We did this trip as a road trip. Once we arrived in Zion, we bought a few groceries and packed a cooler. And then ate a ton of PBJs the rest of the week. 😂 I will link the few restaurants where we ate.
Earliest nonstop flight into Vegas. Rent car via Turo and head towards Zion. This trip involves a ton of driving- so rent something cool!!
Valley of Fire

Easy stop on the way to Zion. Could take it or leave it. Feel like Zion is so much better, that this place was less remembered.

Zion National Park
@nicolewright
I would take 2 full days to explore Zion. Spending 1 day hiking The Narrows is a must! Linking the equipment rental company we used below. They provided waterproof boots, neoprene socks, hiking sticks, and provided a shuttle in/out.
If Angel’s Landing is on the list, it now requires a permit- linking that below also.

Drive from Zion through the tunnel to Bryce. There is one place to eat right outside of the park entrance.
Bryce Canyon National Park
@nicolewright
We didn’t do a ton here, but it was worth the drive to see. We parked at Sunrise Point and hiked a short ways down and back up.

Kanab Tour Company
@nicolewright
We booked 2 tours through them- The Hog Canyon tour and White Pocket. Hog Canyon was a blast with beautiful scenery. If I could only choose one, I would pick White Pocket.

Lee's Ferry Lodge at Vermilion Cliffs
@nicolewright
We stayed here on the way to Page, AZ. You could find something nicer with more amenities in Page. But we LOVED the Vermillion Cliff scenery and remoteness of this place! But don’t come here expecting luxury. It was clean, comfortable and safe.

Horseshoe Bend

Short walk, $5 entry fee. AMAZING PHOTOS! We went right around sunset and it was worth it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nicole Wright
Seriously addicted to travel.
📍Kentucky
I love to experience the culture of an area. Whether it’s a US city I’ve visited over and over or a remote village in a foreign country, my goal is to dive into the local life and see what adventures I can find. I have a strong appreciation for the uniqueness every single place has to offer. I love nature and tend to focus heavily on finding the coolest spots on the planet.
I do 100% of my trip planning/booking and tend to plan the next vacation while I’m still on a vacation. Watching a plan come together perfectly is one of my favorite parts of a trip. And when it doesn’t come together, sometimes those are the best adventures. I love to give recommendations and help others experience new cultures.
My trips vary from short to long, with or without kids, all inclusive resorts to backcountry tents. I like to keep things moving, yet still leave time for an ample amount of relaxation.
I have an infinite bucket list. The more I see, the more I want to see. 🌎
