Overview

The journey takes in plenty of agricultural regions before you arrive at Mount Rushmore where four US Presidents are carved in the rock. The lawless ‘’Wild West’’ has changed somewhat and as you pass through Deadwood, allow your imagination to take you back to the days of Wyatt Earp. Today there is perhaps more interest in places like Yellowstone with its famous Springs, including of course’’ Old Faithful?’’ Passing through Salt Lake City, you will not be disappointed by Bryce Canyon and certainly not the Grand Canyon although you will find it difficult to take a photograph to do it justice. It is a stark contrast from Las Vegas, a city successfully built in the Mojave Desert. You head west to Chicago and Hollywood before heading north. The Pacific Coastal route is stunning in itself as is the road you take to reach San Francisco. It is the city made famous by the Gold Rush, the 60s Flower Children, the Golden Gate and Alcatraz. A wonderful city in which to finish your holiday.

Arrive in Chicago and transfer independently to your hotel where you will meet with your Tour Director in the evening.
