ABOUT THE ITINERARY
On this stunning challenge, we will descend into both the Grand Canyon and Zion Canyon located in one of Utah’s iconic National Parks where sheer red canyon walls and narrow slot canyons have earned the nickname “Yosemite dressed in red.” Zion Canyon is the total opposite to the Grand Canyon. At Grand Canyon you can stand on the edge and look down, but at Zion Canyon you will look up from the bottom to view the beautiful sandstones and red canyon slots. The views are unimaginable!
We end this incredible charity challenge in Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps!

PRICE INCLUDES
- Flights, accommodation and transfers. Based on two people travelling.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
