6-Day Zion, Antelope Canyon & Grand Canyon Tour from Los Angeles to Las Vegas
Select participants and date
The coach hums awake before dawn as Los Angeles slips away and the Mojave unfurls—salt flats melting into sun-baked scrub and a sky that seems to expand with every mile. By late morning the neon of Las Vegas recedes behind you and the landscape rearranges itself into towers of red and cream: Zion’s cliffs loom like a chapter in a geology book, Bryce’s amphitheaters reveal hoodoos that point like weathered chimneys to a high, thin air. The rhythm of the trip is simple—drive, step into a different desert, breathe—and it’s designed for travelers who want maximum variety in a single week.

Adventure Tips
Pack a daypack and layers
Temperatures swing from hot desert floors to cool high-elevation rims—bring a light insulated layer and a wind shell.
Hydrate and carry snacks
Several park stops are short and services sparse—carry at least 2–3 liters of water and energy snacks for the day.
Book optional excursions early
Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley jeep rides and Grand Canyon helicopter flights sell out—reserve add-ons ahead of time.
Bring cash for local fees
Some Navajo-guided experiences and parking areas still prefer or require cash payments—carry small bills.
