ROAD TRIP – ZION, BRYCE AND GRAND CANYON

ZION, BRYCE & GRAND CANYON ROAD TRIP

During the summer of 2019, we took a road trip we will always remember to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We started with a Little White Wedding Chapel vow renewal in Vegas and then headed through Zion, Bryce, Page, Grand Canyon, Sedona and Phoenix. It was an unforgettable trip and so special to share as a family. You can follow our itinerary in the posts below!

In summary, we took ten nights for the trip. This is the driving itinerary we planned. Our trip was a little longer because we added stops on both ends of the trip. If you need a shorter trip, it is very doable in fewer days without some the other extras. I highly recommend a road trip though Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon. Read more about it below.

  • DAY ONE – SAN DIEGO TO VEGAS
  • DAY TWO  – VEGAS TO ZION
  • DAY THREE – ZION
  • DAY FOUR – ZION TO BRYCE
  • DAY FIVE – BRYCE TO PAGE
  • DAY SIX – PAGE TO GRAND CANYON
  • DAY SEVEN – GRAND CANYON
  • DAY EIGHT – GRAND CANYON TO WILLIAMS TO SEDONA
  • DAY NINE – SEDONA TO PHOENIX
  • DAY TEN – PHOENIX TO HOME
