Good morning

Good evening

"I love introducing our guests to my big outdoor playground of Utah and watching them reconnect with nature among all the towering mesas, rugged mountains, giant canyons and magical rock formations".

Travel Director

Take a scenic drive along an "All American Road"

Embark on the road trip of a lifetime on our Utah trips when we journey to the hiking haven of Kodachrome Basin State Park along the legendary Scenic Byway 12. This All American Road is one of the world’s most beautiful on earth, lined with orange hoodoos, rock archways, pine forests and sweeping vistas at every twist and turn. 

Visit the Canyonlands National Park

You’ll feel like you’re dreaming as you look out over the Colorado River carving through the surreal desert landscape and flat-topped mesas of Canyonlands National Park. We’ll head to the top of the Island in the Sky for spectacular views over the landscape, plus take on the scenic hikes to Whale Rock, Grand View Point Overlook and Green River Overlook.

Explore the Bryce Canyon National Park

Filled with vast amphitheatres and ethereal hoodoos, Bryce Canyon National Park must be Mother Nature’s showground. We’ll venture into the otherworldly landscapes of rusty red spires and carved plateaus, with plenty of stunning hiking paths and viewpoints to choose from like the Rim Trail hiking path that takes you deep into this gravity-defying world.

Hike to Grand View Point Overlook

As you look out over the incredible red rock formations of Arches National Park, you can’t help but wonder if this was once a giant’s sculpture playground. We’ll take you deep into these striking landscapes, embarking on a scenic hike to reach one of the most iconic Utah attractions - the Delicate Arch - so beautifully carved out by nature’s magic touch.

Wander around the Zion National Park

You’ll tick off one of the very best destinations in Utah on our trip to Zion National Park, an enchanting land of soaring red cliffs, lush forest trails, coursing rivers and the fairytale oasis of waterfalls and hanging gardens at Emerald Pools. We’ll let you in on all the best hikes in the park, including the Watchmen Trail, Angel’s Landing and Hidden Canyon.

Our top 5 things to do in Utah

The whole state is an incredible natural paradise, and we’ll show you all the best things to do in Utah from the national parks to the top scenic drives and hikes.

Natural History Museum of Utah

This incredible museum tells the story of Utah’s natural history through more than 1.5 million objects and specimens, starting at the prehistoric bedrock and moving on to giant dinosaur fossils and fascinating artefacts from the first peoples. The museum building is an architectural marvel in itself, and you can’t miss this museum when in Salt Lake City.

Utah Museum of Fine Arts

This superb museum of fine arts showcases nearly 20,000 original works of art and you can spend hours wandering the halls with everything from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces. Discover artworks from India, Mesoamerica and Polynesia and marvel at a Europe collection of works from the 14th to 19th centuries.

Church History Museum

Dedicated to the spiritual and cultural legacy of the Latter-day Saints Church, this Utah museum is filled with artworks, photographs, clothing, tools and furniture spanning almost two centuries of Mormon church history. You can even view the seer stone used by Joseph Smith to produce the Book of Mormon and the first edition printing press.

Best museums in Utah

It may be big on the outdoors, but some of the best places to visit in Utah are its museums, with everything from centuries-old church history to a superb collection of fine art.

Utah scones

Move over dainty British scones, and say hello to Utah scones, the deep-fried puffy delights smothered in powdered sugar and honey butter. Similar to beignets or Native American fry bread, these little pillows of hot fried dough are absolutely delicious, and they get even better when you dip it in the liquified butter melded with honey. Bliss!

Pastrami burger

Made from a beautiful blend of Greek, Jewish and American food cultures, the Pastrami burger is all Utah. Made with a charbroiled beef patty, shaved pastrami, melted cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and fry sauce (another local specialty), this is one of the best burgers you’ll taste in the whole country. 

Green Jello

Utah loves Jell-O. As the official state snack of Utah, the locals here eat more Jell-O than any other state in the US, and it’s renowned as a beloved dessert of the Mormons. Utah even holds a statewide Jell-O week every year to celebrate the jiggly treat, and you’ve just got to try some green Jell-O on your Utah vacations. 

