Home to picture-postcard spires of crimson rock, Bryce Canyon is Utah’s prime address for epic sunrises and sunsets, boasting exhilarating trails and viewpoints.
A UNESCO heritage site and one of the most spectacular geological spectacles in the world, Grand Canyon is a gorge where nature is still working its magic.
A gorgeous alpine land bolstered by the majestic Teton Mountains in the backdrop, Grand Teton brims with valleys, lakes, meadows, and America’s best backcountry views.
An artificial reservoir encompassing a vast area in Utah and Arizona, Lake Powell draws visitors with its glowing landscape, fine lodges, and plenty of leisurely activities.
The faces of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln are carved into Mount Rushmore with great skill and effort.
Chicago’s most interesting stretch, Navy Pier lures visitors with its dynamic atmosphere and countless entertainment opportunities on the shore of Lake Michigan.
The Mother Road was one of the first original routes established in the United States, and today its legacy carries on as the route of adventure and trips in America.
The overlook is famed for its scenes and as the best spot to observe the sinuous figure of the Snake River reaching into the imposing Teton Mountains.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints anchors the Temple Square at the heart of Salt Lake City, where historic landmarks and social venues abound.
A vast geographical wonderland resting on top of a volcanic zone, Yellowstone is filled with geysers, hot springs, canyons and rivers that are restlessly in motion.
Welcome to Chicago! Meet your group and tour leader in the evening for an informal welcome at the hotel. Until then, feel free to roam the famous downtown of Chicago like a local or rest up for our great adventure ahead!
Start the day with a short tour of the city’s highlights including Lake Shore Drive, the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier. Enjoy your personal leisure time for the rest of the day to explore the ‘Windy City’ Chicago on your own terms. Freely marvel at the fascinatingly bold architecture of downtown Chicago or the inspiring artworks in one of the famous museums in town.
Travel through the Midwest along farms abundant in corn and wheat fields and dairy farms. Crossing the mighty Mississippi River, we ride into the state of Iowa to arrive just as Lewis & Clark Expedition did two centuries ago on the banks of the Missouri River. We make our way to Sioux Falls for a refreshing rest.
Travel westward through the vast and lush grasslands of South Dakota and onwards to Badlands National Park. This natural wonderland, once home to the buffalo and antelope, is filled with amazing colorful natural rock formations. Then we continue on to the Black Hills, sacred to the Native Indians and home to the famous Mount Rushmore. After we finish soaking in the unforgettable views, we depart for Rapid City to spend the night.
We continue our journey towards the wondrous lands of Wyoming, also known as “Equality State”, home to twelve mountain ranges intermixed with vast deserts and rolling grasslands. We will be resting for a big day tomorrow in Cody. In case overnight in Cody is not possible due to poor weather or adverse road conditions in Yellowstone, we will be spending the night in Billings Livingston, Montana.
Drive past the mountains of Wyoming to Yellowstone, America’s first National Park! Tag along your expert guide to enjoy an in-depth tour of this immense geothermal wonderland which includes waterfalls, geysers, canyons, colourful wildlife and more! Some of the incredible highlights will be Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful, Yellowstone Canyon’s majestic falls, and the beautiful Hayden Valley.
Today we travel through Grand Teton National Park, as long as the weather permits, to witness magnificent mountain peaks towering over 4,000 metres and the local wildlife. Visit the Snake River Outlook and try your eye at capturing the stunning landscape made famous by Ansel Adam’s iconic shot in black and white. Arriving in Utah, known for its Mormon Community, embark on a short tour of its capital, Salt Lake City. See how the Mormon followers of Brigham Young built one of the best-planned cities in the country. We visit the State Capital building, famed Temple Square and the Tabernacle before arriving at our hotel for the evening. May we suggest an optional dinner at the Rooftop Restaurant for panoramic views of Temple Square?
Embark for a journey to the spectacular Bryce Canyon and follow your guide on a tour through a multi-coloured world of sandstone spires and pinnacles, also known as “hoodoos”, that dazzle the eye. This evening, weather permitting, make sure to gaze upon the enchanting night-sky with sparkling stars & breath-taking constellations.
Departing Bryce Canyon, we ride onwards to the stunning Lake Powell, where canyon walls of red-rock tower over crystal blue waters. Lake Powell is the second-largest man-made lake in America, part of a series of lakes formed after the damming of the Colorado River. Our next stop will be the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven great natural wonders and most impressive sceneries of the world! Pause at the rim of the Canyon to fully experience and appreciate this mile-deep canyon and all its plunging gorges, rising spires, extinct volcanoes, and the snaking Colorado River. Riding on the Historic Route 66, Flagstaff will be where we dream of the sights of the day.
Viva Las Vegas! In the morning, we hit the road for Las Vegas, the dazzling “Entertainment Capital of the World”. On the way, we will pass through the authentic town of Seligman on the famed Route 66, which looks as if it froze in time sixty years ago. Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure exploring the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip.
Riding towards the western coast to Los Angeles, enjoy views of the scenic Mojave Desert with views of characteristic Joshua trees clustered on the mountainous backdrop. Arriving in L.A., join your guide for a tour through the “City of Angels” including famed spots as Hollywood, Sunset Strip and parts of Beverly Hills, before reaching our hotel around 17:00. Our trip will end in San Francisco after we say goodbye to newly-made friends.
