You\u2019ll start this epic 13 night trip in the iconic Las Vegas where you\u2019ll discover its famed bright lights and natural wonders, whilst holing up at the chic Mandarin Oriental. Next up you\u2019ll head into the deserts of Southern Utah where you&#8217;ll stay at the luxurious Amangiri. Here you\u2019ll take to the waters of Lake Powell and walk in the footprints of the Navajo in Monument Valley before hopping back on route east towards the Colorado Rockies. You\u2019ll be well looked after at Dunton Hot Springs where you&#8217;ll live out your wildest western dreams, \u00a0and last but certainly not least get back to basics in all American tradition in the heart of Wyoming\u2019s wilderness.<\/p>\n<h2>Live it up in Las Vegas<\/h2>\n<p>Touch down in Vegas and we\u2019ll whisk you off to the Waldorf Astoria which will be your home for the next two nights. There\u2019s much more to Las Vegas than meets the eye, although a trip to Sin City certainly wouldn\u2019t be complete without at least one trip to the infamous casinos and shows. We\u2019ll make sure you experience the incredible Mojave Desert and whisk you off on a day trip to the Valley of Fire National Park. Expect to see stunning red rock formations and over 3,000 year old Indian petroglyphs dotted across the rugged landscape. Get up close and personal with the sandy plains in a sun buggy where you\u2019ll fly across the Vegas dunes and truly get your heart pumping. Then you\u2019ll shift from the ground to the skies in an exclusive helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon and indulge in a champagne toast to the first leg of your journey with some stunning views.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Desert downtime in Utah<\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b>On day three it&#8217;s time to head off on the open road for a stunning three-hour drive to your next luxury bolthole. You\u2019ll be spending three nights in the beautiful and utterly unique Amangiri resort nestled in a protected valley on the Colorado Plateau. Heading out into Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, you&#8217;ll be accompanied by a Navajo guide, for whom these extraordinary landscapes are the heart of the earth. Be sure to keep your camera at the ready as you explore these iconic rising red buttes. Enjoy the turquoise waters of Lake Powell on a speedboat tour to the amazing natural Rainbow Bridge before heading back to the hotel for some downtime by the pool and treat yourself to one of the great spa treatments. The surrounding deserts around Amangiri offer heaps of activities, including guided Via Ferrata, where guests can mountain climb up the rock face and soak in the startling views.<\/p>\n<h2>Cruise off to Colorado<\/h2>\n<p>Head back to your trusty wheels for a scenic drive to Dunton Hot Springs, located in a romantic and whimsical old mining town in the depths of Colorado\u2019s countryside. This remote haven is yours to explore freely; whether you\u2019re after breathtaking adventure or simply some fresh air and tranquillity. Spend your days here riding high in the Rockies by horseback, finding peace with a private yoga lesson, pushing yourself to the limit on steep hikes up the surrounding peaks, navigating the river rapids on a kayak and of course taking a dip in the sensuous hot springs.<\/p>\n<h2>Luxurious lodges and action packed activities in Wyoming<\/h2>\n<p>Today you\u2019ll be saying a final farewell to your trusty vehicle as you fly from Telluride to Saratoga airport for the final five nights of your trip. Hole up at Brush Creek Ranch &#8211; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacktomato.com\/us\/experience-types\/luxury-dude-ranches\/\">luxury dude ranch<\/a> in the heart of the rolling hills of Saratoga, Wyoming. You\u2019ll be feeling at one with nature in no time; spend your days discovering the stunning trails on horseback, taking to the mountains for some adventurous rock climbing and even chill out with an outdoor yoga class on a platform overlooking the river valley. Enjoy rustic, mouthwatering dinners overlooking the Sierra Madre Mountains, and once you\u2019ve had your fill of the crisp fresh air head indoors to the saloon for some classic evening activities. Think pool tables, classic board games and even a bowling lane.<b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embark on the drive of a lifetime through the heart of Western USA with Black Tomato and discover the freedom of the open road and some of our favorite luxury lodges.
