Five Different Itineraries for the ULTIMATE 7 Day Southwest Road Trip

Lincoln Travel Co.

If you’re completely open and just want to see magnificent sights, I’ve put together FIVE different itineraries that I think offer a great bang for your buck.

Some of these itineraries cover different areas, and some cover less ground, some will be a whirlwind, some might feel more like a vacation than a trip spent “touring.”

The final destination for the day is to check into your hotel in the Zion area so you could either drive straight from Las Vegas to Virgin/Springdale and maybe even squeeze half a day at Zion National Park in OR you could have a nice breakfast in Las Vegas and opt for a stop at Valley of Fire State Park on the way.

Day 1: Arrive in Vegas // Valley of Fire State Park // Virgin, UT

This is your full day to spend at Zion National Park. With one full day, you’ll definitely want to do one of the park’s two most famous hikes: The Narrows or Angels Landing.

Day 2: Zion National Park // Hike the Narrows or Angels Landing

From Virgin, it’s about 2.25 hours to Bryce Canyon National Park, but I would break it up with an early morning hike at the Zion Canyon Overlook.

Day 3: Zion Canyon Overlook Hike // Bryce Canyon National Park

Antelope Canyon is one of the most jaw droppingly iconic sites in the American Southwest and it’s the most famous slot canyon in the world.

Day 4: Page, AZ // Antelope Canyon // Horseshoe Bend

The south rim of the Grand Canyon is the most popular spot for most visitors to the Grand Canyon. From Flagstaff, it’s just a bit over an hour drive to get to the south rim.

Day 5: Grand Canyon South Rim
