After breakfast we head out on a lovely hike through Red Canyon, Bryce's lesser-known cousin. The peaceful trails are exceptionally scenic, with vermilion-colored rock formations, stands of Ponderosa pines and red sandstone spires dotting the scene. We then bid farewell to Bryce Canyon and say hello to Zion National Park! Reunite with your bike and set off, pedaling beneath towering sandstone walls that shift from rose to rust in the sunlight. As the road winds through narrow canyons, be amazed at the sheer scale of Zion. After descending into Zion, pedal through the small town of Springdale at the park's edge and continue to Rockville.
From here, shuttle to our next home—Under Canvas Zion—or, if you're up for a climb, keep biking all the way there. After you settle in, head to the dining area of our glamping oasis for dinner at your leisure.
