| Days 1, 2 Zion National Park
Departing for Las Vegas, the ruggedness of this tour starts here in Zion National Park where the hiking trails and surrounding scenery will knock you on your ear. This vacation may be the best hiking we have found- if you want… tough try Angels Landing for a rewarding experience, and if you want medium or soft then hike to the Emerald Pools. The next day on this adventure vacation is set aside for canyoneering (hiking in a river where the river is the trail) for the adventurous type. In the afternoon we will do some extreme tubing on the Virgin River. You wont want to miss it.
Day 3 Bryce Canyon National Park
We visit one of the most unique parks anywhere, Bryce Canyon- nature’s sculpture garden. Hanging out with the hoodoos, this is a strangely spectacular landscape with an explosive contrast of colors, and you’ll want your camera during this hike. Later in the day we make a splash doing some whitewater rafting down a scenic Central Utah route.
Days 4, 5 Arches National Park/ Moab
The glory rolls on as we take it to Arches National Park w/ it’s unique and unforgiving landscape. Delicate Arch is a must-see, you will wonder how Balanced Rock stays up, and Landscape Arch is simply awesome. And since we are in Moab, the mountain biking capital of the world, it might be a good idea to get a mountain bike for the day to hit the legendary Slickrock Trail. If you don’t like mountain biking you can canoe the nearby Colorado River or hit the funky downtown area. Or substitute w/ an off-road jeep, hummer, or ATV tour.
Day 6 Lake Powell
Lake Powell is the next stop, It's gorgeous super-blue and temperate water makes a dip here most refreshing. This part of the Adventure Tour at Lake Powell lets you laze on the rock beach or revitalize with a leisurely swim in the cove. We can also see the rare slot canyons on a walk-through tour of these ever-so-smooth element-sculpted formations (bring your camera).
Day 7 Grand Canyon National Park
We then make way towards the incomparable Grand Canyon. Isn’t the Grand Canyon on everyone’s list? And with good reason! Take in the majestic sunrise and sunset, hike the trails or walk around at the Rim while enjoying the breathtaking views and looking for the elusive California Condor that lives here.
Day 8 Return Las Vegas
