Day 3
Time to start your golden triangle road trip
The Golden Triangle is packed with great drives, and only time will tell which will be your favourite. Today, you’ll drive Big Sur, which many believe to be the best drive on the planet. Big Sur is 100 miles of dramatic coastal road, which twists around curvy cliffs, passing by scenic State Parks and spectacular vista pull-ins. The last 135 miles pass through vast farms and pretty mid-coast vineyards before returning to the Pacific Coast. Get an early start, and you’ll have plenty of time to explore.
Collect your car and hit the road. First up is surf-obsessed Santa Cruz and its famous Boardwalk. Further down Highway 1 lies Monterey, once famous for its whaling and sardine industry. Today, it focuses on marine preservation at the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium. Monterey is also world-famous for its Whale Watching cruises. Complete the day with a short drive along “17-Mile Drive” to your hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea. This scenic toll road takes you on a quick tour past rugged beaches, millionaire homes and wind-blown cypress trees. Watch Seals bask in the sun and Sea Otters bob up and down in the waves.

Explore the Fisherman's Wharf area for the day.
Fisherman’s Wharf, The Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island can all be enjoyed in a single day. Start the day by hiring a bike or tandem from Blazing Saddles, and then follow the bike path over the Golden Gate Bridge to the delightful small town of Sausalito.

Some 760,000 years ago, a massive volcano exploded in this region, creating a network of steaming water underground. Head east to Benton Hot Springs to relax in any of nine outdoor hot tubs at The Inn at Benton Hot Springs.
Day 7/8
We make our way to Death Valley and onto Los Vegas.
Death Valley has an extreme climate and geology, so start early or late to avoid the mid-day heat. This National Park’s roads are superb, dipping and leaning around curves before straightening out as you dip down to 85m below sea level in the salt flats of Badwater. You’ll then climb to finish your drive by the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada. It’s one of the longer drives on this Golden Triangle tour, but it’s a drive you’ll never forget as the landscape is so very different from back home.
After checking in to your glamorous Las Vegas hotel, get dressed up and hit the town’s tables, bars and restaurants – time to paint the town red.
A second day of luxury and fun in Las Vegas
If your head hurts after the night before, then relax by the pool or enjoy the hotel’s spa. If you’re ready for more action, check out your Road Trip Pack for a list of city attractions. In the evening, stretch your legs with a walk along the legendary ‘Strip’, book tickets to one of the incredible shows or take in some retail therapy. Before leaving Las Vegas, consider visiting one of the city’s legendary hotel buffets. Just be sure you’re hungry when you go; the vast range and high food quality will astound you.
Day 9
We make our way to the Hoover Dam and then onto our Rest hole at The Grand Canyon.
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. Constructed between 1931 and 1936, during the Great Depression, You will have around 1 hours here then onto the Grand Canyon.
Imagine the Grand Canyon with no people. Just the psychedelic-colored canyon walls, the wind, and the river silent at the bottom of the gorge. That’s how it must have looked to the Native Americans who lived in and around the Grand Canyon 12,000 years ago, and to the Spanish explorers who laid eyes on the rift in the 16th century.
Fast forward to today, when more than six million people a year visit The Grand Canyon to experience its visitor centers, mule trips, train tour, helicopter rides, and more.
Day 10
Monument Valley and down to Indian Wells
