LA to Vegas: Grand National Parks

Michelle · Traveled November 2023
The trip of a lifetime. We were shown some amazing National Parks between Vegas and L.A and got to experience some beautiful sights I’d never imagined. Tour leader was great; knowledgeable, fun but never once compromised our safety. Highly recommend to anyone that appreciate’s nature at its best.

Hiking in Yosemite National Park

Lindsey · Traveled October 2023
I highly recommend this trip if you want to visit Yosemite and hike in a group. This trip includes the meadow, high country, and the Mist Trail (just to name a few highlights). We went in October when the trails weren’t as crowded compared to the summer and saw some fall foliage. Lana was a great guide. She brought tons of knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm to the group. I’m glad I did this trip.

Hiking in Yosemite National Park

Eleanor · Traveled October 2023
I’d definitely recommend this Yosemite hiking trip as it gives you time to properly explore the park and see all that it has to offer. The hikes weren’t too challenging which made for nice days out. We were busy from early in the morning until the evening so we definitely got our moneys worth. Our guide was excellent and made the experience very enjoyable.

Hiking in Yosemite National Park

Helen · Traveled October 2023
Really enjoyed the trip - Lana our guide was fantastic, and we saw a lot of the park with a busy (but manageable) itinerary. Our group (reasonably fit people from their 20s to their 70s) were able to go at our own speeds, so we were all able to enjoy the hikes.

LA to Vegas: Grand National Parks

Connor · Traveled October 2023
Thanks to intrepid and my guide Andrew for a great first overseas adventure. All the locations we explored were amazing, even including most of what we travelled through on the way to them. We had plenty of time at each location to explore and take it all in and the places we stayed along the way were nice.
