Itinerary
Day 1 - Zion & Bryce National Parks
Day 1 - Zion & Bryce National Parks
Las Vegas - Zion National Park - Bryce Canyon National Park. Our tour begins with pick up from the Palms Casino coach loading curb in Las Vegas (address in Trip Notes) at 7:15am (unless otherwise specified in your tour documentation).
We head straight out of the Nevada party town and towards Zion National Park. Cut by the Virgin River, this reserve is one of Utah's Mighty Five and is dominated by an impressive mix of white, pink and red Navajo sandstone cliffs. We will have time for hiking in the park. You could stroll around the Emerald Pools Trail, take in the Temple of Sinawaya or admire Weeping Rock. Visit the interpretive Human History museum, where you can enjoy an entertaining ranger’s talk on the patio.
After a stop here of around 2.5 hours, we move on to Bryce Canyon. This natural ampitheatre is known for its 'hoodoos', distinctive geological formations towering over the landscape. We will enjoy a BBQ lunch and explore the area in the afternoon. Our accommodation for tonight is just outside the national park, in Bryce Canyon City.
Please note: This tour has a flexible itinerary, and the below is a general guide of what you can expect on tour. Your tour guide may alter certain night stops to maximize your enjoyment; maybe you opt to visit a local event or stay longer in a certain place. The beauty of a small group tour is that the itinerary can also be adapted to suit the group’s preference! We encourage you to relax and go with the flow!
