What's this trip about?

    Have you always wanted to road trip through America's canyon country? Picture this: your favorite song's playing, the windows are down, and you're driving past vast landscapes of striking red rocks and soaring mountains. Life feels like a movie, and every picture looks like a postcard.  Hike through the unique hoodoo rocks of Bryce Canyon National Park, visit Arches National Park near Moab, and trek through San Juan National Forest near Cortez, Colorado. You'll also have the freedom to visit nearby favorites, like Zion National Park, and Page, Arizona, known as home to Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, and Horseshoe Bend. Your journey will bring you to the one and only Grand Canyon, where you'll be free to explore the South Rim at your leisure. Soak up the beauty of this Wonder of the World before heading back to Vegas for your final nights. Go out on the Vegas Strip, test your luck at a casino, or treat yourself to a dazzling show! If you'd prefer to continue exploring nature, you can take quick road trips to Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Mojave, and more.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Las Vegas!

Bright lights, buzzing casinos, and vibrant entertainment awaits! Explore the magical Las Vegas Strip, where you can treat yourself to a fantastic dinner. You might want to spend the rest of your evening in a casino. Unwind with a cocktail, play some slots, or see a show!

Day 2 Las Vegas - Bryce Canyon National Park

There's nothing like waking up in Vegas! This morning, you'll take a scenic 4-hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park. Get ready to go from dazzling lights to vibrant red rocks. Check into your hotel, then put on your hiking shoes and explore! Stand in awe of the "hoodoos" that fill Bryce Canyon. These tall, thin spires of rock create an otherworldly landscape.

Day 3 Bryce Canyon National Park

Rise and shine! You've got a full day to explore Bryce Canyon National Park. Fill your water bottle, lace up your sneakers, and don't forget your camera!  Be sure to check out the Navajo Loop Trail, Queens Garden Trail, and the Fairyland Loop Trail. Take postcard-worthy photos from Bryce Point and Inspiration Point!

Day 4 Bryce Canyon National Park - Moab

Today, you'll take a 4-hour journey to Moab. Nearby, you'll find Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Treat yourself to a meal on Main Street and find a spot to watch the sunset over the mountains. 

Day 5 Moab - Cortez

On the way to Cortez, Colorado, you'll pass stunning landscapes and small towns. Feel free to stop, or make the 2-hour drive in one shot. Upon arrival, check into your Cortez hotel. Then, get out and explore! Venture out to the Rio Grande National Forest, or discover the beauty of nearby Mesa Verde National Park. 

Day 6 Cortez - Grand Canyon Village

Today, you'll embark on a 4.5-hour drive to the one and only Grand Canyon! Along the way, you might want to stop in Page, Arizona. There, you can see Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, and Horseshoe Bend - all great photo-ops!

Day 7 Grand Canyon Village

A full day in Grand Canyon National Park is a dream come true. Feel your jaw drop as you come face-to-face with one of the Wonders of the World. If you wake up early enough, you can catch a stunning sunrise in the park. You'll likely be sticking to the South Rim, so check out the popular Rim Trail or Bright Angel Trail.

Day 8 Grand Canyon Village - Las Vegas

Today, you'll wave goodbye to the Grand Canyon. On your way back to Las Vegas, consider spending a few hours at Zion National Park in southern Utah. Known for its spectacular scenery, Zion is a must-see when visiting America's canyon country.

In the evening, settle into your Las Vegas hotel. Relax in your room, unwind at a cocktail bar, or party it up at a casino!
