Trip Summary

A California, Nevada, Utah road trip is a thrilling expedition that takes you from the glitzy streets of Las Vegas to the surreal landscapes of Utah’s national parks, like Zion and Arches, with California’s diverse beauty adding a touch of coastal charm and mountain allure, making it a road trip filled with contrast and excitement. From the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip to the iconic vistas of the Grand Canyon and the mystical hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, this journey offers a remarkable blend of entertainment, natural wonders, and unforgettable memories. You can add you hotels, flights, car rental, activities and transfers to your liking. The itinerary is just a suggestion based on our experience.

DAY 1

Day 1 :

Welcome to Los Angeles, once you arrive you’ll pick up your car and drive to your hotel. We work with many hotels so you’ll have quite a few to choose from. With not much time in LA we recommend seeing the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Venice beach. There are dozens of great restaurants to choose from and we’d be happy to make some suggestions and reservations. We also have a list of hidden gem off the beaten path experiences you might want to see if the typical tourist destinations don’t interest you.

DAY 2

Day 2 :

Head to Las Vegas and depending on when you arrive you’ll have a large list of activities to choose from. Check into your hotel and relax for a bit before heading out to see Meow Wolf, an art installation that’s fantastic! Grab some dinner at some of the many great restaurants which we can make a reservation for if needed.

DAY 3

Day 3 :

Some highlights that we would recommend are a helicopter to the Grand Canyon, sit by the pool or visit the spa. There’s plenty of shopping and gambling(if that’s your thing…We personally hate losing money). In the evening we recommend either seeing Absinthe or a Cirque du Soliel show(we can book your tickets for you). Whatever you do, you’ll be tired by the end of the day.

DAY 4

Day 4 :

Wake up and drive towards the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Drive through Valley of Fire on the way to see many of it’s spectacular rock formations and colors. You’ll stay at the hotel at the North Rim where you’ll be able to watch the sun go down, which is the prefect time of day to see it’s beauty. Gaze at the stars after sunset.

DAY 5

Day 5 :

We have a few backroads that are longer but worth the drive and it’s unbelievably beautiful. Stop at Horseshoe Bend before heading to your hotel. Relax in town, get some food and relax for the evening.

DAY 6

Day 6 :

Lot’s to do here from Lake activities, boat and jet ski rentals but you can’t leave this area without seeing Antelope Canyon. Located on an Indian reservation and it does require a reservation to do the tour. YOU CAN NOT MISS THIS! Hot air ballooning in the area is also amazing.

DAY 7

Get up early and make your way to Moab. Do the drive through Arches National Park and if you’re really up for a challenge we can set up a private rock climbing excursion. Check into your hotel and enjoy a stroll around town.

DAY 8

Day 8 :

We suggest getting up early as the drive to Escalante is one of the prettiest drives in the country and it’s where our favorite property in the US is. It’s an upscale glamping experience with luxury cabins and air streams. Once the sun goes down get ready for a treat as they have a drive in movie theatre complete with 50’s cars to sit in and free popcorn!

DAY 9

Day 9 :

Get up early to explore the area and it’s many hikes. We can set up a private guide to take you to some of the local hidden gems. Horseback riding and dune buggies are an option as well. Probably best to head to Zion midday and check into your hotel. We have a few in the area to choose from.
