This flexible fly-drive through Utah's and Arizona's National & State Parks has been designed for those travellers and families that like to include a wide range of adventures and experiences in their holiday.

Start in Salt Lake City where you can explore museums, the Great Salt Lake State Park and generally enjoy time in the great outdoors before heading off on your adventure through the deserts and canyons of Utah and Arizona. Take a Jeep Safari through the exquisitely beautiful Zion National Park, explore eerie ghost towns and float down the Virgin River on a giant inflatable inner-tube. Drive through Ponderosa Pine Forests on an ATV to the edge of Bryce Canyon famous for its crimson coloured rock formations.

Walk through the base of the spectacular petrified sand dune of Antelope Canyon, wandering through the narrow passageways eroded by running water over thousands of years. Take a 4WD tour of Monument Valley, the back drop to many Wild West Movies, and ride in to the sunset on horseback like a cowboy.

Explore one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, The Grand Canyon. Take time to stop off at the many view and vantage points and then take to the skies in a helicopter for a bird's eye view of this breath-taking natural creation. Your tour ends in a city that is a complete contract to the wide open spaces you have travelled through over the last 8 days, Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps. A full day can be enjoyed experiencing this crazy city and the attractions it has become so famous for.
