    Day 2

    Bay Area - Barstow (411 miles)

    We'll drive through California's central valley and into the vast and beautiful Mojave Desert, with its Joshua tree forests, singing sand dunes, volcanic cinder cones, wildflowers, canyons, mountains, and mesas. Later, we’ll stop for a shopping adventure at the Tanger Outlets in Barstow, which offers factory discounted prices at fashion and accessory powerhouses such as Calvin Klein, Coach, Guess, Michael Kors, and Polo Ralph Lauren. We’ll return with our purchases to our hotel in Barstow for a night's rest.

    Standard Hotel: Quality Inn Barstow
    Day 3

    Barstow - Death Valley National Park - Las Vegas (339 miles)

    Death Valley is arguably one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. Looking out from Zabriskie Point, you are surrounded by forbidding, almost unearthly, desert landscapes. These are the badlands. Beneath the dark shadows of the Black Mountains, a great, extraordinarily flat expanse of shimmering white spreads out before you: the Bad Water. At 282 feet below sea-level, it is the lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere. Step onto the trail and you'll see that the white expanse is made up of billions of crystals of almost pure table salt! After leaving this stunning park, we’ll head back to Las Vegas. Upon arrival in Las Vegas, you will have a choice of joining a Special Night Tour*, which will show you the best of what Las Vegas has to offer, or exploring the city on your own. Overnight stay in Las Vegas.

    *Optional activity; fee not included in tour price. See “Exclusions” for cost details.

    Death Valley

    Death Valley is a national park located between the states of California and Nevada. Several Native American groups lived in this area as early as 7000 BCE. The Valley got its name around 1849 when a group of European-Americans became stuck in the valley while looking for gold and one person of the group died. The park has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve.

    Las Vegas, NV

    Nicknamed 'Sin City' and the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city has giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere.

    Day 4

    Las Vegas - Grand Canyon South/West Rim - Las Vegas (614 miles)

    Today we will make our way to the Grand Canyon, one of the most spectacular examples of water’s erosive power. Carved by the Colorado River beginning as much 17 million years ago (according to recent studies), this stunning natural wonder is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep. Canyon National Park is a designated World Heritage Site and is incomparable with its vistas of sheer drops and cliffs marked with different geological strata dating back billions of years. We’ll spend the day along the South Rim of the Canyon, stopping at various viewpoints along the way and admiring this glorious work of art that could only have been sculpted by nature and time. Then return for an overnight stay at our hotel in Las Vegas.

    OR

    Las Vegas - Hoover Dam - Grand Canyon West Rim - Las Vegas

    From Las Vegas, we’ll make our first stop of the day at the magnificent and massive Hoover Dam, built during the Great Depression to harness the power of the Colorado River. We’ll then travel on to the Hualapai Indian Reservation, located on the West Rim of the Grand Canyon*, and its famous Skywalk*. Created by David Jin of the Hualapai Tribe, the Skywalk extends in a U-shaped platform 70 feet over the edge of the Grand Canyon, and about 4,000 feet above its basin. With a 10 foot solid glass floor, you’ll have a view of the Canyon below like nothing you’ve ever seen – the closest thing to floating in thin air. You may also elect to experience the Grand Canyon from both above and below: the adventurous among you won’t want to miss the Helicopter and Pontoon Boat Ride*. Later, we’ll return to our hotel for a night’s rest.

    *Optional activity; fee not included in tour price. See “Exclusions” for cost details.

    Grand Canyon

    The Grand Canyon is often considered one of the seven wonders of the world, it offers one of the most spectacular examples of erosion which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
