Overnight in Zion National Park, or Springdale, Utah near the Western entrance to the park. Try and time it for sunset for some knock-out photos. Then hike the Canyon Overlook Trail, a short but breathtaking hike where the full panorama of this canyon of the Virgin River literally lays at your feet. Upon arrival at Zion, buy an America The Beautiful Federal Lands Access Pass. ĭay 2 – Drive from Las Vegas to Zion National Park (3 hours), maybe stop in Mesquite, NV for lunch or 9 holes of golf. As you can see, we are happy to answer questions personally! So let’s get you planning.ĭay 1 – Arrival: Fly into Vegas/McCarran Airport, pick up your rental car, enjoy a nice dinner ( LAS has no shortage of awesome restaurants! ), and stay overnight in your choice of Las Vegas hotels. If you need help tweaking your itinerary for these or any other “secondary” staging cities, don’t hesitate to ask in the comments below. Statistically speaking, that’s the city that most Grand Canyon area visitors choose to fly into and out of, seconded closely by Phoenix (PHX), thirded (is that a real word? Guess it is now) by Salt Lake City (SLC). OK, first thing’s first: we’re going to assume that Las Vegas (LAS) is going to be your (pardon the expression) jumping off point. 14 days of fabulousness… and you have no clue what you’re going to do with them. A fortnight in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Grand Circle. Listen… Hear that? That’s the sound of angels singing your praises (in a lovely key of A♭flat augmented, no less) for landing the “holy grail” of vacations: 2 weeks in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
