USA: Last minute 10-day Wild West trek

Yee-ha cowboy! It’s time to don the Stetson hat for this Wild West adventure.

Go horseback riding by day and enjoy a chuckwagon dinner at night at a cowboy camp nestled in the cactus-studded hills of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona.

Next, step back in time with a visit to the cliff dwellings at Montezuma’s Castle and discover the hidden secrets of one of America’s most ancient cultures, the Anasazi.

Death Valley and the Grand Canyon provide ancient landscapes that have to be seen to be believed, but travellers will be jolted back into the modern day with the bright lights of Las Vegas and the all-out opulence of Los Angeles.

The trip departs on November 20th, 2008, and costs £470 per person, excluding flights. Tickets can be booked at TrekAmerica.
