The American Southwest has long been one of the most consistently beautiful places in not just America, but the world. This was still considered the frontier not more than a century ago, and the landscapes remain as wild and adventurous as ever. From the most magnificent national parks in the Southwestern United States is Zion, Bryce, and The Grand Canyon.
This 5-day RV road trip will encompass those three parks in an unearthly camping experience.
Our group will be traveling with three 2018 bunkhouse RVs, which each one has six separate beds. (Linen is included).
The day trips will be visiting different National Parks each day and taking 3-4 hr. moderate hikes carrying daypacks with lunch and water. Nights will be camping in our RVs in various campgrounds in the region.
