Las Vegas - Zion National Park. Our tour begins with pick up from the Palms Casino coach loading curb in Las Vegas (address in Trip Notes) at 7:00 am (unless otherwise specified in your tour documentation).

Cut by the Virgin River, this reserve is one of Utah's Mighty Five and is dominated by an impressive mix of white, pink, and red Navajo sandstone cliffs.
As we get closer to Zion National Park, we will notice the towering canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs rise towards a brilliant blue sky. We will have time to hike in the park, we can leisurely explore the tranquil Emerald Pools or enjoy a river walk deep into the Zion Narrows, before heading to our camp this evening for a barbecue. On this tour, all camping equipment is provided at a full service campground with electricity, Wi-Fi, hot showers and flush toilets. You will need to provide your own sleeping bag, or can hire one for $40 per person per tour. Must be booked in advance, please let us know at time of booking.

We will also have the opportunity to descend into the hoodoos for an exhilarating up-close encounter with this captivating landscape.
Later we can soak in the outdoor hot tub back at our camp, which will soothe our muscles, and enjoy a cosy evening around the campfire.

The rest of today and day 4 are flexible, but we will spend them exploring Canyonlands and nearby Arches National Park, two more of Utah's Mighty Five. In Canyonlands, we'll enjoy exhilarating walks to see where the Green River meets the Colorado River amidst some of the most breathtaking scenery the Southwest has to offer. We will also be able to enrich our history of the Southwest with tales of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid who used the canyons to hide from the law in the late 1800s. We can also visit the local town of Moab and take in all that Utah's adventure capital has to offer.
Arches National Park is renowned for its stunning natural arches and rock formations.
