6-Day VIP National Parks Tour from Las Vegas: Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Grand Teton & Yellowstone
A six-day loop from Las Vegas that stitches together the Southwest’s redrock wonders and the subalpine drama of the Tetons and Yellowstone. Expect long drives, early starts and unforgettable natural highlights—slot canyons, hoodoos, geysers and valley wildlife.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early each day
Pickups are typically around 6:00 a.m.; mornings offer cooler temperatures and better light at popular overlooks.
Hydrate for altitude and heat
Carry at least 2 liters of water for stops—elevations vary from ~3,700 ft at Antelope Canyon to ~7,000 ft on the Grand Canyon rim.
Footwear for varied terrain
Wear broken-in hiking shoes with good traction for brief walks on uneven overlooks and boardwalks in thermal areas.
Give wildlife space
In Yellowstone and Grand Teton, stay in the vehicle or on marked trails and maintain large distances—animals are unpredictable.
