Itinerary

Sunday

From our rendezvous in St George, we drive to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A world apart is revealed by a short overlook walk to catch-your-breath Bright Angel Point. We admire unforgettable sunset views of The Canyon followed by dinner in the famed old stone lodge and enjoy our first quiet night's sleep in the high clean air.
Overnight: Grand Canyon

Monday

After a hearty breakfast, we enjoy a longish, but relatively flat, hike along the Widforss Trail named for the well-known watercolor landscape painter. Midway, we have a memorable picnic lunch with panoramic views over the Canyon. By late afternoon, we return to the lodge stopping at Cape Royal which affords us more memorable views of the Canyon from a different angle.
Overnight: Grand Canyon

Tuesday

After packing the wagons, we're off to Bryce Canyon, stopping along the way at Jacob Lake Lodge for lunch in the old western movie town of Kanab. We then motor through some spectacular Red Rock Country to Bryce Canyon National Park and walk the rim trail in the late afternoon light before enjoying dinner at the lodge.
Overnight: Bryce Canyon

Wednesday

You may join early-rising Wayfarers for a short dawn walk to Sunrise Point, where we'll watch the sun ignite the altar candles in the great rock cathedral. Fantastic! Our Bryce walk leads us to a grove of ancient bristlecone pine and to Fairyland Canyon, every bit as magical as its name.
Overnight: Bryce Canyon

Thursday

After breakfast, we head for Zion saving, arguably, the best National Park for last - but it's a tough choice! We enter Zion along a scenic drive stopping for a short walk along the Overlook Trail, then down to the Lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, we hike the famed Narrows Walk, visit Weeping Rock, and end the day at the Human History Museum and Visitor Center in Zion. We settle into Flanigan's Inn in Springdale and there will be time for an optional spa treatment before dinner. Giddy-up and join the locals for a more casual evening at the Bit and Spur Saloon.
Overnight: Springdale

Friday

This morning we hike up to the Watchman Trail with outstanding views of the colorful expanse of Zion Canyon. After lunch, relax by the pool, stroll the shops of Springdale or cross the handsome suspension bridge for an afternoon walk to Emerald Pools to view its three waterfalls. Our Farewell Dinner is elegantly served at Flanigan's Inn.
Overnight: Springdale

Saturday

After breakfast, we return to St. George for onward connections.
