Western Sun

7 days, Los Angeles to San Francisco

Small Group  The route between Los Angeles and San Francisco is commonly associated with dramatic coastline, sandy surf beaches and the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. All of which is undoubtedly fantastic, but why do what everyone else is doing, when you can see and experience quite a bit more by taking the less trampled route inland? So swap your flip-flops for a pair of hiking boots and pack away your floppy beach hat and don your sombrero – because you’re heading deep into the Wild West. Prepare for cacti studded landscapes, endless rusty red desert, copious canyons, unearthly rock formations and hazily hot temperatures as you check out some of America’s most distinctive locations – Joshua Tree National Park, Lake Havasu, The Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite National Park £560

California Dreamin

14 days Start & Finish San Francisco

Small Group Over 14 days you’ll check out all of California’s best ‘hang out’ spots. Starting out in San Francisco, you’ll saunter down the Pacific coast, taking in countless beachside sanctuaries – Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego are all on the itinerary. You’ll then swap laid-back living for the raw abandonment of the Great Outdoors – Joshua Tree, The Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite will all feature, as will a wee dip into the hedonistic side of American life in Las Vegas. You’ll eventually arrive back into San Francisco beautifully sun bleached, dreamily enraptured and ready to take on the world. £905

Wild Western

14 days, Start & Finish Los Angeles

18 to 35s Saddle on up all you hard drinkin’, fast ridin’ and straight shootin’ guys and gals and get yourself ready for a two-week trip of a lifetime across the American Wild West. Follow in the footsteps of dangerous outlaws, rugged wranglers and heroic sheriffs and check out some of the country’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. You certainly won’t be a lone-ranger - as you ride side-saddle with a big bunch of fellow greenhorns, stampeding through California, Arizona and Nevada in search of good times and new experiences. You’ll explore the raw landscapes of the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park and the Mojave Desert, and you’ll check out loads of especially cool cities – the beaches of San Diego, the desert atmosphere of Phoenix and the unrivalled cool of San Francisco £1085

L.A to the Bay

10 days, Los Angeles to San Francisco

18 to 35s This 10 day trip zooms you up to San Fran in a not altogether straight line, taking in an abundance of spine-tingling sights. You’ll still have a chance to check out the lovely sun-splashed beaches that California is so famous for with a couple of days in San Diego, but from that point on you’ll head inland deep into Cowboy country. The desert oasis of Phoenix, the awesome splendour of the Grand Canyon, the delightfully dangerous possibilities of Las Vegas and the stunning ecological artistry of Yosemite National Park are all extensively explored as you meander your way towards the ‘City by the Bay’. £795

The Westerner

14 days San Francisco to Las Vegas

Small Group This trip concerns itself with the culture of the “Great Outdoors” – the spiritual resonance, historical tangibility and boundless inspiration of Joshua Tree National Park, The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon. When it comes to personal interaction, the people you’re likely to bump into scream with diversity – wizened cowboys hopelessly clinging to a better way of life, big spending high-rollers prowling the casinos of Vegas and sun-bleached surf dudes dedicated to the variable tempers of the Pacific Ocean. You’ll stay in comfy, clean and superbly located hotels, hostels and cabins as you experience the very best of California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. £1,125
