Days 1: Las Vegas – Zion National Park
After departing Las Vegas with your guide, cross the border into Utah and arrive at Zion National Park, where massive canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. Experience the beauty of Zion however you’d like during your time here – walks and hikes are available for every fitness level. Challenge yourself to what some consider the best half-day hike in the Southwest – the narrow ridgeline to Angels Landing, which at 1,208 feet (368 meters) tall offers the best views of Zion Canyon. Or do the Narrows, a popular hike that’ll have you walking through the river, surrounded by dramatic canyon walls (weather permitting).

More relaxed options include strolling along the Emerald Pools trail, which takes you past waterfalls and other beautiful scenery. Or discover the Temple of Sinawava, see the Great White Throne or the Weeping Rock, or visit the interpretive Human History Museum.
