Arizona & Utah: Bryce, Zion & The Grand Canyon
Here's the ultimate Southwest "Grand Slam!" With its sheer walls of red rock, hundreds of plunging waterfalls, and narrow slot canyons, Zion Canyon has been called a "Yosemite dressed in red." Neighboring Bryce Canyon, smaller but no less spectacular, is a fairytale amphitheater of rock formations and pink "hoodoos" (pinnacles), perhaps the most unusual display of erosional forms on earth. And to the south, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon boasts breathtaking vistas that go undiscovered by most visitors to this natural wonder.
These gems of our national park system receive many visitors, but few hike the more remote and out-of-the-way trails like we do! Expert naturalist guides ensure you see the best there is to see, while stone-and-timber lodges set in stunning remote locations are oases of comfort and tranquility after an active day of exploring.
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
- World-class hiking in one of the most stunning landscapes in the world
- Explore three famous national parks, plus Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument
- Pamper yourself in comfortable lodges - no camping!
