Kumuka
From the Californian coast on the Pacific to the deserts of Nevada, this 8 day camping tour takes in a multitude of sights and climates. Starting in the beautiful city of San Francisco and home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, we wander through some of the tallest trees in the world at nearby Muir Woods, before heading into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Then we explore Yosemite National Park, one of the best parks in North America, a haven for trekking and the great outdoors. Next, we briefly stop in Los Angeles on our way to Joshua Tree National Park, a surreal landscape of twisted rock formations and the legendary, bizarrely shaped Joshua Cacti. However, nothing can prepare anyone for the almighty, jaw-dropping Grand Canyon where words and photos simply fail to describe the act of actually being there!! Last stop is Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. You may want to consider staying a couple of extra days to soak up the atmosphere.
Itinerary:
Departing from San Francisco, we start this journey by traveling over the one and only Golden Gate Bridge. A marvel of engineering, 40 million people cross over America's favorite bridge every year. Muir Woods is off in the distance and contains some of the biggest and most beautiful trees found anywhere, with some being more than 800 yrs old and more than 250 ft (76 m) tall. After the jaunt in Muir Woods, its off to the famous California mountain range - the Sierra Nevadas. Knee deep in the High Sierras, beautiful scenery is everywhere - even below the ground. Burrow down below for a caving expedition to explore mysterious caverns by foot, hands and knees. Twist, grind, and crawl on your belly like a reptile through magnificent caves. If you are more of an above-ground person, other options include a zip line or strolling through a quaint wine country town.
Yosemite is, without a doubt, one of the top parks in the US national park system. So much to see, so much to do! Highlights include: the ancient giant sequoia trees (the largest living things on earth), the lush Yosemite Valley, the mountain vistas, breathtaking waterfalls, picture-perfect meadows, El Capitan, Half Dome, and hundreds of miles of top-notch trails. Immerse yourself in the surroundings of this awe-inspiring granite playground.
Today is the transition between Northern and Southern California. Sit back and relax from all the hiking of previous days, and enjoy the ride through farmland, valleys, and mountains.
Making our way towards Joshua Tree and the Grand Canyon takes us through LA where it's easy to catch a view of the infamous Hollywood sign. Following the city of Angels is the magnificent scrambling playground of Joshua Tree National Park. Explore the interesting rock formations by climbing up, down, and around them. Joshua Tree is like nothing you've ever seen - large boulders laying all over the place and on top of each other, crazy-shaped Joshua tree cacti, and a truly surreal landscape.
It's so overwhelming in size and scale that one can't help but to stare into it dumbfounded. An icon of the American southwest, the Grand Canyon measures at times up to 18 miles (29 km) across and up to a mile deep (1.6 km). Enjoy a hike along the rim and marvel at the magnitude of the 8th wonder of the world. If you desire a bird's eye view, take the optional Grand Canyon airplane tour - you won't regret it!
From one extreme to another, get ready for the bright lights of Sin City. There is something for everyone in Las Vegas. Where else can you ride a roller coaster in New York, walk in the pyramids of Egypt, and ride a Venetian gondola, all within a few blocks of each other? This tour ends on arrival in Las Vegas at approximately 3.00pm to 4.00pm where the tour ends. The first drop-off point is the airport, followed by a drop off at the hotel where the tour started. If you are flying out that night then we highly recommend that your flights departs no earlier than 6.00pm (we cannot be held responsible if we arrive into Las Vegas later than planned due to unforeseen circumstances).
