Here's a proper winter warmer that whisks you off to three great cities, whose vibes range from the downright easy going to 'anything goes'. With sun-doused deserts and water-chiselled canyons, cowboy camps and California beaches also thrown into the mix, we promise one wild time.

For over 35 years, TrekAmerica has been tempting travellers away from the "package" tour approach and into the world of young, fun and exciting small group adventures for 18-38 year olds. Over the years, we have brought together a hearty group of international explorers who have criss-crossed the continent over 10,000 times. This is the world of TrekAmerica - the specialists in "off the beaten path" adventures across the Americas. So why not challenge yourself...not your budget.
