Summary
Set out on a 20-day adventure that mixes the vastly varied landscapes of western USA with some of its most famous cities. Start in the red canyon country of the southwest with visits to Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks, take a Navajo-guided tour of Monument valley and walk the rim of the Grand Canyon. After a stop in Vegas it’s across the Mojave and into California, where the towering timber of Sequoia and Redwood national parks awaits. Stay in San Francisco, spend two nights exploring Yosemite National Park, see the deepest lake in the US at Crater Lake National Park, stop for a wine tasting in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and take in the Multnomah Falls in Columbia River Gorge. Add in a break in Portland, a visit to Olympic National Park and Hoh Rainforest before ending in Seattle.
