6 days
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition; expect early mornings, short walks, and long vehicle legs—stamina for consecutive active days helps.
Leave the Strip at dawn and trade neon for canyon rims, slot canyons, alpine lakes and geyser basins. This six‑day VIP circuit from Las Vegas compresses the desert’s geological spectacle and Yellowstone’s geothermal theatre into a single, guided itinerary.
By 6 a.m. the Las Vegas Strip still slumbers; headlights stitch the highway into a silver thread and the coach pulls away toward redrock horizons. The first light hits the South Rim and the canyon opens like a carved wound in the earth — sheer cliffs, layered rock, and a Colorado River you won’t actually see from the rim but will feel in the scale of the drop. Over six days this VIP loop stitches together the Southwest’s canyons with the high‑country drama of the Tetons and the geyser basins of Yellowstone.

Days begin around 6 a.m.; pack a small headlamp and be ready at the taxi stand 10 minutes before pickup to keep on schedule.
Bottled water is provided but bring a refillable bottle and high‑energy snacks for long coach transfers and sun‑exposed overlooks.
Wear supportive, closed‑toe shoes for uneven boardwalks and short hikes — sandals are not recommended at viewpoints or in thermal areas.
Keep distance from animals and stay on designated boardwalks in geyser basins — both are protected and dangerous if ignored.
This route threads Indigenous landscapes, Mormon pioneer settlements (notably Salt Lake City), and the national‑park movement that protected these geologic and thermal features in the early 20th century.
Stay on boardwalks in thermal areas and keep distance from wildlife; these ecosystems are fragile and visitor behavior directly affects their health.
Carries water, layers, camera, and permits for quick access between stops.
