USA West Coast 10N is a ten-night holiday across three bases: San Francisco, Yosemite and Las Vegas. It suits couples and friends who want a city stay, a national park and a Las Vegas break in one trip. Each base has at least three nights, so you check in and out only three times.
Days one to four are in San Francisco, where you explore the city at your own pace and plan the drive. On day five you travel to Yosemite, and days six and seven are spent in the park area. Day eight takes you on to Las Vegas, where days nine and ten give you two full days before departure on day eleven.
Outside San Francisco, a rental car is often the easiest way to explore, and intercity public transport can be limited in the West. Your planner confirms how the drives between bases are arranged. Flights are not included, visa assistance is included, and visa fees are separate. Plan your dates with our USA travel guide, best time to visit the USA and things to do in the USA.
Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.
Arrive at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or your planned airport, and travel to your hotel. Check in and rest after the journey. Keep the first evening light, so you are ready for the city days ahead. Your planner confirms the arrival arrangements.
Spend the day exploring San Francisco at your own pace. Public transit, rideshares and taxis cover the city. Choose a few sights rather than many, so you keep time for walking and rest. Confirm opening times for any attraction before you go.
Explore a different district of San Francisco and keep a free afternoon for rest. Plan the day around the city's transit options. Your planner advises whether any attraction needs a timed entry booked in advance.
Use this day to collect your rental car and plan the drive to Yosemite. Outside major cities a rental car is often the easiest way to explore, and intercity public transport can be limited in the West. Confirm the car and drive arrangements in your quote, and keep the evening light.
Leave San Francisco for Yosemite National Park. Your planner confirms the drive and your Yosemite stay in the written itinerary. Check park access and entry details before you travel. Check in and enjoy an easy evening in the park area.
Spend a full day in Yosemite National Park. Check park access and road conditions before you set out, and plan your walks and viewpoints for the day. Fall is especially popular for national parks, while summer suits high-country parks.
Use this second day in Yosemite for a different area of the park, or for rest. Check the weather before you set out, since wildfire smoke can affect the West. Confirm the plan with your planner the evening before.
Leave Yosemite in the morning for Las Vegas. Your planner confirms the travel arrangements and the route. Check in at your Las Vegas hotel, rest after the journey and keep the evening light. Summer heat can be strong, so plan rest breaks.
Spend the day on Las Vegas, one of the top attractions in the USA. Plan indoor time in the hottest hours, because heat waves are common in summer in the Southwest. Confirm entry, show and transport details with your planner before you book.
Keep this day flexible for a show, dining or rest. Confirm any entry tickets and opening times before you go. Use taxis or rideshares for longer journeys, and plan the return to the hotel before the evening.
