DAY BY DAY ITINERARY

DAY 1: flight to Salt Lake CIty Utah

Today you'll fly to Salt Lake City and be picked up in person by Daniel and the myXOadventures.com Van. On this day I'll be exploring Salt Lake and you're welcome to join. If you're unable due to flight time there are plenty of things to see as we are centrally located at the Hampton Inn Downtown Salt Lake City. Enjoy the day before we begin THE MIGHTY FIVE!

​DAY 2: Salt Lake City to Arches National PArk

Today we say goodbye to Salt Lake City in the early morning to Arches National Park via Scenic Route 6. We'll  stop for lunch at Tamarisk Restaurant which boasts beautiful riverside views. Once we arrive Arches National Park we get to meet our  guide Lisa for a scenic drive, easy hiking, and interpretive services. Arches National Park is one of America's favorite as it puts on full display the exquisite rock formations created by  erosion resulting in arches and geological wonders that will blow your mind.

At the end of the day, we'll check-in to our hotel at the La Quinta Inn Moab. Your breakfast and lunch are included this day!

DAY 3: Canyonlands NAtional Park

This morning after your breakfast, we'll be met by our guide Lisa, and be taken on an exciting UTV Tour of the surrounding area and backroads.

Her expertise in the area is going to make the experience more engaging and special. Once the UTV tour is finished she will stay with us for the remainder of the day and take us through Canyonlands on a scenic drive as well as some good hiking in the park. Be prepared for a day packed with excitement and some exercise. Hiking in the park allows us to reach areas other won't be able to see by lame "Tour Busses" packed with sheep. This is the real deal today and meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. 

Later we'll enjoy an amazing sunset showing off the absolutely stunning rock formations and colors of the park in all its glory!
​
Breakfast and Lunch are included this day.

Day 4: Moab to Capitol Reef National PArk

We'll travel along the San Rafael Swell and Fremont River with another stop in Green River at Rays Tavern for lunch.

​Capitol Reef is a truly special park that is relatively unvisited yet a true gem of the National Parks of Utah. You'll enjoy a fantastic audio guide of the Park rich with history and culture. We'll stop along the way to visit panoramic views before coming to a rest in Torrey Utah at the Broken Spoke Inn.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included this day!

Day 5: Torrey to Bryce Canyon National Park

We'll travel through Capitol Reef National Park for possible visits of Cassidy Arch, Grand Wash, Cohab Canyon, Chimney Rock, and more. Beyond this, we head to Bryce Canyon, but the journey is incredible. We'll be traveling on Scenic Route 12, one of the most amazing scenic roads in America.

​Once we arrive in Bryce Canyon, we'll take a short hike to Mossy Cave along the East Fork of the Sevier River as it descends into the valley of Tropic. Later we check into the Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel Best Western. Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner are included this day.

This evening (Weather Permitting) you can attend a Night Sky Program offered by the park service at the visitors center of Bryce Canyon National Park.

​If you're still up for It, Daniel will be searching the night sky this evening as its the new moon. This means as long as the weather permits, there should be plenty of stars to see. 

Day 6 Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park

If you're willing to get up early we can enjoy a sunrise at the rim of Bryce Canyon and witness a metamorphic color change from grey to lively reds, purples, greens, and more. 

​We'll head to Fairytale Loop trail after breakfast to get a panoramic view before making our way to Zion National Park.
 
Along the way, we'll enjoy lunch at one of the many options available. Next, we travel to Zion and enjoy a scenic drive with stops at the checkerboard Mesa, travel through carved tunnels, and stop along the way to take breathtaking photos. You'll be amazed at the carvings and creations Zion National Park has to offer.

​Later, we end at our Hotel in Springdale.. the Bumbleberry Inn. 

Day 7: Zion National Park

Today we wake up early and explore the riverwalk and Big Bend as well as a look into the  Virgin Narrows, Kayenta to Emerald Pools, and much more. The scenic drive will be enjoyed by driving by van. 

Once we've had all our little hearts and bodies can handle and by 12PM, we get back on the road to head back to Salt Lake City, where we'll overnight at the Crystal Inn Salt Lake City. 

*For April Departures the narrows have a high likelihood of being closed due to high water levels. In consideration of this, we have decided to replace the narrows with a professional guided hike.  

 

Day 8: You've done it!

After a long absence of being closed off and out of touch, I hope that you've enjoyed the amazing State of Utah and an Adventure that myXOadventures.com feels is a one of a kind in the world. We wish you a fond farewell, and a safe journey home filled with memories worthy of sharing with friends and family!
