One of this tour’s fine hotels
Our goal is always to find the most interesting and memorable lodging a region offers. Here's one of our favorites from this itinerary. For a complete list, please call or email us.

Desert Pearl Inn
A riverside oasis of sun hued stucco, timbers reclaimed from old railroad trestles, and native stone grace this beautifully landscaped property. All guest rooms are artfully appointed and feature private terraces or balconies and Adirondack chairs. Relax at the end of the day in the heated outdoor swimming pool or hot tub.

What the weather is like
The climate varies significantly between Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon and Zion National Park.  Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon are at an elevation between 6500-7500 feet, which keeps the temperatures moderate throughout the summer months. Zion is at an altitude of 4000 feet and is generally much warmer during the summer months.  In Zion, we have planned our walks for the morning and late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
