Far from the average ‘drive-thru’ you might<br />
associate with America's ‘golden’ culture, on this<br />
trip you’ll do way more than sit and wait. rewrite<br />
the norm, styling your own version of a majorly<br />
epic drive through the USA - there will be some<br />
seriously spectacular scenery along the way. This<br />
trip, as the name suggests, is all about the hiking<br />
– something we love to rave about to people who<br />
have vast amounts of expendable energy built up<br />
from far too many hours sitting in stuffy lecture<br />
theatres or behind messy office desks. Lighten<br />
up your lifestyle and get that sparkle back in<br />
your eyes with some mind-blowing, extremely<br />
exhilarating and overly exciting entertainment.<br />
Hike through awesome canyon country and<br />
national parks to discover lakes, waterfalls and<br />
awesome views. With dancing in vegas and a<br />
visit to a Native American reservation, there is<br />
certainly lots of variety on this trip. Best of all,<br />
you’ll camp out most nights right in the midst<br />
of the glorious, natural American wilderness,<br />
setting you well on track for the absolute time<br />
of your life. So, just what are you active people<br />
waiting for?!<br />
