Itinerary
Days 1-3 Las Vegas
Spend a few nights in fabulous Las Vegas ahead of your national parks adventure. Take a tour of the legendary Strip or enjoy a magnificent Cirque du Soleil show.
Days 4-5 Zion NP
Collect your car and make the 2½ hour drive to the first titan of natural wonder on this route – Zion National Park. It’s home to mighty canyons, forests and amazing ‘hanging gardens’ which cling to the sides of its cliffs. This bird-watchers paradise is also home to Californian condors.
Days 6-7 Bryce Canyon NP
Continue through Utah to Bryce Canyon, where multicoloured layers of rock – from flaming orange to the palest pink and white – form spectacular cliffs. Hike a multitude of trails or join the rangers for their late night star gazing tours.
Day 8 Bryce Canyon NP to Lake Powell
Enjoy spectacular Western scenery as you drive to Page, on the shores of Lake Powell.
Day 9 Lake Powell
A vast lake with 2,000 miles of shoreline, the water levels here fluctuate but are no less spectacular whenever you visit. Take a tour to see the remarkable and colourful Antelope Canyon and head to nearby Horseshoe Bend’s iconic U-shape created by the meandering Colorado River.
Days 10-11 Monument Valley
The famous towering red buttes and mesas of this Navajo reservation land have featured in many Western films. Take the 17 mile scenic drive past these individually named pinnacles, marveling at this incredible geological wonder.
Day 12 Monument Valley to Grand Canyon NP
Nothing can prepare you for the seemingly endless sweep of the Grand Canyon. On your first evening find a vantage point for sunset and watch as the shadows lengthen and the desert rocks appear to change colour with each passing second.
Day 13 Grand Canyon NP
Why not discover the true scale of this wonder from the air by taking a helicopter trip over, and into, the Grand Canyon. Afterwards, take a hike down into the canyon along Bright Angel Trail but remember that however far you walk down, it’s the same distance back up!
Days 14-15 Las Vegas
Return to the bright lights of Las Vegas for a final night to finish your trip in style.
Additional Options: Add on a side trip to see the stunning sandstone bridges of Arches National Park or journey into California to Death Valley National Park.
