Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Los Angeles/Joshua Tree National Park

    Depart Los Angeles for the desert today as you journey eastward to explore Joshua Tree National Park. Climb through the park’s famous rock formations and make sure to get some photos of the park's namesake tree as the sun lights up this desolate landscape. In the evening relax at our accommodation by taking a dip in the pool and then opt to grab some dinner with your fellow travellers.

  • Day 2

    Joshua Tree National Park/Grand Canyon National Park

    Drive down the famed Route 66 today as we cruise further east to the Grand Canyon. Get ready to see breathtaking views with arguably the best sunset you have ever seen overlooking the Grand Canyon. Kick off those shoes, sit back, relax, and enjoy one of nature’s finest performances. Enjoy a cheesy slice of pizza or two overlooking the Grand Canyon during sunset.

  • Day 3

    Grand Canyon

    Get up close and personal with the Grand Canyon as you spend the day hiking from the South Rim. There are a variety of hikes to choose from that will take you deeper into the canyon where you can really appreciate the size and depth of this national park. Choose whichever trail you wish or do short bursts of multiple hikes, just make sure you bring plenty of water and take your time.

  • Day 4

    Grand Canyon/Page/Bryce Canyon

    Journey onwards from the Grand Canyon to Page, Arizona, the site of Lake Powell. There will be free time here. Opt to join a local Navajo guide and explore Antelope Canyon; a stunning natural sandstone slot canyon located on tribal lands.

    Then, lace up those hiking boots for a visit to Horseshoe Bend, a geological masterpiece that has been sculpted by the Colorado River. Walk to the overlook where you can hike along the rim and stare down into the flowing river far below. Snap some photos with your friends and just enjoy the moment. Finish the day with a picturesque drive to your camp in Bryce Canyon.

  • Day 5

    Bryce Canyon

    After a camp breakfast head out for a short drive into Bryce Canyon National Park. Once in the park, take advantage of your free time to hike through the wild and weird rock formations known as hoodoos. Opt to visit Inspiration Point, hit the rim trail, horseback ride, or hike the Queen’s Garden and Navajo loop trails to see sites like Thor’s Hammer and Wall Street. At night stargaze in a park known for its night skies.

  • Day 6

    Bryce Canyon/Zion National Park

    We pack up early this morning and move on towards Zion National Park. On route, we will make a stop at the lesser-known Coral Pink Sand Dunes and enjoy a scenic overlook of Utah’s surrounding landscape on the Colorado Plateau. It’s a unique geological feature that you shouldn’t miss.

    You’ll have free time in the afternoon and evening to become acquainted with your surroundings. The only rule is to have a good time!

  • Day 7

    Zion National Park

    It’s all about Zion today as you get a chance to wander this beautiful national park in Southwest Utah. Take the shuttle into the park and spend the day exploring and hiking with your fellow travelers.

    Admire the monumental sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that tower into the sky and remember you can choose to turn around on these hikes at any point. In the evening enjoy leisure time back at camp. Once it gets dark get ready to sit around the campfire and roast some marshmallows as a group.

  • Day 8

    Zion National Park/Las Vegas

    Today, take the short drive from Zion to Las Vegas. Upon arrival, enjoy free time in Las Vegas. Explore the strip, try your luck at a casino, or take in a glitzy show.

  • Day 9

    Death Valley National Park

    Drive from Las Vegas to Death Valley and visit the country's hottest, driest, and lowest national park. Death Valley is a land of extremes and you’ll get a sense of the striking contrast of this park’s landscapes with visits to Badwater Basin and Zabriskie Point. Then, transfer to the hotel in Ridgecrest and relax this evening.

  • Day 10

    Ridgecrest/Los Angeles

    Wake in Ridgecrest and drive southwest to Los Angeles. Tour ends on arrival to L.A.

  • I didn?t know that I would be dropping into an existing group. I would have preferred to start out all at the same time as it is difficult to enter existing relations like that and I might would?ve gone for another/ the full tour if I knew of its existence. Also, not having any contact info on the CEO beforehand made everything regarding the meetup stressful. Especially because nobody at the meeting hotel knew about gadventures since it was apparently booked under the name windigo - a company I had never heard of. The whole onboarding process was a little difficult for me to be honest. Despite all that, I enjoyed the national parks and all the hiking!
