Day 1 Lake Tahoe
Only in San Francisco will you hear the chime of the cable cars, overlook Alcatraz, and smell the savory chocolate of Godiva. That’s why we kick this tour off with a stint in one of our favorite cities. Pose by the Golden Gate Bridge (it’s actually red!), wave hello to the seals at Fisherman’s Wharf, and spend some time in one of the world’s most renowned Chinatowns.

Next up is a playground for all-seasons, Lake Tahoe. Whether it’s adventure sports or a relaxing oasis, Lake Tahoe has it all and then some.

Day 2 Sierra Nevadas
A serene backdrop follows at the famed Sierra Nevadas. An option for adventure awaits underground. Try something new during a caving expedition to explore mysterious caverns by foot, hands and knees. Twist, grind, and crawl on your belly like a reptile for some subterranean adventure. If a glass of vino sounds a little more enticing, then no worries, we’re in wine country and can suite your tastes.

Days 3, 4 Yosemite National Park
Love waterfalls? Then you’re headed to the right place. At Yosemite, one of USA’s national park system’s crown jewels, you’ll have the opportunity to bike the valley, float the river, or hike the trails of this picturesque paradise. Prepare to be stunned by granite symbols El Capitan and Half Dome that guard over the valley. As a bonus, take one of our most highly recommended hikes to Nevada Falls where a surprise from nature awaits you at the top.

Day 5 Big Sur
Get ready for some Big Sur action! Nestled between the powerful Pacific Ocean and nearby mountains, Big Sur is a mandatory stop in this part of California. There’s some fantabulous hiking and nice vistas around these parts.

Days 6 Pacific Coast and Hwy 1
Sit back, take a deep breath, and get ready for one of the most spectacular rides you’ll ever take in your life. Ride the Famous Pacific Coast Highway with breathtaking scenery around every bend as well as a few famous landmarks along the way like Hearst Castle, the unimaginable palace-like estate of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.

Day 7 LA/Venice Beach
Hang 10, dude! Grab your swimsuit, shades, and sandals. Soak up some sun on the beach, build a sandcastle, or jump in for a game of ultimate frisbee. While taking in Venice Beach, stroll the boardwalk and shop the local artisan market or watch a street performance. How about topping it off with a stop in Hollywood to walk amongst the stars?

Day 8 Las Vegas
From one extreme to another, get ready for the bright lights of Sin City. Las Vegas has it all! Enjoy the tomfoolery with your new friends.

Days 9, 10 Zion National Park
At Zion, enjoy some of the best hiking around. If you want a challenge, try Angel's Landing for a rewarding experience and killer view; and, if you want more relaxing day, hike to the beautiful Emerald Pools. If you are the adventurous type, you may want to try some canyoneering (hiking in a river where the river is the trail) on our second day in Zion, otherwise, there are endless trails you can continue to explore. Ever been exteme tubing? Well, get ready because we will spend an afternoon on the Virgin River splashing around.

Day 11 Bryce Canyon National Park
Next, you will visit one of the most unique parks in the USA, Bryce Canyon. It is quite simply, nature's sculpture garden. Hanging out with the hoodoos, a strangely spectacular landscape with an explosive contrast of colors. Bryce Canyon is very photographic friendly, so be sure to have your camera handy during the hike. Later that day, you can cool off with some fun whitewater rafting down a scenic Central Utah route.

Days 12, 13 Arches National Park/ Moab
The glory rolls on as we take you to Arches National Park with its unique and unforgiving landscape. Delicate Arch is a recognizable icon you won't want to miss. You will wonder how Balanced Rock stays up, and awe at Landscape Arch.

And, since we are in Moab, the mountain biking capital of the world, it might be a good idea to get a mountain bike for the day to hit the legendary Slickrock Trail. This is adventure travel, so if you don't care for mountain biking you can always canoe the nearby Colorado River, or substitute with an off-road jeep, hummer, or ATV tour.

Day 14 Lake Powell
You will love Lake Powell. Its gorgeous, super-blue, and temperate water makes a dip here very refreshing. We'll let you laze on the rock beach or revitalize with a leisurely swim in the cove for a relaxing afternoon. Afterwards, we can check out the unique and amazing rare slot canyons on a nearby walk-through tour.

Day 15 Grand Canyon National Park
Prepare for a stunning view as you make your way over to one of the world's 8 natural wonders, the Grand Canyon. You can take a hike on one of the trails, or take in the breathtaking views on the Rim while looking for the elusive California Condor. The sunsets and sunrises here are absolutely amazing.

Day 16 Las Vegas
Our last day we end this adventure travel tour and head back to Sin City, Las Vegas, to say farewell.
