Activity level

Easy

Walks of about 1 to 5 km a day, split into short sections, mostly on paved or level park paths, at 1,200 m in Zion and up to about 2,700 m at Bryce, where anyone tires sooner than at home. Every walk can be cut short, and the vehicle or a shuttle stop is never far away. The steeper walks (the climb below the rim at Bryce and the Grand Canyon, wading the Narrows) are options, never required. Upper Antelope Canyon is mostly level on the canyon floor, but some tours leave by a stairway; we confirm the exit and the minimum age with the operator. The Monument Valley tour is a bumpy ride on dirt roads. Half the travel days are under three hours in the vehicle; the longest are broken into legs of two and a quarter hours or less, with a stop at least every 90 minutes.

Las Vegas to Zion

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas, to St. George, then Springdale at the gate of Zion National Park

  • Welcome dinner at about 5:30 pm
  • Stay in Springdale (Zion)
  • Drive about 3 h

Evening

Your See Sight Tours guide meets the group at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in the late morning; the exact time comes with your final itinerary, and many families fly in the evening before. We drive north on Interstate 15 across the Mojave and through the Virgin River Gorge, where the road threads a narrow canyon across a corner of Arizona, and stop after about an hour and three-quarters in St. George, Utah, for lunch and a stretch. Clocks go forward an hour as you cross into Utah. Another hour brings us to Springdale, the small town at Zion's south entrance, about 265 km from the airport. We stay two nights in Springdale, as close to the park gate as we can confirm, with family or connecting rooms requested. There is time to unpack and swim if the hotel has a pool. The welcome dinner sits down at about 5:30 pm, and afterwards anyone with energy left can walk the flat, paved Pa'rus Trail beside the Virgin River as the evening light turns the Watchman red.

Included

  • Pick-up at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
  • Drive through the Virgin River Gorge to Zion, with a lunch stop in St. George
  • Welcome dinner in Springdale
  • Evening walk on the Pa'rus Trail with your guide

Easier option: Skip the evening walk and rest at the hotel.

Free time: Lunch in St. George at your choice; late afternoon free at the hotel, with a swim if the hotel has a pool

Activity: Plan to land in Las Vegas by about 10 am, or arrive the night before; we can book a pre-trip night on request. Bring car seats or boosters only if we tell you the vehicle partner cannot supply them.

Wildlife and weather: July and August are when most families can travel, and they are hot: Zion, Page and Las Vegas often pass 38 C, so we walk early, rest at midday and go out again in the evening. July to September brings afternoon thunderstorms that can close the Narrows and cancel Antelope Canyon tours. Bryce and the Grand Canyon rim sit at 2,100 to 2,700 m and are cool in the mornings all summer. Mule deer are common in Zion and Bryce, elk graze around Grand Canyon Village, and California condors are sometimes seen along the South Rim; keep well back from all of them.

Questions

What does the price include?

Seven nights in 3-star-plus hotels with family or connecting rooms requested, 7 breakfasts, 6 sit-down lunches and 3 early dinners, Las Vegas airport pick-up and drop-off, a private vehicle and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, every park entry, Upper Antelope Canyon, the Navajo-guided Monument Valley tour, Horseshoe Bend parking and a Junior Ranger booklet for each child.

What age do children need to be, and is there a child price?

Children need to be 6 or older, travelling with a parent or grandparent. There is no published child price yet: the price shown is per person sharing a room. Tell us your children's ages when you request to book and we quote the family as a whole, including any saving for children sharing a room with adults.

How big is the group, and will we be with other families?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, counting children, so you travel with other families of three generations. Every family has its own rooms, and the group fits around one table at dinner. If you would rather travel with only your family, choose the private style.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with you from Las Vegas and back, with a separate professional driver so the guide can walk with the group and help the children with their Junior Ranger booklets. At Upper Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, Navajo guides lead, as the Navajo Nation requires.

How much walking is there for grandparents?

Mostly 1 to 5 km a day in short sections on paved or level paths, with benches, shuttles or the vehicle close by. The steeper walks below the rim at Bryce and the Grand Canyon, and wading the Narrows, are options. Bryce and the Grand Canyon are at 2,100 to 2,700 m, so everyone walks slowly there.

I'm a grandparent travelling with one grandchild. What is the single supplement?

If you share a room with your grandchild, there is no single supplement: you pay the per person price for two. A solo adult who wants a room alone pays CAD 1,045 more. We confirm room arrangements for every family before you pay anything.

When is the best time to go with children?

June and September are the most comfortable. July and August fit school holidays but are hot, often above 38 C in Zion and Page, so we walk early and rest at midday. July to September also brings storms that can close the Narrows and cancel Antelope Canyon tours.

How long are the drives?

Half the travel days are under three hours of driving; the longest, day 6 at about three and three-quarter hours, is broken into legs of two and a quarter hours or less, with toilet stops at least every 90 minutes. Zion and the Grand Canyon each have a day with no driving. The last day is four and a half hours of driving across about six and a half to seven hours, with four stops.

How does booking work?

Pick a date and request to book on this page, with the ages of everyone in your party. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request.

Can our family travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The private style is your family only, on a date you choose, with your own guide, driver and vehicle, from CAD 11,050 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels and Navajo-guided tours.

Do children need passports or visas?

Canadian citizens, including children, need only a valid passport for a visit. Most other visitors need an approved ESTA or a US visa before boarding. A child travelling with grandparents or with only one parent should carry a signed consent letter from the absent parents. Travel insurance is required.

How is this different from the 8-day Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon trip?

It follows the same route with family changes: Upper Antelope Canyon, mostly level inside, instead of the steep stairs of Lower Antelope, shorter level walks with the climbs as options, Mossy Cave, Junior Ranger badges, rest afternoons with a pool where the hotel has one, earlier dinners and family rooms.
