Moderate fitness: able to walk 2–4 miles a day with some elevation change and stairs.
In three packed days from Las Vegas, this guided tour delivers the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon’s hoodoos, and Zion’s Virgin River corridor. Expect long drives, early starts, included park entrances and guided access to Antelope Canyon.
Dawn pulls a cool edge across the Strip as the minivan eases away from Las Vegas — lights dimming, engines settling into a road rhythm. By midmorning the neon gives way to the Mojave’s hard-angled scrub and a long ribbon of asphalt; the landscape shifts from manufactured spectacle to geologic drama. In three compressed days the tour stages four of the West’s most photographed public lands: the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, Bryce Canyon’s amphitheaters, and the Virgin River corridor in Zion.

Luggage is limited to one main bag plus a small carry-on; temperatures swing from chilly mornings to hot afternoon desert sun so bring light insulating layers.
High elevation at Bryce and variable desert heat means you should carry at least 1–2 liters of water and electrolyte replacements for each day.
Antelope’s sandy floors and Bryce’s switchbacks are best handled in sturdy hiking shoes with good traction and ankle support.
Antelope Canyon light shafts are best mid-day; arrive with charged batteries and a dust cover — tripods may be limited on guided runs.
The route crosses lands with deep Native American histories: Ancestral Puebloan structures inspired Desert View Watchtower; the Navajo Nation manages Antelope Canyon and its cultural significance.
High visitation pressures demand Leave No Trace practices; stick to trails, pack out trash, and follow Navajo and National Park rules to protect fragile sandstone and desert flora.
Support and traction for sandy slot canyons and the steeper, rocky trails at Bryce and Zion.
Hydration in the desert and at high elevation; refilling is possible at lodges and trailheads.
