Why you'll love this trip
  • Follow an awe-inspiring, family-friendly trail through Zion National Park with incredible views and an emerald green pool.
  • Explore the otherworldly landscapes of Bryce Canyon National Park and marvel at the weird and wonderful collection of sandstone spires known as hoodoos.
  • Stay on a Navajo reservation in a traditional hut made of logs and earth and stargaze under the Milky Way.
  • Discover the history and geology of Lake Powell onboard a relaxing boat tour
  • Marvel at one of the nation’s greatest national parks, the Grand Canyon.

Is this trip right for you?
  • The trip involves walking through Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon, so be prepared with sturdy walking shoes, a water bottle and a daypack.
  • Lunches will be simple and picnic-style, so perhaps bring some of your own snacks if you or the kids think you’ll get hungry between meals.
  • We will be travelling to the desert, which means it is often very warm during the day but cold at night, so make sure you pack the appropriate clothing for all weather.

Epic trip to some amazing natural landscapes, that just cannot be captured in photos. Our family (boys aged 13 & 11) loved the hikes, kayaking and camping. This was our first holiday on an organised tour and will not be our last, thanks Intrepid!

Our trip with Intrepid delivered life lasting memories and experiences. When I was wondering if a day could be bettered the following day it was. It was enjoyable, informative and an opportunity to see sites and have experiences that you will not find anywhere else. Epic trip!

Our holiday to Western America was nothing short of amazing! We travelled as a multi generation family, ranging from 67 to 13. We saw some of the best scenery ever, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon just to name a little of what we saw. Our tour guide Indy was brilliant, his knowledge of the area was absolutely incredible. We would 100% book an Intrepid trip again, we are already looking at where to go next. Everything about our trip was just amazing! We've seen some of the best scenery Western America has to offer. Our tour guide Indy was just the best, super organised, and very knowledgeable. We would 100% recommend an Intrepid Trip to everyone :-)
