Canyons of the Southwest
Off the Beaten Path in Grand, Bryce & Zion Canyons
The landscape of the American Southwest has long captivated artists, writers and photographers who have sought to arrest its drama in image or word. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon’s 5,000-foot precipice, searching the depths below for a glimpse of the Colorado River’s silver ribbon, you’ll soon realize that no work of art can compare. Remarkably diverse but no less moving are the marvels of neighboring Bryce and Zion. We explore all three on this classic Western adventure, enjoying stays in historic park lodges en route.
- Gaze into the Grand Canyon’s storied depths from the more remote and less-visited North Rim
- Our expert guides reveal hidden corners of Zion while Bryce Canyon’s colorful hoodoos bring the magic of the Southwest to life
- Stay at classic stone-and-timber national park lodges, with the ambience of adventure from a century ago

Important Information
On this trip we’ll see a side of the American Southwest that most casual tourists miss. The main goal of our experienced Expedition Leaders is to get our travelers to less-visited areas away from crowds in order to experience the wildlife and natural grandeur of the canyon lands in the most remote and secluded manner possible. Specific dates cannot be booked with the National Parks until August (for the following year). Trip dates listed are likely to change slightly and will be confirmed at that time. Depending upon availability, itineraries may run in a different order.
Getting There & Getting Home
You should arrive in time to join your group for an orientation at 6pm on Day 1 in St. George, Utah. You are free to depart in the afternoon after 1:30pm on the final day.
