TrekAmerica runs several trips during the Christmas period, with options including:

California Christmas – Vegas New Year – Christmas Day in Yosemite National Park, 9-day tour.

The morning will be spent snowshoeing before heading south for the lively nightlife in the town of Barstow. This tour is a holiday of extremes and you’ll trade woolly hats and gloves for sunglasses and sun cream in Death Valley National Park, hiking the rocky trails and sand dunes in the hottest and driest place in North America. Next stop is the spectacular Zion National Park where it’s hard to imagine the scenery could get anymore spectacular than under a light dusting of winter snow. The final stop is Las Vegas where travellers will celebrate the New Year in style on a private limousine tour.

The trip costs £1,039 per person (excluding flights). The price includes the services of a TrekAmerica tour leader, transport, snowshoeing in Yosemite National Park, limousines in Las Vegas, accommodation and admission to all National Parks as per the itinerary.
