OVERVIEW

Get ready for an epic road trip from the sunny shores of San Diego to the vibrant city of Tulsa! We'll embark on a journey through diverse landscapes, where towering mountains meet rolling hills and vast deserts give way to lush forests. Along the way, we'll discover hidden gems, marvel at natural wonders, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our adventure kicks off in San Diego, where we'll soak up the California sunshine and explore its iconic beaches. From there, we'll head east into the rugged Sonoran Desert, where towering saguaro cacti stand like silent guardians. We'll traverse the vast expanse of the Painted Desert, where vibrant hues paint the landscape like a masterpiece. And as we approach Tulsa, we'll be greeted by the rolling hills of the Ozarks, a region known for its pristine lakes and abundant wildlife.

Throughout our journey, we'll have plenty of opportunities to stretch our legs and explore the great outdoors. We'll hike scenic trails, admire breathtaking vistas, and perhaps even spot some of the incredible wildlife that calls this region home. And as we drive through charming towns and bustling cities, we'll get a glimpse into the diverse cultures and flavors that make up the heart of America.
