Explore the captivating canyonlands and experience spellbinding landscapes on this unforgettable National Parks tour! You’ll start and end in Las Vegas, and overnight along the way inside Grand Canyon National Park; near Lake Powell in Page; near Bryce Canyon National Park in Bryce Canyon City; and in St. George, gateway city to Zion National Park.

You’ll stay inside the park, giving you the opportunity to see a stunning sunset over the canyon. If you miss sunset, have the chance to see a glorious sunrise! Continue to Bryce Canyon National Park and be amazed by the world’s largest collection of red, yellow, and pink rock spires called "hoodoos." They’re like nothing you’ve ever seen before! Then enjoy the beauty and peace of Zion National Park—with its massive canyon walls ascending toward the sky. Rushing streams over millions of years have carved these steep canyons and stone towers that will mesmerize you. Have time to explore the park, take a leisurely hike, or board the narrated park shuttle. But that’s not all…you’ll also take a 4-wheel drive tour of Monument Valley, one of the world’s most photographed places with its pinnacles of rock surrounded by mesas, buttes, shrubs, trees, and windblown sand and visit Navajo National Monument, and view artifacts from the villages built by the prehistoric Puebloan Ancestors that date from 1250 to 1300 AD at the Visitor Center.
