Itinerary

  • Day 1-2: Las Vegas & Zion NP

    Leaving the bright lights behind, it's time to relax and go with the flow - the flow of the Virgin River that is, as it cuts a snaking path between tinted cliff walls. Or hike to the famed Angel's Landing for an amazing birds-eye view. Okay, so getting up there can be devilish at times, but the trail puts Zion on a 360-degree display of this magnificent national park. Accommodation: Camping included

  • Day 3: Bryce NP

    You'll be left struggling to describe this fantastical place, where erosion has carved thousands of spires, fins, arches and mazes into a weird and wonderful landscape, collectively known as "hoodoos"! Accommodation: Camping included

  • Day 4-5: Moab/Arches NP

    North America's premier adventure playgound! Mountain bike along slickrock trails, kick back and take in the scenery on an extreme Hummer tour, take a breathtaking stroll to Delicate Arch or just relax and enjoy the awe-insipiring views of Canyonlands National Park from Dead Horse Point. Accommodation: Camping included

  • Day 6: Overnight Rafting Trip

    Trade in our home on wheels for a customized white water raft and conquer the 100 miles of Colorado River from Moab to Hite Marina through the legendary Cataract Canyon. Journey through some of the most remote and protected wilderness in the desert southwest and spend a night under the stars on one of the world's greatest rivers. The elements and atmosphere conspire with heart-pounding action to create an experience you will never forget! Accommodation: Camping included

  • Day 7: Rafting Trip & Monument Valley

    After breakfast we continue our rafting adventure down the Colorado River. The steepest descent of the Colorado River is encountered with these rapids in Canyonlands National Park. The raft hits some of its most well known and respected Grade III - IV rapids like "Satan's Gut" and "Little Niagara" in the famous Big Drops. The raft trip ends with a relaxing cruise across Lake Powell, a stunning red rock and blue green water wonderland.

    We're then on the road again and off to Monument Valley, one of North America's most iconic landscapes, used as the set for countless Hollywood scenes, from Westerns to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Be amazed as our Navajo guide takes us deep into the sacred valley on an optioanl 4x4 tour under the azure Arizona sky. Accommodation: Camping included

  • Day 8-9: Grand Canyon NP

    Canyon'd out yet? We didn't think so! Especially when we're talking about one of the world's seven natural wonders.

Enjoy a beautiful sunrise or an unforgettable helicopter flight over this incredible natural wonder. Accommodation: Camping included
