The Southwest Utah trip is a 6-day trip that allows for plenty of time to explore Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.

This was a rough day, but well worth the effort. After my late arrival on Day 0 in Las Vegas, I drove all night to get to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, took a nap, then hiked out to a viewpoint to watch the sun rise. After that, I explored the north rim, then drove on into southern Utah for the night.

This day was mostly devoted to one of the best trails in Zion National Park, the Angels Landing trail.

Another full day in Zion National Park allowed me to tackle another big trail: Observation Point.

On this day, I enjoyed one more great hike in Zion National Park. Then, I headed up to another great park, Bryce Canyon.

This day began with a great hike around the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, then I headed south for my final night of the trip.

Before catching my flight home, I drove around Lake Mead and visited Hoover Dam.
