Itinerary

  • Day 1 Dallas Forth Worth to Amarillo. Fort Worth - Gather round, roadies, gather round. The unforgettable US adventure starts today here in dreamy Dallas, and our first port of call is Amarillo. Let's go. Amarillo - Here we are. In true Americana Style, we'll visit Cadillac Ranch - a unique art exhibit celebrating the golden age of Cadillacs. Next, we'll beef up our evening with a Texan steakhouse dinner (and all the trimmings too.) But before we go any further, has anyone seen Sweet Marie?
  • Day 2 Amarillo to Albuquerque. Amarillo - Adios, Amarillo. Today we're making our way to New Mexico - next stop, Albuquerque. Albuquerque - This afternoon we'll embark on a unique MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience to the Pueblo Cultural Centre - dedicated to preserving Pueblo Indian culture. Afterwards, you're free to explore the city however you like.
  • Day 3 Albuquerque to Denver. Albuquerque - We'll make a flying start to the day today - literally. That's right, today you have the opportunity to take a scenic Hot Air Balloon ride with your crew. Cameras at the ready folks. Afterwards, we'll make our way to dreamy Denver. Denver - Here in Denver, you'll check out all the major sites with your Trip Manager and fellow travellers, including the 16th Street Mall, McGregor Square, Denver Milk Market and the famous blue bear - a 40ft statue outside the Denver Convention Centre.
  • Day 4 Denver. Today is your to explore Denver however you like. Don't miss the botanical gardens, the Art Museum and the Science & Nature museum. We also have an optional activity today, giving you the chance to take part in ziplining.
  • Day 5 Denver to Moab. Denver - Today we'll leave Denver in our rearview but don't panic, we've got Moab firmly in our sights. Here, we, go! Moab - Well hello there, Moab - home to rock art, dinosaur bones and plenty of national parks (which you'll get to know pretty well with Contiki.) Tonight we'll grab a bite to eat and then hit the hay - a big day awaits us tomorrow.
  • Day 6 Moab with Canyonlands and Arches National Park. Moab - Our mission for the next few days is a simple (but very epic) one: tick the Big 5 national parks of Utah off our bucket list, starting with Canyonlands. Canyonlands National Park - Desert landscapes, with an almost perfect 8-shaped river running through it - Canyonlands is sure to stay with you for a while. Arches National Park - Home to over 2,000 sandstone arches and sublime views, you'll be posing for selfies left, right and centre here at the Arches. Moab - Back in Moab, with a head full of beautiful scenery and a camera-reel full of awesome content, we'll hit the hay tonight, ready for more of the same in the morning!
  • Day 7 Moab to Bryce Canyon via Capitol Reef National Park. Moab - Wakey wakey, roadies. Today we'll make our way to the next national park on our hitlist: Capitol Reef. Capitol Reef National Park - Here in redrock country, your jaw will drop and the size, scale and utter beauty of Capitol Reef's cliffs and canyons. Enjoy yourself on one of the USA's very best hikes. Bryce Canyon National Park - And if you thought THAT was amazing, wait 'til you watch the sun set over the spires of Bryce Canyon. It's romantic and then some!
  • Day 8 Bryce Canyon to Zion. Bryce Canyon National Park - The sprawling Bryce Canyon National Park is made up of a series of otherworldly natural amphitheaters and crimson-colored hoodoos (towering spire-shaped rock formations). Heading into Bryce Canyon, we'll admire its unique organic earth bowls filled with red, orange and white spires and you'll have the chance to take to hike through the hoodoos. Zion National Park - Journeying into the Zion Canyon, our jaws will drop at the towering white, pink and red Navajo sandstone cliffs, surrounded by hanging gardens, soaring peaks, wildlife and birdsong. We'll spend most of today here, so pack some snacks and wear your best boots to get the most out of the day. There's no shortage of trails of all different levels, not to mention restaurants and cafes. Bryce Canyon National Park - Back in Bryce, you'll have the chance to kick back with your crew and chat about what an amazing day it's been.
  • Day 9 Bryce Canyon to Grand Canyon via Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell. Bryce Canyon National Park - Today we'll journey from one canyon to the next. We'll finish up today at the big one, the Grand Canyon, but we have a few saucy stop-offs along the way. Horseshoe Bend - A meander of the colorado river, which just so happens to be shaped like a horseshoe - Mother Nature, you've outdone yourself with this one! Lake Powell - This reservoir is visited by over 2 million people every year, and once you catch it IRL you'll understand exactly why. Grand Canyon National Park - And now for the one you've been dreaming about (even more than the rest). The star of your USA itinerary. Yup, it's the Grand Canyon. It's about to get extra special too, because tonight we'll be marvelling at the sunset from the South Rim. Charge your phone, clear space on your camera, and prepare to weep.
  • Day 10 Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon National Park - You will be contemplating life, existence, and the immense size of the Grand Canyon with a free day to spend in Grand Canyon National Park. You can spend your day feeling a part of the wilderness as you go hiking through the exposed rock, but by far the most spine tingling experience at this natural wonder is one of our optional chopper rides through the UNESCO World Heritage site. Indulgent sure, but one of those life moments you deserve to treat yourself to.
  • Day 11 Grand Canyon to Las Vegas via Hoover Dam. Grand Canyon National Park - With the timeless beauty of the Grand Canyon imprinted in our brains forever, we'll swap hiking boots for dancing shoes as we pull up in Sin City via the historic Route 66. Hoover Dam - 'Dam that's amazing!' This one combines natural beauty with human ingenuity - and the results are something else. Las Vegas - We've reached the one and only Sin City. Upon arrival we'll cruise the iconic strip & check out the Vegas sign. Feeling romantic? Stop by and see one of the many Elvis impersonators for a shotgun wedding ceremony, and maybe even get hitched yourself (joking).Tonight, choose to hang out around Fremont Street or opt for a VIP nightclub experience for the kind of glitzy night out that only Vegas can provide.
  • Day 12 Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Las Vegas - After partying it up in Las Vegas, we'll take the scenic route through the Mojave Desert. Los Angeles - And there you have it, folks. We may have ran out of road on our USA road trip but things could be worse - you're in the City of Angels after all! There are plenty of activities here to keep the stars in your eyes, and if you're strapped for ideas, you could always set about planning the next adventure with your new Contiki family (just a thought).
