Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Visit Zion National Park and hike to Scout Lookout, exploring its dramatic switchbacks and incredible views, then experience the iconic Virgin River Narrows as you hike to Orderville Canyon.
Walk the Navajo Loop to the famous Thor’s Hammer hoodoo in Bryce Canyon National Park – known for its crimson-coloured hoodoos (spire-shaped rock formations).
Explore the Island in the Sky section of the vast Canyonlands National Park and take in the incredible sweeping views of the Colorado river valley 1000 feet below.
Sunsets are always beautiful, but nothing can beat the colours of the Delicate Arch as the sun goes down – take your time and enjoy the unforgettable scene of Arches National Park.
Join Navajo guides on hikes through Monument Valley and Bears Ears National Monument, learning about these incredible places from an Indigenous perspective.
Is this trip right for you?
This is a hiking trip; a good fitness level will help you enjoying all included hikes and activities. We recommend you bring a pair of trekking poles to use during more strenuous hikes.
Hiking in these national parks can be hot during summer. Therefore, some of the hikes will take place very early in the morning or at sunset. Sun protection including a hat and sunscreen is a must, along with the capacity to carry at least two litres of water per person, as well as comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for hiking.

We had the best tour. By the end we were like a family and at the start we had been strangers from six different countries. We got to share our love of nature and sense of adventure while visiting amazing places we had only seen in magazines or on Tv. Would highly recommend this tour to others who like a bit of physical activity along with travel.

The Utah hiking trip was amazing. Each park had its special landscapes and trails. Bryce Canyon was my favourite, as it was so magical. I also enjoyed learning about the Navajo history. Our guide Bradley was great at showcasing all this beauty and history to the group.

I LOVED this trip hiking Utah's National Parks, the scenery was incredible! The hikes are all easy / moderate, all perfectly achievable. The trip is a good pace, I would definitely recommend the Antelope Canyon add on, that was amazing. Zion and Arches hikes were real highlights. October was a good time, not too hot. Can't recommend enough!!

The Utah trip was amazing! The landscapes were breathtaking, and the activities were fantastic. The hotel in Zion was comfortable. A farewell dinner would have been a great addition. This trip is a must-visit for everyone!

This was my first trip with Intrepid and our leader, Bradley Mahnke, made the trip memorable. If you ever get a chance to have him as a tour guide, you won’t be disappointed.
