We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Our glamping accommodation features spacious, canvas-walled safari-style platform tents that blend comfort with a sense of adventure. Each tent includes simple yet thoughtful touches—a king bed, small battery-operated fans and lamps, a wood stove, a USB charging pack and an en suite bathroom. The experience is off the grid, with no electricity, air conditioning, reliable Wi-Fi or cell service. With canvas walls and doors, sounds may carry from nearby tents and chirping crickets, so we suggest packing earplugs. Please download an itinerary for more details about this unique luxury camping experience.
The National Park Service has many regulations on hiking. In Zion National Park they limit where you can hike when accompanied by your Backroads Trip Leaders. Your leaders will provide pre-walk briefings, maps and directions so you can explore certain trails on your own. In Bryce Canyon National Park, your leaders can hike with you but can’t act as “interpretive guides.” Throughout the trip, your leaders will give an orientation to the area’s flora, fauna and terrain before your hikes. Thank you for helping us cooperate with each park’s regulations.
While Backroads strives to find roadways that are quiet and off the beaten track, some routes on this trip follow heavily trafficked roads. On Day 3 everyone shuttles to avoid a busier section of our route.
