Hike among the colorful hoodoos of Bryce Canyon
Operates on: Monday and Thursday (May to
Oct)
Duration:
10 hours
Details Tour Itinerary:
Our Bryce Day tour from Las Vegas begins early as we travel north through the
Great Basin desert landscape that is peppered with mountains, rivers and
irrigated green pastures. Continuing on we pass through the Dixie of Utah, St.
George, known for its cotton growing past and cottonwood-lined streets today.
At approximately 11 am we arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park and our
tour of the park begins with brief stops at various overlooks and trailheads.
Other stops may include the museum, visitor center, Bryce Canyon Lodge, and the
many easy and challenging hiking trails this high plateau country offers.
The exotic landscape of Bryce Canyon is transformed by its seasonal changes,
especially in winter. So finally, you ask what are hoodoos? Wind and
water over time have shaped and sculpted rock to form this pinnacle or
odd-shaped looking geologic feature. You can see these wind-carved wonders on
many of the trails and overlooks within the park. We’ll have time for casual
walks along the rim or a longer hike into the amphitheater. After enjoying the
parks’ beauty whether by hike or just relaxing, we depart for Las Vegas around
4:00 pm.
Bryce Canyon is open all year, but as you might imagine with any high-altitude
area, conditions and sights may vary depending on the season. The weather is
warmest between May and October. The rock formations and cliffs are arguably at
their most beautiful when snow covered in winter and springtime. Whatever time
of year you choose to visit the park we hope you'll be impressed with the
grandeur of Bryce Canyon.
