Description

Day 1 Our Southwest adventure begins with a bike ride in Snow Canyon State Park, whose lava fields and petrified sand dunes have served as the dramatic backdrop in Hollywood westerns | After a gradual climb to the top of Snow Canyon, cruise downhill along burnt-orange cliffs of ancient Navajo sandstone covered with volcanic basalt | Take a dip in our hotel’s swimming pool, soak in the steaming hot tub or kick your feet up on the deck and enjoy the sound of the river.

Days 2-3 Hike in magical corners of Zion Canyon where park regulations don’t allow your Trip Leaders to accompany you—but don’t worry, your leaders provide everything you need to head out for an unforgettable day | You might choose a trek through the Narrows, winding through shallow water into the inner gorge of the Virgin River as it forges through rock in this granddaddy of all slot canyons | Small waterfalls and hanging gardens tumble down the canyon walls | Or maybe you’d like to stand atop Angels Landing, a sheer wedge of rock looming 1,500 feet above the valley, for 360-degree views | Embark on a bike ride through stunning (and car-free!) Zion Canyon—a perfect and peaceful end to your weekend getaway.

Interpretive Guides & Hiking Without Your Leaders

In Zion National Park, the National Park Service limits where you can hike when accompanied by your Trip Leaders. Your leaders will provide pre-walk briefings, maps and directions so you can explore certain trails on your own. 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 the park's regulations.
