lodging with all accommodation included.
From April to October this is a camping based tour with all fees

Although each tour follows an itinerary, there is a certain
amount of flexibility and from time to time your trek leader may
suggest changes. This may be due to road conditions, weather, or a
visit to a special attraction that happens to be in progress.
Flexibility is key and often a side diversion will be a highlight
of the trek.
Please find below more detailed information on the destinations
this tour visits. In alphabetical order:
Arches National Park - Arches National Park is
located just a few miles outside the town of Moab, Utah. Stunning
red sandstone arches have been created by a million years of wind
whipping down the west slope of the Rocky Mountains. Here you will
have the
opportunity to hike to many of these incredible arches which are
known by descriptive names such as, Landscape Arch and the famous
Delicate Arch.
Bryce Canyon National Park - Bryce Canyon is a
fascinating landscape of thin spires of pink and orange stone. The
Navajo Loop trail enables you to hike right in amongst these unique
formations. Or perhaps you would prefer to remain on the rim,
photographing
the change of colours and shadows as the sun moves across the
sky.
Escalante National Monument - Located in south
central Utah, over 7,600 sq. km. of utterly fantastic, unspoiled,
rough and rugged desert, canyons, rivers and mountains dominate!
Declared a National Monument in 1996 this preserve is home to
rattlesnakes,
cacti, mountain lions, bears, and 200 species of birds and is
surrounded by Dixie and Fishlake National Forests. Great hiking
trails await!
Grand Canyon National Park – This incredible
spectacle is difficult to comprehend, even as you stand at the rim
or hike down into the canyon. Carved over millennia, this massive
wonder of nature is 277 miles long, up to 16 miles wide and 1 mile
deep. We highly
recommend a scenic flight over the canyon and the IMAX film to
obtain perspectives you cannot achieve on foot.
NB: In the Grand Canyon National Park, the regulations limit the
group size and do not allow guided hikes. The tour leaders will
provide briefings, directions and maps, but are not permitted to
walk with you on the trails.
Las Vegas – Las Vegas is the fastest growing city
in the United States and the “tacky capital of the world”, home to
pirates and pyramids, weddings and waterfalls. If it is gambling
you want, you have come to the right place. Nowhere else in the
world will you find as many casinos. But if you really want to try
your luck, stop in at one of its countless wedding chapels.
Monument Valley - In the heart of the Navajo
Nation, Monument Valley is sacred land to those who call it home.
The red sandstone monoliths have been the backdrop to countless
‘westerns’ featuring cowboys riding off into the sunset. Explore
the incredible array of rock formations on an optional guided Jeep
tour and learn the magic
and myth of the rich Native American culture.
Zion National Park – Just a few hours northeast
of Las Vegas, lies Zion Canyon, named by the early Mormon settlers
of Utah. Some of the best hiking in the desert Southwest can be
found here in the fertile Virgin River Gorge. Ascend 2500 feet to
experience unbeatable views from atop Angels Landing, take a short
hike from the valley floor to view the Emerald Pools, or cool off
from the summer sun by exploring the Narrows section of the Virgin
River.
