Grand Canyon Tour From Salt Lake City, Plus Arches, Canyonlands, Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Zion, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, Navajo Reservation, Capitol Reef, More, Four Days
日 1 - Salt Lake City to the Grand Canyon - About 3.5 hours
This Grand Canyon tour from Salt Lake City starts at the Salt Lake airport, from where you will fly to northern Arizona. The cost of this flight is included in the tour price, but there will be a checked luggage fee, which you will need to pay. After landing, you will take a shuttle to the Grand Canyon, where you will meet up with one of our guides. The portion of the tour from Salt Lake City to the Grand Canyon is unescorted, which means you will not have a tour guide with you until you get to the Grand Canyon.
You can now extend your stay at the Grand Canyon. Instead of leaving the Canyon now and continuing your tour, you can spend as many extra nights there as you like. When you order the tour, you will see an option to add extra time at the Grand Canyon. Simply add as many additional nights as you want to stay there. Note that we will charge your card for the extra night(s) at the time we make the Grand Canyon hotel booking for you.
The way it works is that you will be taken out to the Grand Canyon, be shown some of the sights, and you will then check into your hotel. We always try and reserve a room at Bright Angel Lodge, which is at the rim. Depending on how late you book, this is often not possible, and we may book you at either Maswik Lodge, which is about a quarter mile (0.4 km) from the rim, or Yavapai Lodge, which is less than half a mile (0.75 km) from the rim, on the free shuttle route.
You will be at liberty to explore the Canyon on your own for the extra time that you choose. Please note that there will not be a tour guide with you for the extra night. The extended Grand Canyon stay is subject to lodging availability in the park. We will check this once the order has been placed.
Please also be aware that if the helicopter tour option is available on your tour, and you order it and extend, on some days you will need to take a taxi from the Grand Canyon to the Grand Canyon airport. We can help you arrange it, and we will pick you up after your helicopter tour, and take you back into the park.
The rest of the group will continue on their way through the Canyon to Page. If you extend, you will be picked up by one of our guides after your extended stay. The tour carries on as detailed below for those who are not spending a night or two at the Grand Canyon.
Grand View Point And The East Side Of The South Rim
ナバホ族の小さな町カヤンタ(Kayenta)に近づくにつれ、この地域で非常に有名なメサやビュートが視界に飛び込んで来るようになります。モニュメントバレー・ナバホ族公園(Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park)へ移動する間、古い西部劇映画のシーンを髣髴させるような景色を目撃することでしょう。
There is a LOT to see and do today! We'll be visiting no fewer than three great national parks. Normally our guides will let you take your own sweet time, to meander around the sights at will, within reason. Today, however, time is at a premium, especially outside the summer months, and it will be important to adhere to your guide's requests.
For this reason, we include a sack lunch today, to save a little time.
The entrance to Arches is literally just outside Moab, and we'll be heading there fairly early this morning, shortly after the free continental breakfast that is available at your hotel.
We will continue our drive through the park, stopping to take pictures of arches and rock formations along the way, until we get to Devil's Garden. We'll take a walk through Devil's Garden, and make our way to at least one of the major arches to be found here.
公園は 3 つのセクションに分かれています:アイランド・イン・ザ・スカイ(Island in the Sky)、ニードルズ(Needles)、そしてメイズ(Maze)。私たちが訪れるのはアイランド・イン・ザ・スカイで、その名が示す通り、そこは一面に広がる幻想的な渓谷の世界を展望できる高台に位置します。
Amongst the sights we hope to show you are Grand View Point, the Green River Overlook, the Shafer Trail and the White Rim Trail. The views from this elevation, looking down on canyon country, are really spectacular.
We'll leave the Moab area behind as we start the trip to Capitol Reef National Park. On the way there will be a very brief detour near Green River, to enable you to get some take out food for the road.
