ITINERARY

Arrive St. George, Utah
Arrive in St. George, where sunlit red rock cliffs and wide desert skies create a striking introduction to southwestern Utah. A transfer is included to your resort in Ivins, set amid black lava fields and sandstone ridges at the edge of Snow Canyon. This evening, join your Tauck Director and fellow travelers for a welcome reception and dinner.

Snow Canyon & Windhorse Wisdom
This morning unfolds amid the quiet beauty of Snow Canyon State Park. Rust-colored cliffs rise above ancient lava flows, and winding roads reveal a landscape shaped by time and elements. With a local guide, explore scenic viewpoints and enjoy short walks through this lesser-visited corner of the Southwest. Later, a visit to Windhorse Wisdom offers a more personal connection to the land. Through guided interaction with American mustangs, gain insight into their instincts and the subtle communication that exists between horse and human. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure.

To Bryce Canyon National Park
Leaving the desert behind, the journey climbs gradually into higher elevations, with forests and open plateaus replacing the arid terrain of the south. A scenic stop along the way offers a first look at the region's distinctive rock formations. Bryce Canyon reveals itself in dramatic fashion – an immense natural amphitheater filled with thousands of hoodoos in varying shades of red, orange, and white. Time along the rim provides changing perspectives as light and shadow move across the formations. Continue to Clear Sky Resorts, set just beyond the park in a wide-open landscape designed for uninterrupted views of the surrounding desert and night sky. Your glass-domed accommodations invite the outdoors in, offering a distinctive way to experience this remarkable setting. After dinner, step outside for guided stargazing beneath exceptionally dark skies, where the brilliance of the stars becomes part of the experience.

Exploring Bryce from more angles
Today brings a different perspective on the region's landscapes. Kodachrome Basin State Park offers wide-open views punctuated by tall sandstone spires, standing in quiet contrast to Bryce's dense formations. In Willis Creek, the scale shifts dramatically. A guided walk leads into a narrow slot canyon, its smooth, curving walls rising close on either side – an intimate and unexpected landscape shaped by water over time. The afternoon offers a choice to ride on horseback through rugged backcountry terrain or remain at leisure to enjoy the peaceful setting of your resort. This evening, join us for dinner and a cultural presentation that adds further depth to your experience of the region.

Zion National Park
The road to Zion winds through striking terrain before descending into one of the Southwest's most iconic landscapes. Towering sandstone cliffs rise dramatically above the canyon floor, their scale becoming more impressive with every turn. A private tram excursion follows the Virgin River through the canyon, offering a relaxed introduction to Zion's geology and natural features. Later, enjoy free time in Springdale, with the surrounding cliffs taking on warm tones in the late afternoon light.

Explore Zion your way
A full day in Zion allows for a more personal experience of the park. Join a guided e-bike ride for a closer look at the canyon, or explore independently, choosing from a range of scenic walks and viewpoints, or exploring more in the heart of Springdale. Moments of stillness are as memorable as the views – whether along the river, beneath the canyon walls, or simply taking in the vastness of the landscape. This evening, gather for a farewell reception and dinner.

Journey home
Tour ends: St. George, Utah. A transfer is included from Hotel DeNovo Springdale to St. George Airport or Las Vegas Airport. Please allow a minimum of two hours for flight check-in.
