Make the days work
A canyon-country loop, with room to choose
The saved plan includes busy transfer days and permit-dependent alternatives. Choose one main outing on those days; The Wave needs its own permitted wilderness day. Both website loops visit the South Rim and use Nevada gateway stops.
Move the base with the route
The committed website plans do not select individual overnight properties. The stays below are regional alternatives, with wider curation groups that include remote settings.

Your 7-day route at a glance
Explore Utah & ArizonaStart with this expert-curated route, then customize the days and stops in your trip. Stays below are suggestions; availability depends on your dates.
Day 1Arrival and Zion approachZion
Plan the day: Use arrival day for car pickup and the drive to Springdale. Choose Valley of Fire only with spare daylight; a full Narrows outing is not a reliable arrival-day commitment.
If plans change: Keep the main-canyon introduction short. The saved day heading mentions Subway, but its actual saved activity is the bottom-up Narrows.
Things to do
- Valley Of Fire1-2hOptional add-on
- Zion Canyon Scenic Drive2-4h
- The Narrows (Bottom Up)1-8hOptional add-on
Stays in Springdale
Day 2One main Zion hikeZion
Plan the day: Choose Angels Landing only with a permit and suitable comfort with exposure. Emerald Pools is a shorter alternative or add-on if the accessible route and remaining time fit.
If plans change: The day heading mentions the Narrows, but the saved list is Angels Landing and Emerald Pools. Use the actual activity links; keep river walking to a separate suitable day.
Things to do
- Angels Landing4-5h
- Emerald Pools1-2hOptional add-on
Stays in Springdale
Day 3Bryce, with one substantial walkBryce
Plan the day: Move to Bryce and choose the Figure Eight or a lighter viewpoint day. The full scenic drive and full moon program are additional choices, not a guaranteed evening sequence.
If plans change: Snow, ice or a missed program reservation can change the day. Keep amphitheater viewpoints that are accessible.
Things to do
- Inspiration Point20m
- Figure Eight Trail3h
- Bryce Point20mOptional add-on
- Bryce Scenic Drive1-2hOptional add-on
- Full Moon Hike2-3hOptional add-on
Day 4Page: a tour or wilderness dayPage
Plan the day: Transfer toward Page and build around the booked Antelope Canyon departure. The Wave needs a permit and its own strenuous wilderness day, so it is an alternative requiring another night.
If plans change: Without The Wave permit, choose Page-area stops that fit the tour, conditions and daylight.
Things to do
- The Wave2-3hOptional add-on
- Lone Rock Beach10mOptional add-on
- Glen Canyon Dam30mOptional add-on
- Antelope Canyon2-4h
- Horseshoe Bend1h
Day 5South Rim arrivalGrand Canyon
Plan the day: Travel from Page toward the South Rim, choosing the tribal gorge stop only if open and worthwhile for your timing. Keep a rim walk on arrival; a South Kaibab descent is a separate decision.
If plans change: Choose Mather Point or a short rim section when the transfer uses the available daylight.
Things to do
- Little Colorado River Gorge15mOptional add-on
- South Rim Trail1-6h
- South Kaibab Trail3-5hOptional add-on
Stays in Grand Canyon South Rim
Day 6A Grand Canyon walking dayGrand Canyon
Plan the day: Pick a sensible Bright Angel turnaround and allow the uphill return. A rim-to-river-and-back day is discouraged by NPS; source duration is not a safe turnaround plan.
If plans change: Use the rim when heat, ice, closures or group ability make a descent unsuitable.
Things to do
- Bright Angel Trail6-10h
Stays in Grand Canyon South Rim
Day 7Return to the Nevada gatewayLas Vegas
Plan the day: The South Rim-to-Las Vegas return is a substantial travel day. Keep car return and airport check-in separate from any dam or helicopter detour.
If plans change: Drop the helicopter and dam when the flight or road journey leaves no margin.
Things to do
- Mather Point30mOptional add-on
- Hoover Dam15mOptional add-on
- Canyon Heli Tour4hOptional add-on
