Eager to get started? Meet your guides and fellow travelers in Henderson, NV before beginning the journey to Bryce Canyon National Park. Along the way, we stop at Cedar Breaks National Monument for a picnic lunch and a short walk to take in its majestic amphitheater of hoodoos, canyons, and spires—a prelude to Bryce Canyon. Arriving at Bryce Canyon, our hike begins at Inspiration Point (one of the best views in the park) which looks out onto the main amphitheater with its vibrant-colored hoodoos stretched out before us. It's a mostly flat and mellow hike along the canyon rim to Sunset Point, where we descend into this magical amphitheater via the Navajo Loop trail, hiking past iconic landmarks like Thor's Hammer and Two Bridges. To exit the canyon, we stroll up the Queen's Garden path, with its bizarre and colorful formations. A short drive takes us to our private Signature Camp where we are welcomed in style for our first night of camping. After the sun goes down, prepare to be transported to the ultimate stargazing experience, viewing our universe through telescopes for close-ups of planets and deep space objects as we try to grasp the immensity of our galaxy. Lunch and dinner included.

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a vast and unspoiled wilderness playground filled with soaring cliffs, prehistoric ruin sites, and labyrinthine slot canyons. Today’s out-and-back hike takes us on a fun and unique backcountry adventure into one of these spectacular slot canyons. The canyon follows a mostly flat riverbed wash, never getting too narrow, making it accessible to hikers of all levels. From the trailhead, it's only a short distance before the trail dips into the canyon and we start crisscrossing Willis Creek. The canyon walls—striped vanilla, tan and black—steadily get taller making us feel tiny in comparison. There are countless photo-ops to capture the beauty of the diverse rock textures in this geological masterpiece. Returning to camp, there’s time to relax prior to feasting on another delicious dinner. All meals included.

A gradual descent on the Tropic Trail offers the best of Bryce Canyon’s one-of-a-kind rock formations with mesmerizing color combinations and stretches of Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir. We return to camp for a hearty late breakfast then pack up and begin the drive back to Las Vegas, arriving late this afternoon. Departing flights should be scheduled after 8pm tonight.
