U.S.A. Western Highlights Tours
for 18 - 35 Year Young Professionals and College Students
Overview
Everybody's guilty of
some sweet, innocent California dreaming, which makes a two-day, San Diego
sun-n'-surf stop, a great western start. While there, run for the border for
shopping bargains, cold beer and warm tequila in nearby Tijuana, Mexico. The
highlights continue Grand Canyon, desert paradise-style in Arizona, and later
in Nevada, where okay, party people and poker champs, we'll show our hand: Your
final destination is Sin City itself, Las Vegas.
Itinerary
Day 1 Los Angeles
(Anaheim) to San Diego
The Adventure Begins! Your morning begins with a warm
welcome from your Contiki road crew and a short drive along the Pacific
Coast to San Diego, where we'll introduce you to "America's Finest City"
with a sightseeing tour, that includes downtown, the Gaslamp Quarter and
Balboa Park. We'll drive across the Coronado Bridge for great views of
the San Diego skyline! Tonight we'll enjoy the lively Gaslamp
Quarter.
Hotel (D)
Day 2 San
Diego
Fun in the Sun. Today you choose how to spend your day.
Perhaps you'll want to visit the World Famous San Diego Zoo or hang out
with the whale, Shamu, at Sea World! This afternoon we'll head to Mission
Beach to check out the So Cal beach scene. (weather permitting) This
evening experience some of San Diego's nightlife! Hotel (B)
Day 3 San Diego to
Phoenix
This morning we leave the beach life of Southern
California and travel to the cacti filled Sonoran desert. Today's drive
is full of ever changing scenery, passing through Cleveland National
Forest, Anza Borrego Desert and the Imperial Sand dunes. After lunch it's
on to Phoenix and our hotel in the university town of Tempe. Hotel
(B)
Day 4 Phoenix to the
Grand Canyon
Today is filled with deserts, red rocks and the Grand
Canyon! This morning you'll have an opportunity to take a hot air balloon
flight about the incredible Sonoran desert (optional). See the desert
come alive as you float peacefully above. Leaving Phoenix we journey to
red rock country. You'll be awed by the brilliantly hued sandstone carved
by sea and wind into cliffs and rugged spires. Get a closer look at the
Sedona back country with an optional jeep ride. Next stop is the Grand
Canyon! Our modern cabins are located inside the National Park, just a
short walk to the rim of the Grand Canyon. Cabin (B,D)
Day 5 Grand Canyon
National Park
A World Wonder. At over 1.6km (1 mile) deep and averaging
16km (10 miles) wide, it is easy to understand why the Grand Canyon is
considered one of the world's seven natural wonders. We have the entire
day to hike and explore the national park. Maybe take a sensational
helicopter flight over the canyon (optional). Don't miss the spectacular
sunset at the Grand Canyon. Cabin (B)
Day 6 Grand Canyon to
Las Vegas
On to Sin City! From quiet beauty to outrageous bright
lights - Las Vegas awaits you! Tonight, we'll take a drive down the
famous Vegas "Strip." You won't believe your eyes at this crazy place!
After the light show at Fremont Street, why not take in a Las Vegas
cabaret show? (optional) Hotel (D)
Day 7 Las
Vegas
Vegas, Baby! Only in Las Vegas can you visit most of the
world's largest hotels and casinos in one day, gamble while you swim,
catapult 327 meters (1,081 feet) up in the air from the top of the
Stratosphere Hotel, feel like you are in Venice, Egypt, New York, Ancient
Rome, and Paris all at the same time, and party like a rock star 24 hours
a day! Get out there and do it all - or just lie by the pool and relax.
Tonight, party on at one of Las Vegas's premier hot spots! Hotel (B)
Day 8 Las
Vegas
Say a final farewell to your new found friends, as your
tour ends this morning. Remember... what happens in Vegas stays in
Vegas!
