Itinerary

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, explore the area in the afternoon and spend a fun evening around the campfire for our first evening of camping in the Bryce Canyon area. On this tour, all camping equipment is provided (including sleeping bag) at a full service campground with electricity, Wi-Fi, hot showers and flush toilets.

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!

Bryce Canyon National Park - Monument Valley. Leaving Bryce Canyon, we journey past spectacular Lake Powell and can enjoy an optional visit to Antelope Canyon.
