Itinerary
3 Days Casual Plus Hotels
Day 1 Our Southwest adventure begins with biking 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.
Guest rooms at this welcoming riverside lodge have balconies overlooking the stunning red cliffs of Zion. (pool)
