From LA: 6-Day Tour to Lower Antelope and Grand Canyon

Exploring Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon on Day 2

Day 2 kicks off with a 45-minute visit to Zion National Park, Utah’s first national park. Here, visitors follow pathways where native peoples and pioneers once walked amid massive sandstone cliffs that reach into the sky. The guide explains the geology and history behind the cream, pink, and red rock formations. The stop offers a snapshot of Zion’s grandeur, but with only 45 minutes, it’s a quick overview rather than a deep exploration.

After Zion, the group heads to Bryce Canyon National Park for about one hour. Famous for its “hoodoos”—tall, thin spires of rock—the park’s unique landscape is a highlight of Utah’s scenic parks. Travelers see the distinctive formations and learn about the park’s geological features. The overnight stay in Bryce provides a chance to rest before another busy day of sightseeing.

Visiting Canyonlands and Arches in Utah’s Red Rock Country

Day 3 introduces the colorful landscapes of southeastern Utah with stops at Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park. The group spends about one hour at Canyonlands, exploring the rugged canyons carved by erosion. This site offers impressive views of the gorge-filled terrain and is a favorite for photography.

Following this, the tour continues with a 2-hour scenic drive through Arches National Park, home to more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches. The guide highlights iconic formations such as the Delicate Arch and provides insights into the geological processes that created them. Visitors can expect to see red-hued rock formations and learn about the park’s natural beauty. The full afternoon at Arches allows for a more leisurely exploration if desired.

Monument Valley and Horseshoe Bend: Iconic Landmarks of the Southwest

Day 4 features Monument Valley, known for its towering sandstone buttes that reach up to 1,000 feet. The 120-minute visit includes an optional Jeep tour (additional fee) that takes visitors closer to these iconic formations. The Navajo Tribal Park offers a vast, striking landscape that has appeared in countless movies and photographs.

Later, the group visits Horseshoe Bend, a 1 hour and 15 minutes stop at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Here, the Colorado River bends sharply into a horseshoe-shaped canyon, offering spectacular views from the rim. This spot is a favorite for photos and offers a dramatic perspective on natural erosion. The day concludes with a visit to Lower Antelope Canyon (optional, extra fee), a narrow, stunning slot canyon east of Page, Arizona.

Grand Canyon South Rim and Optional Helicopter Tour on Day 5

Day 5 is dedicated to the Grand Canyon National Park, focusing on the South Rim. The visit lasts about 2.5 hours, with plenty of opportunities to view the canyon’s steep, layered terrain. The guide explains the formation of this world-famous landmark and points out key viewpoints. An optional helicopter or airplane tour can be booked at an additional cost, offering a bird’s-eye view of the canyon’s vastness.

The Grand Canyon South Rim is a highlight of the trip, showcasing breathtaking vistas and rugged natural beauty. Visitors also have the chance to learn about the canyon’s geology and history, making this stop a memorable conclusion to the day’s exploration.
