Meeting and PickupAfter departing Las Vegas with your guide, cross the border into Utah and arrive at Zion National Park, where massive canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. Experience the beauty of Zion however you’d like during your time here – walks and hikes are available for every fitness level. Challenge yourself to what some consider the best half-day hike in the Southwest – the narrow ridgeline to Angels Landing, which at 1,208 feet (368 meters) tall offers the best views of Zion Canyon.
Or do the Narrows, a popular hike that’ll have you walking through the river, surrounded by dramatic canyon walls (weather permitting).
More relaxed options include strolling along the Emerald Pools trail, which takes you past waterfalls and other beautiful scenery. Or discover the Temple of Sinawava, see the Great White Throne or the Weeping Rock, or visit the interpretive Human History Museum.
After breakfast, enjoy a short drive from Zion to Bryce Canyon National Park, also in Utah. Stroll along the canyon rim and marvel at the park’s unique sandstone spires – known as hoodoos – that rise dramatically from the natural amphitheater. Stay up on top to enjoy the panoramic views, or hike down into the hoodoos for an up close experience of this fascinating and unique landscape.
After breakfast travel to Arches National Park, home to over 2,000 natural stone arches. You'll take a hike up to Delicate Arch, the most recognized freestanding natural arch at 65-foot (20 meter) tall.
Next head to Canyonlands National Park located near Moab, Arizona. Here you'll enjoy colorful landscapes which were formed by the Colorado and Green Rivers. Listen to stories of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid who used the canyons to hide from law in the late 1800s and visit Moab, the adventure capital of Utah. Take an optional sunset Hummer tour and see the desert landscape come to life, or an optional canyoneering adventure and explore the sandstone cliffs.
On this day you'll have more time to explore Arches National Park on your own.
Or spend more time at Canyonlands. the option is up to you on how you would like to spend this day.
Enjoy breakfast, and then hop in the minibus for the drive past Lake Powell to one of the country’s most iconic locations – Monument Valley. Home to red rock formations that rise dramatically from the stark land, Monument Valley has been the background for many western movies over the years and is home to the Navajo Native Americans. Explore the valley on an offroad Jeep tour led by a local Navajo guide. When the sun goes down, gaze up at the sky and be awed by the number of stars you can see without any city lights.
After breakfast and a short visit to a Navajo trading post in the morning, enjoy an optional visit to Antelope Canyon, the world's most famous slot canyon, followed by a scenic walk to see Horseshoe Bend before traveling to the Grand Canyon!
Follow the mighty Colorado River through the Painted Desert to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Have options for seeing the park: stroll along the rim at sunset, take a hike deep into the canyon, or soak in the views from one of the rim-side cafes. For an additional expense, you can take a thrilling helicopter ride over the canyon, which allows you to take in bird’s-eye views of Kaibab National Forest, the Colorado River and many of the canyon’s famous ridges and formations, such as the Dragon's Corridor.
Say goodbye to the Grand Canyon and drive a bit on Route 66 as you make your way back to Las Vegas, arriving with time to hit the pool before heading out for a night on the town.
