Spend seven days crossing deserts and cliffs from Las Vegas to the South Rim—visit Zion’s narrow canyons, Bryce’s hoodoo amphitheaters, Arches’ iconic Delicate Arch, Monument Valley’s Navajo-guided tours, and the Grand Canyon. This private, multi-day tour mixes hikes with guided drives and camping or lodge options.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bus rolls out of Las Vegas at dawn, headlights cutting across desert scrub as the first red cliffs catch the sun. Over seven days you follow that light through slot canyons and amphitheaters, stand on narrow ridgelines where wind counts the steps, and watch the Colorado River dare the cliffs to hold it back.

History
The region is rich with Native American history—Monument Valley is part of the Navajo Nation and many sites have long cultural significance and living traditions.
Conservation

Hydration and refills
Bring a 1–2L refillable water bottle — bottled water isn’t provided but there are regular comfort-stop refill opportunities.
Layer for elevation swings
Temperatures can drop quickly at higher elevations (Bryce) and heat up in desert basins; carry a warm midlayer and sun-protective clothing.
Pick your hike days
Options range from easy rim walks to strenuous Angels Landing and river hikes in the Narrows—choose based on your comfort with exposure and river footing.
Bring a sleeping bag for camping option
Sleeping bags aren’t provided—if you need one, guides will stop at a store on day one so you can purchase one.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Trails include slickrock, packed dirt and river crossings—good traction is essential.
Refillable water bottle and filter
Hydration is critical in the desert; a filter helps if you plan to top off at remote taps.
