Spring is here, and we've got a great deal on a couple of upcoming trips. Grab a friend and take advantage of two-for-one on the fare for either our April 3-6 Yosemite National Park trip, or our April 12-18 Western Roadrunner adventure. The discount is on the fare only (everyone pays the full food fund), and is available for a limited time. Read on, or call or write to us for more information (see the "Adventure Travel" link at the top of the page). In order to qualify, you must mention any discount at the time of booking, and discounts are good for new bookings only.
On April 3, we depart for our first Yosemite trip of 2009. Though any time is a good time to see Yosemite, spring is unique for a couple of reasons. First, there are no crowds! The park seems (and is) extra quiet. You might even have a trail to yourself! Air quality is at it's best, so photos come out extra-clear! Signs for spring are everywhere, from chirping birds to the drip-drip-drip of small cascades throughout the park. This weekend, the weather forecast calls for clear, sunny skies, so why not join us for a refreshing, renewing, springtime adventure? The trip starts Friday night (April 3) and ends Monday morning (April 6). The price for two (which includes transportation, entrance and camping fees, and breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday) is just $231!

On April 12, our first Western Roadrunner trip of the season starts. This one's a new one for the Green Tortoise (2008 was the first run), and it packs quite a lot into just one week. Highlights include Pinnacles National Monument, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, and Death Valley National Parks, and a night out in Vegas. The trip ends with a spectacular drive up the California Big Sur coast. This trip starts Sunday morning (April 12) and ends Sunday evening (April 18). The price for two, which includes transportation, entrance and camping fees, and 2/3 of your meals, is just $629!

Highlights of both of these trips (and all Green Tortoise adventures) include great hiking and photo opportunities, spectacularly scenic drives, gourmet, group-prepared meals, camp nights, and best of all--a bunch of new friends to share in your adventure (or your own friend if you grab our two-for-one special).
We hope to see you on the bus!