Utah has five national parks, more than any other state in the country. Capitol Reef is the least well known, as it is situated relatively far from major centers and roads. It is long and thin in shape, and we will be traveling through a sliver of it. If you refer to the map to the left, we will generally enter the park to the east (right) of where it says Orientation Pullout, on the red line demarcating the road. We will follow the red line to the west (left) and depart the park to the west of where the map says Twin Rocks.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, Capitol Reef has a rich history dating back to Archaic hunters and gatherers. In more modern times, Mormon pioneers settled the area in the 1800's, and you will see some of the old buildings in which they conducted their daily lives.
Fruita is one of the more picturesque areas in the historic part of Capitol Reef. As the name suggests, it is home to a variety of fruit orchards, including peaches, apples, cherries, plums, apricot, pears, mulberries, almonds, and walnuts. For a nominal fee, the public is permitted to harvest fruit at certain times of the year, and we will try and do so, circumstances permitting.
We will spend the night in one of the small communities outside Capitol Reef. You are on your own for supper, but a free continental breakfast is available when you wake up tomorrow.
The route to Bryce Canyon this morning is scenic, with forests, mountains and wilderness areas on both sides of the road almost all the way. Just before the final turn off to Bryce, we will pass the small town of Tropic, which is where Ebenezer Bryce lived, the man for whom the park is named.
Feel free to spend an extra night or two just outside Bryce Canyon, at Bryce View Lodge. Please order this option when you check out, and note that it is subject to availability. If you do choose to extend at Bryce Canyon, you will continue with the regular tour after your extension.
There is a free shuttle that runs from a location that is a couple of hundred yards from Bryce View Lodge, into the park and around much of Bryce. Please be aware that this is a seasonal shuttle, which generally runs from the end of April to the end of September, although this is subject to change. We do not recommend extending at Bryce if the free shuttle is not running, as it will be difficult to get around.
You will carry on with the scheduled tour if you do not want to stay a little longer at Bryce.
You can now extend your tour by spending a night or two in Springdale, which is literally right outside Zion. There is a free shuttle system that will take you into the park. You can order this Zion extension when you check out, although we do not recommend extending at Zion unless the shuttle is running, which is generally from the middle of March to the third week of October. If you extend at Zion, you will carry on with the rest of the tour the next day.
The trip continues as normal for those who are not extending at Zion.
The days and dates this tour runs can be seen in the calendar at the top right of this page.
The entry fees to all parks are included.
The Navajo led off road tours at Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon are included.
Three nights' accommodation are included at: the Quality Inn or similar in Page (if Page is sold out, we will stay in Kanab or Flagstaff); the Days Inn or similar in Moab; the Days Inn or similar just outside Capitol Reef.
Prices are based on double occupancy. Single, triple and quad occupancy rates are also available and will be seen at checkout. There are no taxes. The price assumes that you book sufficiently far ahead of time. The flight price may be higher if you do not. We will always let you know about this ahead of time, and ask if you want to proceed.
The price includes the services of a guide/driver and transportation.
The meals included are three continental breakfasts and one sack lunch.
This tour departs from the Salt Lake City International Airport and drops off at major Las Vegas Strip hotels.
All times are approximate. We are not responsible for the consequences of any delays, and this itinerary may change without notice.
We are also not responsible if flight delays cause you to miss part of this tour. If that happens all we will refund is the cost of the portion of the tour that you missed.
Depending on the time of the year, there may be a short wait in northern Arizona.
Vehicles are mini buses or executive vans, which are vans with individual, high back, reclining seats, with the exception of the route between the northern Arizona airport and the Grand Canyon, which may be operated by a supplier in a larger vehicle.
If you extend your tour by staying a night at the Grand Canyon, you will generally be dropped off at Maswik Lodge, inside the Grand Canyon. If you are staying at one of the other two lodges, Bright Angel or Yavapai, you will need to take the free shuttle from Maswik to the lodge at which you are staying. The shuttles run approximately every 15 minutes, and the distance is about 1/3 of a mile. You will be picked up from your lodge the next day.
If you extend your stay at Zion, at the end of your extension, on some days you may travel by pre-paid taxi to St. George, where you will take a shuttle to the Las Vegas airport, where the tour will end. There will be a short wait from the taxi drop off to the time the shuttle departs.
Portions of this tour may, at our discretion, be sub-contracted to other reputable vendors.
