Itinerary - The final itinerary may change due to weather or any unforeseen circumstance(s).

Day 1:
Depart Las Vegas at 10am and head north. Climbing out of the Mohave Desert you will travel through an impossible canyon with towering igneous walls, and to the edge of the Colorado Plateau. Taking a few stops on the way you will arrive at Zion in time for an afternoon in the park. Enjoy a hike or some sightseeing, and as the day comes to a close you'll find yourself in the quaint town of Springdale, just outside the park for a relaxing stay.(L) (D)

Day 2:
Today allows for a great hike, and lots of exploring in Zion National Park. We will depart late afternoon for the incredibly scenic drive through Long Valley, along the Sevier River, and eventually to Bryce where we will have a chance to see the sunset over the canyon. A stunning and unique geologic display highlighted by evening hues. We stay in the area for dinner and sleep. (B)(L)(D)

Day 3:
A day of hiking through Hoodoos and towering arches gives you a memorable experience at Bryce Canyon National Park before traveling on to your final destination. After this fantastic park experience you will travel onward to the North Rim of Grand Canyon for a sunset walk on the rim, and a cocktail on the porch overlooking the canyon. This is where you lay your head. (B)(L)(D)

Day 4:
Spend the full day on a long hike and/or fully explore the beauty of the North Rim. There are dozens of incredible viewpoints, and rim trails all from the shade of the pines, and a spectacular patio to rest and relax for a breathtaking sunset overlooking the canyon. We will enjoy our final dinner here, and stay another night.(B)(L)(D)

Day 5:
An early start gives you the opportunity to check out one last trail, or view from the North Rim before departing by mid-day to Las Vegas. The drive takes you down off of the plateaus, and back into the Mohave Desert returning to the Las Vegas Strip, or airport by 4pm. (B)(L)

For groups of 4 or more customize your trip. Add a couple of days for a 2 night stay in Escalante, before heading to the North Rim of Grand Canyon
