USA 2022, 14 Days adventure

This USA event was held during August 2022.  This was my last 14 days US event and the best one of all. 

This was a road trip to remember covering 6 National Parks ( including - Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Sequoia & Zion),  across 4 states (California, Arizona, Utah & Nevada) and 6 different accommodation locations. There was 9 hiking days and this includes the infamous Half Dome hike up in the granite mountains of Yosemite, trails through giant Sequoia & Redwood trees and hot hard hike down to the base of the Grand Canyon. 22 members attended, the photos below are from them. Big thanks to Jason, Andy and Fiona for driving the entire journey.
