Long weekend, took extra day off and boarded flight to Las vegas to explore - Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Our Itinerary -> Las Vegas -Bryce Canyon National Park - Monument Valley - Zion National Park - Las Vegas

We reached Las Vegas late night, took our rental car and drove to our hotel. We had already been to Las Vegas earlier and this time we are focusing on visiting the best national park in Utah. We drove from las Vegas to Bryce Canyon, it took 5 hours with two stop in between.

Day 1 -We entered Bryce Canyon at noon. We visited Inspiration Point, Bryce Point, and Rainbow Point and then hiked the Queens Garden and Navajo Loop Trails.

Day 2 - Started early morning for sunrise point - did a hike at Rim Trail and watched sunrise. After breakfast we drove 5 hours to visit Monument valley Navajo tribal park. It is located on Utah-Arizona border and part of Colorado plateau. We did the scenic drive (17-mile loop) inside the park and drove to Forrest Gump point. After visiting Monument Valley, we drove to Wahweap RV & Campground where we spent our night camping.

Day 3 - Next day we drove to Zion National park after stopping at many view-point and scenic spot on the way. After entering Zion National park we did short and spectacular Canyon Overlook trail and thereafter we drove the park scenic road till Springdale, where we booked our campground.

Day 4 - We started early morning and did Angel Landing hike, the most awaited and unforgettable adventurous trek. It took half day to complete the strenuous trek, it all worth the view. There is one more hike called the Narrows, which we wanted to include in our itinerary but unfortunately due to lack of time we postponed for future. After lunch we drove 2 hours back to las Vegas to catch our flight home.
