Los Angeles - Palm Springs
2 nights' accommodation at Rancho Las Palmas. Back in the 1920s, this desert oasis town was a favourite retreat for Hollywood stars who wanted some time out of the limelight, and in the sunshine. It still attracts the crème de la crème of Hollywood, eager to enjoy some secluded sunbathing and relaxing. There are over 50 golf courses in the Palm Springs area and, of course, those natural mineral springs that pop out of the ground mean there are plenty of pampering spas. Palm Springs is only an hour from Joshua Tree National Park with its dramatic rock formations, Indian petroglyphs and spiky cacti. Shopaholics can visit the nearby Desert Hills Premium Outlet Mall, where you can pick up bargains in shops like Ralph Lauren, Gap, Quiksilver and Gucci.
Palm Springs - Lake Havasu
1 night's accommodation at Nautical Inn Lake Havasu is home to world-famous London Bridge and offers water sports galore. There are also plenty of land sports and hiking in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Southwest.
Lake Havasu - Grand Canyon
1 night's accommodation at The Grand Hotel Enjoy the unforgettable, desert landscapes as you travel from Lake Havasu to the mile-deep Grand Canyon, where you'll be staying near the South Rim in the Grand Hotel, which has the area's only swimming pool! It takes a whole day to trek down to the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon, or you can cheat and pre-book the helicopter trip of a lifetime, where you'll descend through the colourful layers of rock to the river below. Feeling daring? Perhaps you want to walk around the newest tourist attraction, the Grand Canyon SkyWalk - where you stare straight through very toughened glass a mile down to the bottom of the canyon. It may be safe as houses (it could even hold the weight of a house!), but that doesn't mean it isn't utterly terrifying.
Grand Canyon - Las Vegas
3 nights' accommodation at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Get settled into your luxurious room at the plush Mandalay Bay Hotel, then it's time to discover the magic of Vegas! We hope you pre-booked the most amazing experience possible in Vegas, an incredible night helicopter ride over all of the lights and sights of Las Vegas? Avoid missing out on sell-out shows, such as Cirque du Soleil and Blue Man Group. You can also learn what it's like to be a cowboy by pre-booking our horse ranch adventure.
Las Vegas - Yosemite National Park
2 nights' accommodation at Cedar Lodge The supreme highlight of any trip to California is Yosemite National Park. No amount of photos can do justice to one of the world's most beautiful national parks. Yosemite encompasses 1,170sq miles, with many breathtaking view points including Glacier Point, located on the top of a 3,200ft almost sheer cliff. Make sure you pack some sturdy boots, as the best way to explore is by foot.
Yosemite National Park - San Francisco
2 nights' accommodation at Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf Drink in the beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the steep streets lined with picturesque Victorian houses. Yes, you're in San Francisco! Wine lovers should take a trip out into Napa and Sonoma Valleys' famous wine country. You can also shop till you drop in Union Square, then take a ride on a world-famous cable car back to your hotel. The brave ones among you can pre-book our spooky ghost hunt tour around some of the city's oldest buildings, while fun lovers can enjoy the Pier 39 attraction pass.
