Overview
An enchanting, energizing, and efficient day tour to two of the Southwest’s most spectacular national parks awaits you, departing from Las Vegas and taking care of all transport in between!
This exceptional guided tour grants you entry to the breathtaking and otherworldly Bryce Canyon National Park as well as the sensationally beautiful Zion National Park, two of Utah’s most spellbinding treasures.
Along the route, discover the spectacular scenery of the Mojave Desert, Virgin River Gorge, and St. George, criss-crossing three states!
Your day tour kicks off in lively Las Vegas, where the bus will pick you up for the day’s awe-inspiring adventure! You’ll travel through the magnificent Mojave Desert as you head north through Nevada, the stunning Silver State, passing by Mesquite before entering the spellbinding embrace of the Virgin River Gorge of Northwestern Arizona. This spectacular canyon, carved from rushing waters, is a dramatic taster of what lies ahead on your dynamic day tour.
Soon, you’ll cross the border into Utah and glide through the gorgeous region of St. George, nicknamed ‘Utah’s Dixie’ and famed for its favorable weather.
The first stop on your sensational day tour is the breathtaking Bryce Canyon National Park, an otherworldly landscape that might have you thinking you’ve landed on Mars! Stepping out of the bus, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable experience as you gaze out over the spectacular hoodoos, phenomenal fins, and praiseworthy plateaus from the rims of the park’s natural amphitheaters.
Notice how the colored bands of rock blend into a rust-colored rainbow and see how well you can capture the variation in hues in your photographs - you’ll be able to see burnt orange, dusky rose, and every shade of orange in between! These bands create an entrancing visual that’s as beautiful as it is geologically educational.
Nature lovers will be fascinated by the Ponderosa Pines that can be found in Bryce, known for emanating a rich butterscotch aroma from their bark. Along your leisurely hike through the park, you’ll also pass under the shadow of grand Alpine Furs, Elderberries, and Junipers, all alive with intriguing birdsong.
Back on the bus, it’s another 90 minutes of splendid Utah scenery before you reach the second treasure of your day tour - Zion National Park. Your first stop is the mesmerizing Checkerboard Mesa, an incredible geological phenomenon that gives a hint of the awe-inspiring geological majesty that lies further on in the park.
As you venture on, you’ll travel through Zion’s famous tunnel and discover breathtaking views of the canyon’s south side, admiring the astonishing scale of the orange cliffs that tower above your head. This is one of the best national parks in the entire USA for adventure-seekers, and it’s no wonder why!
Before setting off back home, your bus tour will make a brief stop at the Zion National Park Visitor Center, allowing you the opportunity to purchase terrific souvenirs of your day tour. Then, it’s back on the bus for the relaxed return journey to Las Vegas, carrying you once again through some of the Southwest’s finest scenery.
