Itinerary
3 days / 2 nights – Starting and ending in Salt Lake City
This short but unforgettable escape gets you deep into the desert with just the right mix of activity and relaxation.
Day 1: Salt Lake City to Corona Arch via Potash Road
We depart from Salt Lake City at 8:00 AM, heading south into canyon country. After a scenic drive, we arrive by noon to tackle the beautiful Corona Arch Trail, a moderate hike with a massive payoff. The drive along Potash Road is equally spectacular—watch for rock climbers, ancient petroglyphs, and sweeping river views. We’ll arrive in Moab in the afternoon, settle in, and enjoy a group dinner (on your own) in town.
Day 2: Full Day in Arches National Park
Get ready for a day of natural wonders. From the Delicate Arch viewpoint to The Windows Section, Balanced Rock, and Double Arch, we’ll explore the most iconic sites and some lesser-known favorites. Expect plenty of photo ops, moderate hikes, and time to connect with the land.
Breakfast and lunch included.
Day 3: Canyonlands and Return to SLC
We wrap up the adventure with a visit to Canyonlands National Park – Island in the Sky District. Stand on the edge of Grand View Point, walk to Mesa Arch, and take in a final morning of peace in the desert. We begin our drive back to Salt Lake City around 2:00 PM, aiming to return by early evening.
Breakfast and lunch included.