Best food in Utah

After days spent hiking the stunning landscapes, your Utah travel guide will show you how to refuel Utah-style, from indulgent burgers to fried scones.

What to pack for Utah

Hiking shoes

With some of the country’s best hiking paths and national park trails, a reliable pair of hiking boots is a necessity for your Utah trip.

Home to some of the world’s darkest skies and several designated Dark Sky Parks, you’ll love stargazing in Utah and a star chart will help identify the twinkling constellations.

Camera & extra SD card

You’ll need your camera when you meet Tom Till, a renowned national park photographer, who will show you how to take the best photos to remember your Utah vacations.

Portable charger

With hours spent exploring the spectacular Utah national parks, be sure to bring a portable charger to keep your devices going all day.

Bring a lightweight backpack to store your water bottle, snacks, sunscreen and keep your hands free on all your incredible Utah hikes.

Utah travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Where is Utah?

Utah is a landlocked state in the Western United States. Its neighboring states include Wyoming to the north, Arizona to the south, Colorado to the east and Nevada to the west.

How do I get to Utah?

Getting to Utah is relatively easy with a number of different transportation options available.

These include flying into one of their seven commercial airports such as Salt Lake City International Airport and Provo Municipal Airport, embarking on a road trip from one of the neighboring states, or catching public transport in the form of a bus or a train with several routes taking you to various destinations within the state. 

How far is Utah from California?

If you were to drive from California to Utah, it would take you roughly 12 hours. If you'd prefer to fly, it'll take you just under 2 hours from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City.

Getting around Utah

While Utah also has a good bus and train system between Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo, you'll struggle to get around if you want to venture further.

Joining a tour or driving is the way to go as you'll be able to see way more. Driving around Utah is fairly straightforward as major highways are easy to navigate and well-maintained.

What is the weather like in Utah?

Utah has a dry, semi-arid and desert climate. This means summers are very hot (although it's a dry heat as humidity is very low) and winters are cold. In fact, Utah is one of the driest states in the USA. Despite the desert-like climate, Utah still experiences four distinct seasons with heavy snowfall in the north.

What do I pack for Utah?

What to pack for Utah depends on what time of the year you're traveling in. Regardless of the season, there are some items you should always pack.

Some of these items include sensible and comfortable walking shoes (most likely, you'll be doing a lot of hiking during your time in Utah), a sun hat or cap, and some sunscreen (especially in summer).

If you're traveling in winter, pack trousers, sweaters, waterproof jackets, and thick coats to keep yourself warm.

When is the best time to visit Utah?

The best time to visit Utah is generally in May, September or October as you'll avoid large crowds and extreme temperatures. However, with four distinct seasons and lots of activities on offer, it really depends on the type of trip you want to have.

Utah has a dry, semi-arid and desert climate with sizzling summers that often exceed 100°F and freezing winters — particularly in northern Utah which gets an average of 13 metres of snow per year. However, as one of the driest states due to low humidity, the heat and cold are more palatable than other states.

What is the internet access like in Utah?

Most of Utah's national parks have reception areas or tourist hubs where wi-fi access is available. However, if you're hiking through the parks or you've stopped at a high-altitude viewpoint, you probably won't be able to get cell phone data coverage.

Does my trip support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partners, Eden Reforestation Projects and World Bicycle Relief. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Eden Reforestation Projects

Donations from our trips support restoration across planting sites in 10 countries around the globe. Find out more or make a donation World Bicycle Relief

Depart Salt Lake City for Canyonlands National Park & Dead Horse Point State Park

Photo Above: Red Cliffs Lodge

We’ll pick you up in Salt Lake City and begin our drive through the Wasatch mountains toward the incredible canyons of Southern Utah.  The first National Park on the docket is Canyonlands. This remote and intriguing wilderness hosts high plateaus, buttes, and mesas carved out by life-giving rivers that now lie far below. We’ll witness it all in the district known as “Island in the Sky” where we’ll hike to outstanding viewpoints.

