Explore the USA’s most incredible natural landscapes and experience the real wild, wild west on this 4-day Intrepid Retreat in Utah.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Day 1: Las Vegas to Zion National Park
Welcome to Nevada! Your nature-filled glamping adventure begins in Las Vegas – the capital of glitz and glam in the heart of the desert. Start today with a welcome meeting at 8 am sharp, followed by a drive to Zion National Park. When you arrive, head out to explore Zion Canyon with your leader, taking in the views of the surrounding red cliffs and the famous Angel’s Landing. Your leader will then choose a hike based on the group’s ability and interests. Along the way, enjoy a picnic lunch and head to your glamping resort for a unique Feature Stay experience. You’ll spend the next few nights in your western-style wagons that feature private bathrooms, comfortable beds and a fire pit. Tonight, maybe rejoin your group for an optional welcome dinner.

Special Info: MEETING YOUR LEADER ON DAY 1:
There is no accommodation included in Las Vegas on this trip. On Day 1, please make your own way to the Joining Point hotel listed in the Essential Trip Information by 8AM sharp. Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours.

Day 2: Bryce Canyon National Park / Zion
This morning after breakfast you’ll be heading to Bryce Canyon National Park for the day. After a scenic drive through Utah’s red rock country (with multiple stops at overlooks for good views and good photos), you’ll reach an elevation of 8000 ft (just over 2400 m) marking your entrance into the park. From here, you’ll spend the morning hiking on trails chosen by your leader. Stop for a picnic lunch with your group among the hoodoos and spires and take in the incredible alien-like landscape. Later, enjoy an included dinner back near Zion.

Help support their work by having a plant-based lunch at the café and then enjoy some free time to explore the sanctuary (and meet some rescues of course!). Then, head to Page where you’ll join a local Navajo guide for an adventure through Lower Antelope Canyon – famous for its wave-like structure and the distinct light beams that shine down into the canyon’s openings, creating a supernatural, magical appearance. After, take a short hike out to Horseshoe Bend for an unforgettable view over the Colorado River, then return to Zion for the evening.

Special Info: Your travel time today will be approximately 5.5 hours.
