What’s the Experience Like?
Depending on the length of your trip and the specific locations you visit, your days will likely consist of a mix of driving between locations; experiencing the parks through hikes, walking around viewpoints, taking pictures, and learning from your guide; eating at some of Utah’s best restaurants; and participating in any other activities you’ve selected for your tour like hot air ballooning or river rafting. Each day ends with a stay at a top-rated hotel with luxury accommodations.
Some of the most popular Utah national parks you can see on your tour include:
Zion National Park
Zion National Park is world famous for its red-rock canyons and stunning vistas. For the more adventurous traveler, trails like Angels Landing and The Narrows consistently make top lists of must-see hikes in the US, but the park also offers plenty of magnificent scenery from a relaxed drive along the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive.
Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon boasts the largest concentration of hoodoos anywhere in the world. Visitors can venture into the valley to walk trails such as the popular Navajo Loop that wind through the natural rock columns or enjoy the breathtaking views of the entire canyon from lookout points along the main road.
Arches National Park
Arches features unique natural stone arches carved by erosion, many of which can be easily seen from the road or by taking just a short walk. Visitors can enjoy seeing iconic formations like Delicate Arch and Balanced Rock, along with a variety of other arches, hoodoos, and natural rock formations. Our guides can direct you to the best views the park has to offer so you don’t miss out on any of the best sites in Arches National Park.
