Introduction
'The Best of the West' ... You've probably heard the phrase before - but we genuinely believe that we have created a fly-drive itinerary that truly lives up to this bold statement. On this fantastic 14 night trip you'll experience a wealth of contrast. Start with three nights in the beautiful 'City by the Bay' - San Francisco, then head west to the truly magnificent Yosemite National Park where you can unwind & explore this natural wonderland. Discover dramatic desert scenery in Death Valley, a quick overnight stop in fabulous Las Vegas before jetting off to Salt Lake City follwowed by three days in & around the uniquely diverse & jaw-droppingly majestic Yellowstone National Park! ... One thing is certain - at the end of your trip you'll feel like you've not only visited some of the most amazing places in Western USA - you've really experienced them... leaving you with memories (&, no doubt, many many photographs) that will last you a lifetime!
Yosemite National Park and Yellowstone National Park are two of America’s oldest National Parks, recognised early on by environmentalists and the US Congress alike as magnificent landscapes worthy to be preserved for all time - and indeed they were... Today, the rivers run sparkling clear, the air is pristine and the forests lush.
Yellowstone stands guard over two thirds of the planet’s active hydrothermal features - bubbling paint pots, spouting geysers, gurgling hot springs. You’ll be travelling through some of the most amazing and unusual landscapes in America – places where volcanic action pushed peaks higher and rivers cut canyons deeper than elsewhere in the country. You’ll find deserts punctuated with twisted, craggy forms, right alongside lush green rugged countryside. In some places, the landscapes are so unusual that you may even feel like you’ve reached another planet. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, prepare to be awed by the ever present Grand Teton Range, majestically rising from the earth like craggy blades - even at the magnificently blue Jenny Lake, they loom massively overhead.
Yosemite & Yellowstone National Parks are located hundreds of miles apart and rarely do travellers get to explore them both within a two week trip. That’s now changed... This fly-drive has been specially designed to let you take advantage of a visit to both of these spectacular parks.
Accommodation
The accommodation we have chosen represents a good mixture - from basic, clean and comfortable properties around the National Park areas with convenient locations - to some lovely properties in the cities that offer a chic style with absolutely no compromise on location. By selecting these properties we have tried to keep a balance between cost, convenience and the standard of accommodation offered, we would be more than happy to discuss alternative properties or upgrades with you.
