Arizona-Utah: Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion

Our home state of Arizona and northern neighbor Utah are superb destinations for spring and fall hiking, and our Arizona-Utah hiking tour to the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion is one highlight after the next at the most spectacular National Parks in the US Southwest. This tour is lodge-based, spending one night in Flagstaff, one night at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and two nights apiece at Bryce and Zion National Parks. Each day we'll enjoy some of the finest hiking in the Southwest on our scenic hour dayhikes.
Meeting in Flagstaff, Arizona, we'll split out time at 3 gorgeous inns near each park, taking memorable dayhikes each day. Colorful spires, hidden waterfalls, narrow canyons and soaring rock walls make every day a highlight. Our typical day starts with breakfast at our hotel. Soon we'll be out on the trail, exploring each of these parks in depth. Each morning, you'll be handed a lunch to carry, and at a mid-point along the way we'll choose a beautiful spot to stop and enjoy our picnic. We should finish our hike around 4 pm, giving you time to wash up, relax, or perhaps do a bit of shopping in town. After that, we'll enjoy dinner together at our hotel or another local restaurant, often local southwest specialties and always delicious!
