Each moment, sunlight alters the vermilion palette of Bryce Canyon, Zion and the Grand Canyon, continually repainting the mountaintops and rocky canyon mazes. Dramatic vistas of pine and juniper forests, petrified sand dunes, sculpted hoodoos and river-chiseled gorges set the scene for our easygoing multisport journey. Time spent in each park allows you to explore the high desert landscape as much or as little as you'd like. Hike past spires and pinnacles in Bryce, contemplate the humbling vastness of the Grand Canyon, and follow a path as it snakes up the side of a cliff in Zion. With campsites perched on canyon rims and under the cool canopy of towering pines, you'll truly feel the majesty and awesome power of this spectacular setting.
