- Visit Zion National Park and hike the Angel’s Landing trail (up to Scout’s Lookout), a walk to remember, with its dramatic switchbacks, drop-offs and incredible views.
- Bryce Canyon is known for crimson-coloured hoodoos which are spire-shaped rock formations. Hike the Navajo Loop to the famous Thor’s Hammer hoodoo.
- Enjoy a backcountry hike with a team of First Nations guides and learn about native plants, animals, geology, archaeology and most importantly, about indigenous past and present.
- Sunsets are always beautiful, but nothing can beat the one in Moab – take your time and enjoy the unforgettable sunset scenes at Dead Horse Point.
- Join a Navajo guide on a jeep tour through Monument Valley and learn about this incredible place from an indigenous perspective.
- Take the perfect photo at Horseshoe Bend, a horseshoe-shaped incised meander along the Colorado River, which is one of the most photographed places in Utah.
- This is a walking trip so a good level of fitness will help you to fully enjoy it.
- Walking in these national parks can be hot during summer, therefore some of the walks will take place very early in the morning. Regardless, sun protection is a must, along with at least two litres of water per person and comfortable clothing suited for hiking in hot conditions.
- Your adventure wraps up at 5pm and overnight accommodation is not included on the final day, so please plan your journey home accordingly.
