We start this fantastic trip by picking up you and your fellow Adventurers in Salt Lake City. 

We'll prep you for your adventure and then enjoy a comfortable journey to our first national park. You may choose to sleep in a bus bed, in a tent, or out under the stars. (Tents and sleeping pads will be provided)

Day 2

Zion National Park...

The towering red sandstone walls of Zion are magnificent! Hike the world famous Narrows, a river walk through the canyon, the Emerald Pools past waterfalls, or the magnificent Angel’s Landing Trail for a panoramic view of the canyon. We'll continue our journey to cookout and camp just outside of our next great destination. Once again choose to sleep on the bus, in a tent, or under the stars.

 

Day 3

Bryce Canyon National Park...

Almost out of a fairy tale, it's nothing like you've ever seen. Spend the day among the “HooDoos”, by hiking the Navajo Loop and Queen’s Garden Trails, or stare at the maze of ancient sandstone spires from the rim of the canyon. Later, enjoy a short drive to Coral Pink Sand Dunes for a cookout and a sunset stroll among the dunes, before our overnight drive to Grand Canyon! .

 

Day 4

Grand Canyon National Park...

You'll never forget the serene beauty of North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park! Lazily Enjoy breathtaking views while strolling along the rim of this vast canyon. Hike into the canyon to the Supai Tunnel, or take an optional mule ride down into this 'erosion gone wild'! ($75 half day recommended) A night drive will deliver us to Monument Valley. 


 

Day 5

Monument Valley...

Wake to an  incredible sunrise among the famous mesas and buttes of Monument Valley.  After a tasty southwestern style breakfast, take a Navajo guided jeep tour to see the monuments up close. We'll continue on to Moab, where we will take a dip in a secret swim hole! Later, we’ll stroll into town for dinner at the Moab Brewery. Choose to sleep on the bus, tent, or under the stars for the next two nights.

 

Day 6

Arches National Park...

Spend the day hiking among giant natural sandstone arches sculpted by wind and time in the Devil’s Garden. There is no other place like this in the world! Later we’ll cool off in a swim hole or pool, toast some marshmallows around the campfire, or sample the brews of Moab!

 

Day 7

Free Day Moab, Utah...

Raft the Colorado, mountain bike, horseback ride, rent a jeep, try your hand at canyoneering, or relax and shop in Moab for the day. ($20-$80). We’ll assist you in setting up your day’s adventure by recommending reliable companies. In the evening, we recommend taking a sunset tour into Moab’s beautiful outback on the unique UniMog. ($35) An overnight drive will take us to a campground an hour outside of Salt Lake City.

 

Day 8

We'll roll back into Salt Lake City by noon, and say our goodbyes.
