Three of America’s most spectacular—and coolest—national parks without a single are-we-there-yet moment? You can do it! All of your logistics are already taken care of on Classic Journeys’ Bryce, Grand Canyon & Zion family vacation. Mountain bikes? Check. Mule rides into Bryce Canyon? Check. Hiking through waterfalls, and great inns with swimming pools? Absolutely! We thread through canyons that are barely 20 feet wide, boogie board down sand dunes, and go river tubing. There’s time for gallery-hopping as well as some very fine dining. You can’t get through this week without testing the echoes in awesome, eerie canyons. But best of all, the experiences you have on this action-packed vacation will echo in your family’s collective memory for years to come.

DAY 1 - GRAND CANYON'S NORTH RIM
Our Bryce, Zion & Grand Canyon family tours meet in St. George, Utah, and head for Grand Canyon’s North Rim (1 night).   At the Ancestral Puebloan ruins on Walhalla Plateau, we pay an amazing visit to one of America’s most important archeological sites.  An afternoon takes us to the canyon’s rim to be in place for sunset overlooking Roaring Springs and the South Rim.

DAYS 2-4 - BRYCE CANYON
En route to Bryce Canyon National Park (2 nights), you’ll go boogie boarding on the steep, slippery sands at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.  After a morning walk among the sandstone hoodoos, we climb aboard mules for a cool ride down into the canyon.

DAYS 5-6 - ZION
In Zion National Park (2 nights), there’s mountain biking on an easy-going riverside trail. Then we switch to swim suits and tubes to float down the Virgin River between red rock bluffs. On our final day, we take an awesome walk through hanging flower gardens into the slot canyon of Zion Narrows.
