1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

This classic California route connects three of the American West's most iconic destinations. Death Valley National Park is the hottest and driest place in North America, drawing visitors for its dramatic desert landscapes of salt flats, sand dunes, and colourful badlands. Yosemite National Park is world-famous for its sheer granite cliffs, including El Capitan and Half Dome, along with giant sequoias and thundering waterfalls. San Francisco rounds out the journey with its legendary Golden Gate Bridge, vibrant neighbourhoods, and a renowned food and culture scene — making this route a favourite for travellers seeking a mix of epic wilderness and urban exploration.

Self-Launched Death Valley, Yosemite & San Francisco (Las Vegas to San Francisco)

A 4-day self-launched run from Las Vegas through Death Valley and Yosemite to San Francisco, recreated without the $1,346 group tour price tag. You'll drive yourself (shared rental car with a fellow traveller, or a Turo hire split two ways) or take a mix of public transport and self-booked day trips. Note: this is a US national-parks route, so real costs skew high — park entry, fuel, and Yosemite-area lodging are the big fixed costs. Estimated spend is roughly £480–£560 per person for four days excluding flights, versus ~£1,060 for the operator version. Book park passes in advance at recreation.gov, secure Yosemite lodging early (it sells out months ahead), and be ready to hike.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Death Valley, Yosemite & San Francisco, USA yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
