n amazing coast to coast trip where white sandy beaches sandwich stunning national parks, vibrant cities and breathtaking desert landscapes. Experience the very best of Americas Sun Belt that will shine with you forever.
cactus forests, rolling hills and craggy mountains. Day 15 Sonora Desert Escape the city and get back to nature in the beautiful solitude of the Sonora Desert. Time for all those arty photos to impress friends back home. Day 16/17 Grand Canyon National Park (H) One mile deep, 18 miles wide, 277 miles long and endlessly fascinating. Spend a day trekking round the rim then the following day take to the skies for a birds eye view. Day 18/19 Las Vegas (HP) Bright lights, big city. And they dont get much brighter or bigger than here. Take a limo, take in a show, take a chance on black or just take it all in. For glitz and glamour, theres nowhere like it on earth. Day 20 Death Valley National Park A land of extremes; the hottest, driest and lowest place on earth. Unspoilt, rugged beauty with multi-coloured rocks, water-fluted canyons, sand dunes and snow capped mountains waiting to be explored. Day 21 San Diego Miles of beaches and with a Mediterranean climate, its a city that can be explored on foot at any time of year with plenty of galleries, museums and animal parks. If you can tear yourself away from the beach! Day 22/23 Los Angeles The city of angels is a heavenly centre of culture, music, arts, film, shopping, celebrities, sport and much more. Experience déjà vu with street corners, shops and many views somehow strangely familiar. Day 24 Santa Barbara The American Riviera, with a stunning mountain back drop to the city. Explore the city, the beach or the surrounding hills. Day 25 San Francisco This amazing journey ends here. But dont go without seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the Coit Tower and dont forget to come back.
