Each of the tours offered by Utah Luxury Tours is designed to help you discover some of the most incredible national parks, state parks, and other outdoor destinations the U.S. has to offer. You’ll visit all of Utah’s national parks on The Mighty 5® Tour. On The Yellowstone & Grand Teton Tour, you’ll see the geysers and wildlife of Yellowstone and the snow-covered peaks and alpine lakes of Grand Teton.
But the destinations you’ll explore each day of your tour are only the beginning. You’ll also spend your evenings staying in luxurious, unique lodging options. On a few of our tours, the lodging is a central part of the tour itself. This is certainly the case with The Cougar Ridge Experience.
The Cougar Ridge Experience
The Cougar Ridge Experience is a 7-day tour for up to 8 guests. This tour kicks off at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. Your personal tour guide will be there to greet you and kick off the start of your tour.
Your first full day will be spent exploring Zion National Park. Splash through the Narrows, hike to the challenging peak of Angels Landing, or enjoy a more relaxing stroll along Weeping Rock Trail. Fill up with a delicious meal at a local restaurant, called Spotted Dog, before spending your evening relaxing at Cliffrose Springdale, a Curio Collection by Hilton.
That will be your only evening in Springdale. The next day, you’ll head to Bryce Canyon National Park to see its famous hoodoos, before retiring to this tour’s namesake; Cougar Ridge.
The rest of your tour will include a full day of exploring Capitol Reef National Park, a scenic air tour of Arches and Canyonlands National Park, and a full day to enjoy all that Cougar Ridge has to offer. And when you find out just how much there is to do in and around this unique resort, this will no doubt be the day that you’re most looking forward to on your trip! You can go off-roading, fly fishing, canyoneering, or relax and enjoy some of the resort’s other amenities and activities, like massages, indoor golf, or even an interactive class.
