Canyonlands Tours -
Adventure Tour of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada
These
small group tours through the Canyon Lands take you to some of the nations most
famous sights.
Our Canyonlands tours combine all the greatest
highlights of the Grand Circle area with less known
natural wonders off the beaten path. The schedule below lists the highlights, but is subject to small changes.
There are many more stops included in this tour of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada than can be listed here. For
your convenience we will stay wherever possible more
than one night at the same hotel.
Your day will start around 8:00am and hotel check in is
usually between 6:00pm and 8:00pm in the evening.
Breakfasts are mostly included at the hotel, or with a
voucher for a nearby restaurant. You will get a
detailed schedule before departure. The Grand
Circle travel tour covers four states with driving times
between two to five hours a day in a comfortable
14-passenger van with reclining single seats and arm
rests. There are always frequent stops and activities
along the way. If you have any questions or would
like more information please contact us anytime.
