America's Canyon Country 13 DAY SEVEN: Escalante-Grand Staircase and Bryce Canyon National Park A memorable day begins on Utah's incredible Highway 12 Scenic Byway, winding through spectacular Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. Reaching the famed "Pink Cliffs" of Bryce Canyon National Park, you will follow the Rim Drive to view vividly colored, fantastic rock forms approximating castles, temples, even whole cities sculptured in stone! Later, we'll motor through the slickrock canyons and historic tunnel of Zion National Park, and soon check in for two nights in Springdale. (B) DAY EIGHT: Zion National Park Today features awe-inspiring Zion National Park, where the Virgin River has cut a dramatic rugged gorge through multi-hued sandstone, shale and limestone. You will look up at the towering rock walls surrounding us on all sides as we tour this incredible natural wonder aboard open-air sightseeing trams, plus enjoy time for exploring on your own or shopping in picturesque Springdale. Tonight's farewell dinner will be served at a lodge.
