Our
Most Popular Routes
The first step in creating your itinerary is to answer the question
of where. Several factors can play a role in answering that question,
including how much time you have, what destinations you had in mind
when you began dreaming about your trip, what types of things you're
interested in doing, and how far you're willing to travel. Because
every itinerary we create is unique, the ultimate route you take
may look nothing like anything we've ever done before. But, a decade
of experience has taught us that certain routes tend to work well
for a large number of clients.
Have a look at them, and let them stimulate your holiday dreaming.
You may find that one looks perfect the way it is,and we can use
that as the basis of your holiday planning. Alternatively, you may
decide that a little trimming in order to fit your needs, or that
you'd like to go with something completely different. Whatever your
vision, we'll make it happen for you just the way you like it.
Once we've decided on a route that includes the destinations you're
most interested in visiting, we'll get into the specifics of how
much time to spend in a given destination, and what activities to
focus on while you're there.

THE NAVAJO CIRCLE |
|
Commonly known as the "Grand Circle,"
the Navajo Circle focuses on the national parks
of the South West. As shown on the map, there is
a short version of the circle that includes the
most well-known of the parks, a longer version of
the circle, that adds more remote, but equally spectacular
parks, and an extended version that includes a foray
into the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. |

THE SHOSHONE ROUTE |
|
A marriage of the Navajo Circle and the Paiute
Route, the Shoshone Route includes prime California
destinations with the best of the Southwest. As
with all routes, it can be adapted to your needs.
As shown, it is a one-way route, beginning in San
Francisco, and ending in Phoenix, Arizona. However,
it can just as easily -- time permitting -- end
in Los Angeles or San Diego, or you can close the
loop completely, returning up the coast to San Francisco. |
