Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and the Grand Canyon, are a trio of nature’s finest. From southern Utah’s Brian Head Peak, descend off the mountain through a blur of aspen and pine to Red Canyon in the Dixie National Forest. Here, ride a newly created bicycle path lined with oversized sandstone figures–a curious token preview of a bigger scene that lies ahead. At Bryce Canyon National Park, our road through the forest opens abruptly to the brim of a giant basin filled to capacity with stone-silent gatherings of human-like hoodoos. Take a moment to hike down through its channels of bizarre form and color. En route to the Grand Canyon, ride through ponderosa forests and deer meadows to the North Rim, where anticipation meets its match at the highest edge of the greatest gorge in the world. A brief hike down the canyon wall manifests the canyon’s grand scale and magnitude. Cycling back over the Kaibab Plateau, descend more than 5,000 feet into Zion National Park, for a grand finale ride into the stunning sanctuary of the Three Patriarchs, Angel’s Landing, and the Great White Throne.
Day 1-2: Meet in St. George. Ride from Cedar Breaks to Red Canyon and Bryce Canyon, Hike the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon.
Day 3-4: Ride Red Canyon to Coral Pink Sand Dunes outside Kanab. Climb atop the Kaibab Plateau to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Day 5-6: Enjoy a day on the North Rim hiking or biking to many of the spectacular vistas. Descend the following day back to Kanab and the East Entrance of Zion National Park. Ride from the highest to lowest points in Zion and into the quaint town of Springdale, Utah.
Day 7: Spend the final day riding or hiking along the Virgin River while the Great White Throne and Angel’s Landing linger 2000 feet above.

The Grand Canyon Lodge – North Rim overlooks the North Kaibab Trail and Bright Angel Creek as it makes its way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The breathtaking forest setting around the lodge is welcoming as the breeze blows through the ponderosa pine trees.
“This is the ultimate place to experience mindfulness. You can’t help but be in awe of nature’s beauty and stillness at the North Rim. We checked the online system daily until we got a cabin facing the Rim. Room 310 was an amazing cabin! You will pay more but your experience will be well worth every penny spent. There were four people who stayed in our cabin comfortably. There were two queen beds and a fireplace in the main room with a pantry/luggage room and a bathroom in the back. There was a nice front porch with rocking chairs too. It was just a short walk to all amenities including restaurants, bar, sandwich shop, public viewing area and parking lot. We were right on the edge of the Bright Angel Trail that was a beautiful look out area.”
