Your Day to Day Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive Las Vegas
Arrive into Las Vegas and transfer to our overnight hotel. You are then free to explore the famous Las Vegas strip. Clients will not meet their leader until the following morning.
Day 2 – Zion National Park
An early start around 7.30am for our journey of discovery! Please have eaten breakfast and checked out by this time. Also, please have your passport and insurance information available for some last minute pre departure paperwork. Once we have the entire group we will drive to Zion National Park. The drive to Zion is approx 3 hours.
Day 3 - Zion National Park
We spend two days exploring this beautiful park and its high plateaus and narrow deep canyons. The tree-lined Virgin River supports fragile flora and fauna as it meanders below massive, cathedral-like, sandstone walls soaring several thousand feet into the sky. With its soaring cliffs and cascading waterfalls, Zion National Park is one of the Southwest's most beautiful and dynamic places. There is a variety of trails to choose from and you will have plenty of opportunities to explore. Warm up with a gentle walk to Lower Emerald pool and then continue on to the sparkling Upper Emerald pools, passing a waterfall along the way to discover Zion's "beach." If you are feeling ambitious, enjoy the park's most famous challenge, Angel's Landing, (not suitable if you have vertigo!) and after a beautiful but strenuous hike along the knife-edge ridgeline, you will be rewarded with one of the most breathtaking, powerful panoramas you will ever experience. There are more leisurely walks available and your leaders will give you all the options.
Day 4 - Bryce Canyon National Park
"Mysterious", "breathtaking", "out of this world", are only a few of the descriptions offered by past visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park. We drive the short way to Bryce (approx 2 hours), home to the famous spiral pillars of rock, known as Hoodoos. The landscape is unique and truly stunning. As at Zion there are a wide range of walks available to suit all abilities. There is also the option to horse ride.
Day 5 - Monument Valley
After breakfast we start the long drive to Monument Valley (approx 6 hours) but it is well worth the journey. The park is owned by the Navajo Native Americans and has been used as a backdrop for many films including John Wayne films, Back to the Future 3 and many adverts and music videos. The imposing red mesa are awe-inspiring, the tallest is 300m high. There is an optional jeep trip into the park where your leader will be a local Navajo guide
Day 6 & 7 - Grand Canyon National Park
You will have a whole day free to explore this incredible natural spectacle, there is an easy flat walk along the rim of the canyon or if you would like a more strenuous walk there are many trails down into the canyon. There are plenty of other activities available i.e. helicopter flights and horse rides. In the evening there is a stunning IMAX film of the canyon.
Day 8 - Return to Las Vegas
In the morning we will leave the Grand Canyon and drive 5 - 6 hours back to Las Vegas. We will pass the Hoover Dam en route. Those clients who are land only will leave the group on our return to Las Vegas. We aim to arrive in Las Vegas by 1800.
Day 9/10 - Return UK
Pick up any last minute souvenirs, and then it’s on to the airport and our return overnight flight back to the UK. Please note this morning will be on your own, a tour leader will not be available
