Who with:
With plenty of outdoor activity, this would be a fantastic family adventure, equally a couple could make the most of the wide-open spaces and opportunity for exploration.
When to go:
The USA’s west coast has a surprisingly diverse climate, and often proximity to the coast means a cooler breezy temperature. Generally speaking, the summers are warm with mild winters.



Glamour of Las Vegas
Start your trip in the bright lights party capital Las Vegas. Stay in style at the Four Seasons Las Vegas and head out for an American style supper at Chef David Walzog’s Steakhouse SW at the Wynn Hotel: you’ll be stuck for choice between Japanese Wagyu and grass-fed fillet. Afterwards, lose yourself in a Cirque de Soleil show or a nostalgia trip with Celine Dion.
Rise early to travel the cactus-spiked plains and craggy scenery of the iconic American highway. Take a slight detour to marvel at the architectural feat of the Hoover Dam. Aim to catch the sunset over the landscapes of mind-expanding Horseshoe Bend. Feel a tranquil sense of oneness as the glassy water darkens and the cliffs turn tangerine red.





New Levels of Zen - Amangiri
Your next stop is desert design hotel Amangiri, a property that almost seems to be hewn into cubes, out of the rock it sits alongside. The hotel takes advantage of the raw natural environment – watch the play of light as the sun tints the Colorado Plateau and shadows become works of art.
Early mornings are perfect for a peaceful canoe – glide through the narrow canyons and sheer sandstone cliffs of Lake Powell. Explore the mesmerising Antelope Canyon where you can hike ‘The Wave’ trail and walk through orange-hued sandstone ridges that have evolved from the Jurassic age. Back at Amangiri, relax fireside in your private outdoor desert lounge and gaze at one of the most unpolluted night skies in the world.






The Mountain Escape of Amangani
Your onward journey means leaving this desert paradise, in exchange for a mountain wilderness retreat. Fly into Jackson Hole and be transferred to luxury overlooking the jagged peaks of the Grand Teton range at Amangani.
Spend your day wandering through wildflowers to see the elk, moose and bears that call this all-natural environment home. In winter, snow-coated alpine scenery can be explored by with a dog sled team or on cross-country ski routes. Returning to Amangani, sink into a sunken tub overlooking the dramatic scenery or be cosseted in the spa with a massage using stones from the nearby Snake River.











Ranch Life - Welcome to Paws Up
Next up is the big one at Paws Up, Montana, via a short flight to Missoula. Paws Up Resort offers epic adventures played out in incredible scenery. Wide-open plains stretch for thousands of acres with trout and salmon-filled rivers running through it, (quite literally – the movie was filmed here).
More than a hundred snow-dusted mountain ranges surround the vast resort, which are ideal for horse safaris, jeep drives and hiking in summer through sage-scented forests. In winter, ski or sled crowd-free where the only sound is the thud of snow falling from laden fir trees.
Summary
Everyone should experience an American road trip once in their lives, and on this adventure, you will be introduced to the huge contrasts of Western America, from deserts, valleys, mountains and the thriving metropolis of Las Vegas. Go big in America for an unforgettable holiday.
