If you have time, make sure to visit the Las Vegas Strip just outside the city, home to many of the largest hotels, casinos, and resort properties in the world. In the afternoon, we will gather at our hotel (see departure times and locations below). Later, join us on a night tour* where we will explore the city’s thriving night life and watch a Las Vegas show such as Fremont Street’s Viva Vision, the Fountains of Bellagio, or Mardi Gras at Rio.* A visit to Las Vegas would not be complete without this attraction!

We begin the day by traveling to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, arriving around 11:00 AM at this immense two-billion-year formation. Standing at the promontory of Lipan Point, you will feel yourself amazed by the scale of nature’s great power. We will also have the opportunity to see an IMAX film* about the history of the Grand Canyon and those who have braved its rapids and sheer walls. After, we will leave the Grand Canyon and return to Las Vegas, stopping to see the Hoover Dam along the way. The largest dam in the United States, it was built in 1935 in an experimental construction effort which is now considered monumental for the industrial progress of the United States. Then we will continue on to Las Vegas, arriving around 5:30 PM. Tonight, don’t pass up the opportunity to explore the city’s thriving night life for yourself or even try your luck at a casino!

Afterwards we will return to Las Vegas and then depart for Los Angeles at 9:00 AM, stopping along the way at Barstow Outlets mall, where we will benefit from their great selection and discounts on popular brand names. After our shopping spree, we will continue on our way to Los Angeles, arriving around 6:00 PM.

After departing Los Angeles at dawn, we will drive along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway, stopping in the Santa Ynez Valley’s quaint Danish Village of Solvang just before lunchtime, approx. 11:30 a.m. The antiquated windmills and Northern European-style architecture punctuate this charming village's skyline. Brilliant sunshine, boundless open country and rolling hills--these are the characteristics that inspired the original Danish immigrants who settled this area to call it "Solvang" or "Sunny Field.” Pour yourself a cup of aromatic European coffee and nibble a piece of world famous Danish pastry. Around 1:00 p.m., we will board the bus to make our way to the ornate Hearst Castle* in San Simeon, where we should arrive by 3:00 p.m. Built by the famous newspaper tycoon, William Randolph Hearst, at the cost of the millions of dollars, Hearst Castle and the surrounding estate boasts 165 rooms filled with priceless antiques and works of art, as well as an ornate gilt-bordered swimming pool. We will have two hours to explore the castle and grounds before we board the bus to take us to eat dinner and travel to our hotel in the evening.

After eating breakfast in San Francisco’s Chinatown, we’ll explore San Francisco, the beautiful City by the Bay! Our tour will visit the stately Palace of Fine Arts; the Golden Gate Bridge; Lombard Street, the world’s most crooked street; and Fishermen’s Wharf, the bustling tourist area still home to many commercial fisheries. Then join us on a Bay Cruise,* where we will experience a view of the East Bay, the beautiful city skyline, the stately Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, and the harbor islands, including Alcatraz Island, Angel Island, and Treasure Island. Around 3:00pm, passengers may choose to explore the city at their leisure or take an Extensive City Tour,* visiting sights such as St. Mary’s Cathedral; Alamo Square; Twin Peaks; the Civic Center; and the Castro District (otherwise known as the gay capital of the world).

Just before 7:00pm, we will return to the city for dinner and return to our hotel.

With its notable cliffs and unique carved rock formations, there is little doubt that water - in both its liquid and solid form as glacial ice - was the chief architect of Yosemite's landscapes. We will have close to two hours to experience this natural wonder up close, with stops for photo opportunities and exploration at such viewpoints as the El Capitan and Bridal Veil Falls, the mighty Yosemite Falls, and the Tunnel View.
