About the trip

This 16-day escorted camping tour by G Adventures kicks off in Las Vegas and heads towards the region's celebrated national parks. You'll find yourself on the rocky slopes of Sequoia National Park, passing the General Sherman tree, then onward to the dramatic slot canyon hike through The Narrows in Zion National Park. Along the way, the tour pauses for hikes like the Mist Trail's ascent out of Yosemite's valley and time to appreciate the dark skies of Capitol Reef National Park.

Camping forms the backbone of accommodation, mostly in dome tents complete with self-inflating mattresses, across a mix of public and private campgrounds that often neighbour RVs and trailers. The journey involves several long drives to cover the vast distances between parks. Alongside the trekking, there's an evening spent enjoying s'mores in Bryce Canyon, and those inclined will pitch in with meal prep and packing down camp under the guidance of the CEO. The trip concludes in San Francisco, leaving guests to make their own onward arrangements.
