About this trip
Eleven days camping across the national parks of the American Southwest and California, from Las Vegas to San Francisco. This is a proper parks-hopping tour, with a 4x4 jeep run through Monument Valley, hikes in Utah's canyon country and a stop at the Grand Canyon.
The route takes in Zion, Bryce, Arches and Canyonlands before looping back through Las Vegas and out to Death Valley and Yosemite, finishing with a city tour of San Francisco. Expect long days, big landscapes and a group living out of tents for most of the trip.
Commentary is delivered live in English, with a free app offering translated commentary in French, German, Spanish and Italian.
