GO SOUTHWEST EXPLORER with Go Trek USA by Go Trek USA

Tour Itinerary

Day 1-2 Zion National Park

Leaving Sin City behind us for a while we head out to Utah's finest National Park. Massive canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. Challenge yourself to what's considered the best half day hike in the southwest -hiking a narrow ridgeline to Angels Landing. Take it easy exploring the pristine Emerald pools, enjoy a river hike deep in the narrows, weather permitting.

Day 3 Bryce National Park

A short drive today takes us to an elevation of 8000 ft into Bryce National Park. Take a stroll along the rim and marvel at the unique sandstone spires (hoodoos) that rise dramatically from the natural amphitheater. Hike down into the hoodoos for an up close and personal experience with this fascinating landscape. A soak in the outdoor hot tub back at camp will ease those hiking muscles and a night around the campfire will end this day nicely.

Day 4-6 Arches and Canyonlands National Parks

Explore this stunning landscape in a guided sunset hummer tour or hang of a sandstone cliff on one of our optional canyoneering adventures! Visit Arches National Park, home to over 2000 arches, and Canyonlands National Park where the Green river meets the Colorado in some of the most spectacular scenery the southwest has to offer. Swap tales of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid who used the canyons to hide from the law in the late 1800's, at the local bar and enjoy a sunset BBQ overlooking the Maze district of Canyonlands. Mountain bike the famous slick rock or raft down the Colorado River-either way this destination sure is action packed!

Day 7 Mesa Verde National Park

Step back in time and experience some Colorado history as you enjoy some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world, it offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years.

Day 8 Monument Valley

Now that you are in the cowboy mood we take you to one of the most iconic western movie locations on the planet. Home to the Navajo Indians and one of the most famous landscapes in the Southwest USA we hop on a 4X4 jeep and take an included overnight adventure with a Navajo guide. Spend the night learning about Navajo culture around a camp fire before spending the night in a traditional Hogan dwelling. Waking up for a once in a lifetime sunrise we are getting an early start today!

Navajo taco dinner and breakfast included. Bring your own marshmallows!

Day 9 Cowboy Camp and Lake Powell

Dust of your cowboy boots and practice your Yeehaw's as we head to a secluded cowboy camp. After a much needed cooling down in Lake Powell, take a western style horseback ride or a short desert hike and get ready for a real life cowboy adventure!
