Helpful Hints
From the Zion Lodge, cross the road for a walk along the Virgin River. This flat trail is usually a much less crowded and less strenuous option then the area’s hiking trails.

In Bryce Canyon, get great pictures of the most famous hoodoo – Thor’s Hammer – with a short but steep walk down the hill from Sunset Point.

If you’re looking for a souvenir, check out the sandstone arch decorations available at Old Bryce Town or in souvenir shops throughout Moab.

Don’t miss the historic fireplace in Bright Angel Lodge at the Grand Canyon, created in 1935 and featuring all of the rock layers of the Grand Canyon.

Preferred seating may not be available on group air. In some cases, seats are not assigned until the airport. Your tour fare includes an economy seat on the flight; it does not include seat selection. Seat upgrades may be available at an additional cost.

To help make our tours the most comfortable in the business, we limit Sunrise Tours motorcoaches to 80% capacity, or 44 passengers on a coach built for 55. We reserve the right to amend this practice.

Your Tour Director will rotate seats on the motorcoach each day of your tour. A single fare does not guarantee two seats on the coach; you may be seated next to another friendly Sunrise Tours guest.