Next we’ll stop at Dead Horse Point State Park for an incredible overlook of the mighty Colorado River.  This unique landscape has been featured in many movies and television shows such as “Thelma & Louise” and HBO’s recent series “Westworld”.

This evening we’ll arrive at our lodge in Moab and enjoy a group dinner.

Driving Time:  4 Hours Hiking:  3+ miles | Minimal elevation gain 2024 Accommodation: Red Cliffs Lodge or similar in Moab. 2025 Accommodation:  TBD

Hiking in Arches National Park – Afternoon in Moab

After a fresh breakfast included at your lodge, get ready to explore the largest concentration of natural sandstone arches in the world. Arches National Park is home to over 2,000 of these formations which have been sculpted from the rock by the erosive forces of wind and water. We’ll see the Windows, Double Arch, and take a 3-mile round-trip trek to the infamous Delicate Arch.

“A weird, lovely, fantastic object out of nature like Delicate Arch has the curious ability to remind us—like rock and sunlight and wind and wilderness—that out there is a different world, older and greater and deeper by far than ours” – Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

We’ll stop at the visitor center in Arches before heading to Moab where you’ll have an opportunity to wander around this unique Southwest town for a couple of hours. We’ll then head back to the lodge to relax for the rest of the night.

Driving Time: Local Hiking:  3-5 miles | 700+ feet elevation gain 2024 Accommodation: Red Cliffs Lodge or similar in Moab. 2025 Accommodation:  TBD

Explore Goblin Valley & Capitol Reef National Park

This morning we have a 2 hour drive to the “alien-like” landscape of Goblin Valley State Park. This playground of rock is a guest favorite with it’s unique hoodoos—known locally as goblins—that are scattered over a former tidal plain. We’ll continue the scenic drive toward Capitol Reef National Park, named for white sandstone domes and rocky cliffs that form a barrier along a wrinkle in the surface of the Earth.

Capitol Reef National Park includes 241,904 acres of amazing red rock formations, cliffs, canyons and natural bridges. Due to the remote location, its the least visited of Utah’s National Parks, making it a rare treasure! This evening we’ll arrive to our lodge just outside of Capitol Reef National Park.

Driving Time: 3.5 Hours Hiking:  2-3 miles | 400+ feet elevation gain Accommodation: Red Sands Hotel or similar near Torrey, Utah

Witness the Hoodoos of Bryce Canyon & hike Queen’s Garden/Navajo Loop

This morning after breakfast we’ll depart for Bryce Canyon National Park. Stand on the rim overlooking the Bryce Amphitheater and watch the sun slowly rise over sandstone spires, painting them orange. We’ll then venture into the basin getting up close to the otherworldly hoodoos on “The world’s best 3-mile hike”.  This trail is rated as moderate and is a wonderful way to view a variety of geology, flora, & fauna.

Later in the day we’ll head to our lodge just outside of Zion National Park. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the property before we have an incredible dinner at one of our local favorite restaurants.

Driving Time: 3 Hours Hiking:  3-4 miles | 600+ feet elevation gain Accommodation: Driftwood Lodge or similar

Towering Sandstone Cliffs & Virgin River Oasis of Zion National Park – Return to Salt Lake City

Today we explore our 5 th  National Park in 5 days, Zion National Park! Known as “Mukuntuweap” by the Southern Paiute, red cliff walls tower 2000 feet above the lush canyon floor as the Virgin River winds peacefully through. Having once carved out the surrounding landscape, the river now nourishes serene cottonwood groves and golden meadows where deer and turkey forage.

After several hours of optional hiking and exploring, we depart from Zion National Park and begin our return 4.5-hour drive to Salt Lake City.

*Due to weather variability, we refer to the conditions provided by Mother Nature when deciding which hike will be preferred. Potential activities include: Upper Emerald Pools, Observation Point, The Narrows or similar.

MORE ABOUT UTAH HIKING VACATIONS

Why a utah national park hiking tour.

Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Paria Slot Canyons…these are big name, big adventure, big WOW hiking destinations! Probably, the question should be “why not a Utah hiking vacation?” but let’s focus on why to do one. First, you get to see the very best of Utah’s Canyon Country, which essentially offers an endless number of fantastic options. Second, Wildland Trekking takes care of nearly everything so you can focus 100% on hiking and enjoying Utah’s stunning national parks. You can travel light, as we provide gear and meals; and you can travel worry-free as we handle permits, local transportation, accommodations and more. Third, you will learn a tremendous amount about Utah’s fascinating natural and cultural history – more than you can easily learn on your own.

Finally, going with a professional Utah guiding company like Wildland Trekking provides a higher level of safety in a landscape with plenty of dangers and hazards. This is particularly true on Utah backpacking trips , where our groups head way off the beaten path into the wilderness of the Canyon Country. Knowing the routes, water sources, wildlife, logistics of drop-offs and pick-ups, how to tread through the Utah landscape with the smallest amount of impact, and more are all critical aspects of responsible backcountry travel . Backpacking with expert guides is a solid way to check all of these boxes in one motion.

Even on Bryce and Zion hiking and walking tours there are hazards that a good guide company will help you navigate. These include everything from lightning and flash flooding to simply traveling in a group and with a local expert, particularly if you’d otherwise be traveling solo.

which trip style to join?

With 6 major destinations and 4 trip styles (backpacking trips, inn-based hiking tours, basecamp tours, and day hikes), there’s a lot to choose from in Utah! Above we talk about where to go, so here let’s talk about what type of trip to do. Utah backpacking trips are great for people who want to experience the wild side of Utah and challenge themselves in canyon country wilderness. These trips take guests to amazing, backcountry oases, arches, stunning vistas, and fascinating geological sites. Utah camping tours and inn-based tours combine a diversity of exceptional hikes into a single hiking package, with either tent camping or canyon country lodges/hotels/inns as our accommodations. If you prefer comfort more, we recommend an inn-based tour; if you prefer more of an outdoor experience, then check out the basecamp tours. Finally, we offer day hikes in Zion National Park for guests who want to make the most of their time in Zion and are limited on time. Feel free to call us at 800-715-HIKE with any other questions you have!

which utah destination to go with?

We offer many options for an unforgettable Utah hiking trip. Zion and Bryce hiking tours , and Arches National Park tours are for people who want to see the famous sites, explore the source of the amazing Instagram pictures online, and be awed by Utah’s natural scenery. Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase-Escalante , Canyonlands, and Paria Slot Canyons are for people who want to get more off-the-beaten-path and explore the wilder, more remote side of Utah. Many of our tours feature multiple parks, which allow you to combine the highlights of Utah’s most popular national parks with more obscure and remote destinations. (In Paria and Capitol Reef we exclusively offer backpacking trips that are centered on those specific areas.)

zion and bryce hiking tours

Zion and Bryce hiking tours are opportunities to explore and experience the most popular destinations in Utah on one tour. Wildland offers four amazing hiking vacation packages that combine these quintessential national parks into a single tour. The Best of Utah Basecamp Tour, which is a hiking and camping experiences of Zion and Bryce plus the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The Best of Utah Inn-based Tour combines the same national parks and hikes but with amazing accommodations that put us right in the action. Our Zion and Bryce 4-day Tour is exactly that – a 4-day tour to see the best of these national parks in one, relatively short, lodge-based tour. And, last but definitely not least, is our Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon Tour which is also inn-based, and combines Zion and Bryce plus the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park into one action-packed hiking experience.

when to hike in utah

Utah’s Canyon Country, including Zion and Bryce, is really great for trekking and walking vacations year round. However, which type of trip you want to join will depend on when you’d like to visit. In the Spring and Fall, all trips – backpacking trips, inn-based tours, basecamp tours – are fantastic! These months include March, April, May, September, October and November. In the summer and winter, due to peaks in heat and cold, we recommend sticking with lodge-based tours. Average temps in Utah’s Canyon Country are displayed in the table below:
