Full Board
Zion National Park is a truly awesome spectacle of sandstone slot canyons, lush hanging gardens, cascading waterfalls and soaring red and white cliffs in Zion Canyon, one of Utah’s most dramatic natural wonders. Begin by learning about how geologic events shaped the Grand Staircase that stretches from Bryce, through Zion, and into Grand Canyon National Park, resulting in some of the world’s most impressive rock formations. Then, choose from a variety of hiking options: the Emerald Pools Trail, which passes under the cool spray of a waterfall; Angels Landing; or the famed Narrows slot canyon.
Transfer to Bryce Canyon Lodge or Best Western Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel, stopping at Fairyland Point and strolling along the Rim Trail on the way.
Spend time exploring Bryce Canyon’s famous hoodoos, geologic masterpieces awash with wonderful rich red and orange hues. Hike into the heart of the park and learn about the geology behind this sculpted stone landscape, before taking pictures at sunset, when the rock formations are set ablaze with vibrant pinks, purples, oranges and reds. After bidding farewell to your National Geographic Expert and fellow travellers, spend a final night here.
Wind through Red Canyon to Cedar Breaks National Monument, a jaw-dropping natural amphitheatre. Then, continue to Kolob Canyons, a lesser known area of Zion National Park. From here, transfer to St. George Regional Airport for your flight to the UK.
