The Iconic Delicate Arch in Arches Natl Park
The Iconic Delicate Arch in Arches Natl Park

Embarking on an adventure to Utah's Mighty 5—Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef National Parks—promises an exhilarating experience filled with stunning landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and unforgettable outdoor activities. Zion National Park, with its towering red cliffs and spectacular canyons, will take your breath away. Exploring the Virgin River and experiencing The Narrows and its stunning surroundings, hiking the iconic Angels Landing, where the panoramic views of the canyon reward your effort with breathtaking vistas. If you’re looking for a more leisurely option, the Riverside Walk offers a picturesque stroll alongside the river. In Bryce Canyon National Park, famous for its unique hoodoos—tall, thin spires of rock—you’ll want to explore the various viewpoints along the Bryce Canyon Scenic Drive. You can hike the Navajo Loop Trail to get up close to the striking rock formations. As you stand among the hoodoos, the vibrant colors are especially enchanting at sunrise and sunset. At night you'll want to get out and marvel at the incredible night sky. In Arches National Park, home to over 2,000 natural stone arches, you'll want to hike to the iconic Delicate Arch - the trail offers a moderate challenge but rewards you with stunning views of this famous symbol of Utah. You can explore other easy trails like the Windows Section and Double Arch or travel Arches National Park Scenic Drive, a stunning route that spans approximately 18 miles through the park, showcasing its unique and extraordinary rock formations, natural arches, and breathtaking landscapes.  In Canyonlands National Park, visit the Island in the Sky district, where breathtaking views of the Colorado River and vast canyons await. Hike to Mesa Arch for stunning sunrise views, and then spend some time exploring the Grand View Point. And last but certainly not least, Capitol Reef National Park, known for its unique rock formations and fruit orchards offers a blend of beauty and history. Enjoy a scenic drive along the Capitol Reef Scenic Byway, stopping to explore the historic Fruita area and taste fresh fruit in season. Hike to the Hickman Bridge or explore the Chimney Rock trail for incredible views. 


I have personally experienced each of these parks and promise you that a journey through Utah’s Mighty 5 is more than just a road trip; it's an unforgettable adventure filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, thrilling hikes, and moments of solitude in nature. Whether you're seeking adrenaline-pumping activities or peaceful retreats, this diverse region offers something for everyone. Each park boasts its unique beauty and charm, ensuring your trip will create lasting memories. Whether you are looking for an exciting family adventure or a trip with friends or on your own, you won't be disappointed.  You can visit just one, a few, or all five of these parks in one trip, and I can help you plan the perfect itinerary to make the most of the time you spend there.  Let's start planning your adventure today!

My Reviews

An Unbelievable Journey through Europe
Rebecca planned all the details for my husband's and my 10th wedding anniversary trip to Europe. We spent 5 weeks driving through German, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal. It was the most amazing trip we've ever done. And her guidance and her organization of all the parts and pieces of the trip were incredible. Would highly recommend her and will most certainly use her for our next trip

The National Parks are just awe-inspiring, aren't they?? It was so much fun to plan this trip for you and relive some of my own experienced in the Mighty 5 and all the other Parks you were able to visit. I hope, like me, it will remain one of your fondest travel memories! Thanks for letting me be a part of the planning! It was great working with you and I look forward to planning your next National Parks adventure!

Wow - Just Wow!!!
Unbelievable trip to Alaska. She planned everything from flights, accommodations, tours (and let me tell you the tours were unbelievable). We saw and experienced so much, and we can't wait to have her plan another trip for us!

So glad it was everything you were hoping for. Not everyone can say they've landed in a helicopter on a glacier and then hiked the glacier! And the fact that you were fortunate enough to get to see all of Denali was amazing. I too can't wait to plan your next vacation for you!
