we think it is a good idea to do even a little bit of training such as long walks with aback pack and if you're getting new walking shoes, get them early and break them in!

Don't worry, at least half of our customers overall are also solo travellers and our tours and holidays are designed with solo travellers in mind. We know it can be daunting if you're a solo traveller or of course it's your first time travelling alone. All of our team have travelled alone and we're very happy to talk you through it.

Usually about half of any group is made up of solo travellers. We pair solo travellers together of the same gender and age (where we can) to share a room which keeps costs down.

You can of course opt for your won room on most treks and adventures usually for a little extra.

Each trek is guided and the guide is there to make sure everyone is happy and safe. If you have a problem maybe with gear, your room mate, food etc the guide will be able to help and can usually fix any problems that arise!
