FALL BREAK ADVENTURE
2026 sign-up closed
Let’s go to Zion & Bryce National Parks
The first time you wind your way down a narrow slot canyon or walk up to the edge of a towering sandstone cliff it’ll get your attention >> Zion & Bryce National Parks in southern Utah are just begging to be explored > so we're going to explore as much of them as we can over fall-break. It’s about you & your friends creating new memories in wild & beautiful places.
We think this'll turn out to be two of your favorite places on earth.
THE DETAILS:
We'll leave Thursday @ 7am (your fall break) - Zion is just 6+ hours away.
We’ll do an afternoon hike in Zion on Thursday, camp out, then hike, explore, climb, & laugh our way through the park til the afternoon. We will head to Bryce Friday evening for the sunset & stay in a hotel. Saturday we will hike a slot canyon and the iconic Bryce trails and catch an epic sunset, then head towards our hotel in Kanab, Utah
We head home Sunday.
We’ll be camping 1 night in Zion (bathrooms available) + 2 nights in a hotel (breakfast included)
It’s a warmer year, but lows will still be in the 50’s - pack accordingly!
WHAT YOU NEED:
Cost $65 (cost will include: campground, 2 hotel nights, gas, park entrance fees)
Camping Gear:
Warm Sleeping Bag (sleeping pad & tent are optional) > if you need to borrow a sleeping bag let us know
We’ll bring a stove, fuel, pots & pans for you to cook > you need everything else.
Food/snacks - you're in charge of your own food - (there are stores & restaurants really close in Zion)
Money for food in Bryce & Kanab
