Since this is an indepth tour encompassing 8 days and is a Pace 4, you are required to fill out a reservation form  and meet with our Tour Director prior to signup. This is to ensure that you understand all the details of this tour.
 
This tour was designed in conjunction with our friends who specialize in adventure tours.  This tour is limited to the first 23 travelers.  We will travel in two sprinter vans instead of a motorcoach (same luxury … no bathroom).  The elevation average is between 4,000 and 7,000 feet but there will be minimal elevation change daily. To get the most value out of the design of this tour we will walk three to five miles each day on dirt and improved trails along with sidewalks and boardwalks.  The most strenuous hike we include is to Delicate Arch which is a three mile round trip hike with an 800ft elevation gain. You can choose to walk less and still see the parks but it will not be up close and personal viewing. Some of our lunches will be box lunch/picnic style to make the most of our day and surroundings.

Utah is home to five of the best national parks - Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion - collectively known as the Mighty Five.  Established between 1919 and 1971, these parks are famous for their red-rock formations, desert solitude, and thousands of miles of breathtaking trails.
