An amazing trip, every day brought a new ‘wow’ moment, with the different landscape and scale of each national park. We loved the hikes, and that there were options for all levels too. Walking down into the Grand Canyon was amazing, seeing the hoodoos at Bryce, the rock formation of antelope canyon, exploring Zion and Yosemite, Monument Valley, Arches, Forest Gump Hill and then the sensory overload of Vegas! A full on trip, but absolutely worth it.

I had a great experience with G adventures. We had an amazing group of people and although the fully packed days can be a bit tiring, we got to see so much in a relatively short period of time. The camping was a great affordable option and I loved our evenings around the campfire with our group. Would highly recommend.
