Utah National Parks Multi-Adventure

Today offers a thrilling day of whitewater rafting on the Colorado River! Follow Westwater Canyon past red sandstone spires as it deepens into narrow Black Granite Gorge and tackle Class III and IV rapids such as Funnel Falls, Last Chance, The Steps, and the infamous Skull Rapid! Perfect for adventure seekers and canyon lovers, all equipment is provided, and no previous experience is required. Enjoy a riverside picnic lunch. Late this afternoon we depart Moab and drive to our accommodations near Capitol Reef National Park.

This morning we journey into the rugged terrain of Capitol Reef National Park. Capitol Reef is the most remote National Park in Utah offering visitors not only dramatic desert scenery but also serenity and solitude due to its light visitation. We will spend the morning hiking the Grand View Wash Trail along the upper portion of the Waterpocket Fold. Following our hike we drive two and a half hours to our overnight accommodations in Bryce Canyon National Park. After dinner we are joined by an astronomer for a special stargazing experience. The Utah desert's predictable weather, low humidity and dark night skies make it the perfect location for viewing the Milky Way Galaxy, millions of stars, recognizable constellations and even some far off galaxies millions of light years away.

Words cannot describe the sweeping views from the rim of Bryce's amphitheater, the starting point for the hike along the rim trail to Sunset Point. Descend into this wild land of rock, through a surreal maze of pink hoodoos, spires and rock windows. After exploring this otherworldly landscape, we have a scenic drive to Zion National Park. This evening, we hike the Emerald Pools Trail in Zion National Park taking in the views of Red Arch Mountain, Lady Mountain and the colorful cliffs in every direction.

Meet your private MT Sobek guide this morning for a full day bottom-up hike in the Narrows of Zion National Park. On this spectacular slot canyon hike, you will walk along the banks and in the Virgin River to the narrowest section of Zion Canyon. Your feet will get wet, so your day will begin with proper outfitting for the hike. You will be outfitted with special footwear, neoprene socks, a hiking pole and a dry day pack. During the colder weather months dry suits are also available. We will stop mid-day for a riverside picnic lunch. This evening, we celebrate our journey will a farewell dinner in Springdale.

After breakfast we depart for Las Vegas to catch afternoon homebound flights.
