Zion Ranch Stay

Greetings from Utah! As you travel through some of the finest wilderness areas of the nation, be ready to embrace the Wild West. Following a welcome meeting in Vegas, your group will all board a private bus to go to Zion National Park together. Your leader will give you a briefing on the different self-guided treks and trails available, such as challenging Scout Lookout, after a picnic lunch.
If you'd like, you may have supper back at the ranch tonight and perhaps unwind with a glass of wine while gazing at the stars or you can go for a stroll around the grounds.

You'll be travelling to Bryce Canyon National Park for the day after breakfast this morning. Once you reach a height of 8000 feet (just over 2400 metres) and enter Bryce National Park, it will have been a short journey in your own, air-conditioned car. From here, you will spend the morning hiking and take a stroll along the canyon's rim to see the unusual sandstone spires (also known as hoodoos) that soar spectacularly from the area's natural amphitheatre. A picnic lunch is provided, giving you the opportunity to unwind with the other passengers in your group while stretching your legs.

You'll be getting back in your own car this morning after breakfast and driving to Monument Valley for the day. You will pass through a lot of the southwest's breathtaking beauty on the southbound trip, via Lake Powell, until you arrive at one of the planet's most famous destinations. Many well-known western films were filmed on location at Monument Valley, so it may appear fairly recognisable to some. The Navajo people still call it home, which is of primary importance. After arriving, you'll change from your car to a 4X4 jeep and enjoy a Navajo-led tour of Monument Valley. You'll get the chance to learn more about their rich culture and history in the region before sitting down to a typical home-cooked, family-style Navajo meal. After lunch, we'll go back to the ranch, stopping along the way at the well-known Horseshoe Bend for a fantastic photo session. After an action-packed day, you'll have time to relax and recover once you get back to the ranch.

Drive to a hidden slot canyon called Peekaboo after breakfast today. It reminds many of Petra's siq in Jordan. This lesser-known local treasure may be explored by your local host, who will be able to show you the coral-pink beaches and soaring cliffs. After lunch on a picnic blanket, fly to Las Vegas, where your getaway will come to an end (approximately 5 pm)..
