Today we will leave Las Vegas for two major national parks in Utah: Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park.

Las Vegas → Zion National Park (45 mins) → Checkerboard Mesa (25 mins) → Bryce Canyon National Park (60 mins) → Page



Zion National Park

Utah's First National Park. Follow the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Experience wilderness in a narrow slot canyon. Zion's unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors.

In the morning, we will be traveling to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend! Horseshoe bend is one of the world's top ten photographic sites! Both are places that we must take you to visit!

Lower Antelope Canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Upon arrival at the Lower Antelope Canyon, you will come off the truck and step into the desert and enter an amazing fantasy world. The tour guides will explain some geology, culture, history and insights. Walking through the sandstone walls of the Lower Antelope Canyon you will discover the magical world and immerse yourself in the tour.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend has been featured as a landmark for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon National Park, the Cities of Page AZ, Kanab UT, St George UT, and the Navajo Nation. Boundary lines are very close in some places. About nine miles downstream is where Grand Canyon National Park begins. A social media darling, Horseshoe Bend has become one of the most recognized and visited places in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Today we will be headed to the West Rim! Next, you will have the option to take a walk on the glass bridge known as the Skywalk or take a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon! Finally, we will drive to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas → West Rim (3.5 hours, optional for Skywalk and Helicopter Tour) → Hoover Dam (30 mins) → Las Vegas

The West Rim

The West Rim is the western end of the Colorado Canyon. It is a protected area of the Hualapai Indian Tribe. It is developed by investors and is not managed by the Grand Canyon National Park. It is within three hours one-way from Las Vegas. A U-shaped glass corridor, known as Skywalk was also built here for everyone to feel the height and excitement of the canyon.

West Rim Skywalk

Unparalleled views of one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders await you at Grand Canyon West on Skywalk. This breathtaking 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extends 70 feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon, giving you a clear view 4,000 feet to the Canyon floor below. There's simply no thrill like stepping out on glass thousands of feet in the air.

Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam was constructed during the Great Depression from 1931 to 1936. Upon its completion, it was the world's largest hydroelectric power station and concrete structure at the time! The purpose of the Hoover Dam is to provide hydroelectric power, water storage, irrigation, and flood control from the Colorado River. It will leave you in shock with just how powerful it is and how people were able to construct the dam without the usage of the technology that we have today.
