Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Hike through the varied landscapes of Zion National Park, taking in the views of massive canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs along the way.
Learn about the culture and history of Monument Valley during a Navajo guided tour, followed by a traditional home-cooked, family-style Navajo lunch.
Stroll along the canyon rim in Bryce Canyon National Park to see the sandstone spires known as hoodoos.
Kayak across the waters of Lake Powell, around its fascinating rock formations while your leader shares stories of the lake’s history.
Visit one of the nation’s greatest national parks – the Grand Canyon – and walk along the rim, hike into the canyon or watch epic sunset or sunrise (depending on the season).
Is this trip right for you?
This is a fast-paced trip that covers a lot of ground in a short time. You'll be travelling in a private vehicle with your group. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. It’s all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates.
The trip involves a lot of walking through Zion National Park and Bryce National Park, so be prepared with hiking shoes, a water bottle and day pack.
Lunches will be simple picnic style so maybe bring some of your own snacks if you think you’ll get hungry between meals.
You will be travelling to the desert, which means it is often very warm during the day but cold at night, so make sure you pack the appropriate clothing for all weather.
You may also want to check out our Best of Western USA if you have a longer time to explore the region. See Trip Code SSEPC on the website.

What a fantastic trip! This was my first solo trip and it was amazing. It was a group of 5 (3 of which solo) from Australia and UK. Indy was an amazing guide, he gave so much knowledge on each location and I learnt loads. The activities were so varied day to day that it was so exciting each day, and we saw loads in a short space of time! The physical requirement wasn’t too high, and the varied activities made it friendly to all. It was a trip of a lifetime and I certainly will look to do another one again. Thank you Indy!

To experience so much in 5 days was absolutely amazing!! We can't even choose our favorite stops because they were all unique & beautiful. Our small group quickly became family & our leader, Ashton, was incredible! We hope to book with her again very soon. A trip we will never forget!!

This was my first group trip, ever, and I am so glad it was an Intrepid tour! I am not a big bus tour person, so the small group format that Intrepid offers fit me perfectly. From the incredible places we visited to the incredible tour guide, I couldn’t be happier with my experiences. I’ll definitely be booking another trip soon!

Great itinerary for getting a taster of some spectacular National Parks in a short amount of time. Whatever you do, don’t skip the optional trip to Antelope Canyon!
