Zion Glamping Adventure

Welcome to Nevada! Your nature-filled glamping adventure begins in Las Vegas – the capital of glitz and glam in the heart of the desert. It’s heavily recommended that you stay an extra day or two before your trip to explore all that Sin City has to offer. Start today with a welcome meeting at 8 am sharp, followed by a drive to Zion National Park. When you arrive, head out to explore Zion Canyon with your leader, taking in the views of the surrounding red cliffs and the famous Angel's Landing. Your leader will then choose a hike based on the group’s ability and interests – maybe the Watchman Trail or the Emerald Pools. Along the way, enjoy a picnic lunch and head to your glamping resort for a unique Feature Stay experience. You’ll spend the next few nights in your western-style wagons that feature private bathrooms, comfortable beds and a fire pit. Tonight, maybe rejoin your group for an optional welcome dinner.

After breakfast, head to Bryce Canyon National Park for the day. After a scenic drive through Utah’s red rock country (with multiple stops at overlooks for good views and good photos), you’ll reach an elevation of 8000 ft (just over 2400 m) marking your entrance into the park. From here, you’ll spend the morning hiking on trails chosen by your leader, maybe with a stroll along the canyon rim to marvel at the unique sandstone spires (known as hoodoos) that rise dramatically from the natural amphitheatre. Stop for a picnic lunch with your group among the hoodoos and spires and take in the incredible alien-like landscape. Later, enjoy an included dinner back near Zion.

This morning after breakfast, head to Page where you’ll join a local Navajo guide for an adventure through Lower Antelope Canyon – famous for its wave-like structure and the distinct light beams that shine down into the canyon’s openings, creating a supernatural, magical appearance. There are fewer crowds here than in the upper part of the canyon (because you’ll have to go up and down a ladder – but don’t worry, this isn’t too strenuous), making the experience that much more special. After, take a short hike out to Horseshoe Bend and enjoy a picnic lunch with an unforgettable view over the Colorado River. Return to Zion and fill up a free afternoon with more exploring!

After breakfast, you’ll check out of your glamping tents – but don’t fret, the adventure isn't over yet. Before heading back to Vegas, you’ll do some easy hiking at Snow Canyon State Park – a scenic park often underrated by tourists but no less spectacular than Zion. Plenty of Western movies have been filmed here – think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, High School Musical 2 and The Flintstones. Sit down among the towering cliffs and red rocks for a final picnic lunch with your group, then drive back to Vegas, where your trip comes to an end. If you need extra accommodation, just speak to your booking agent.
