Bryce Zion Two Parks Day Trip from Las Vegas





π― Why People Book This
πΊοΈ The Experience
π€ Is It Worth It?
- You want both Bryce and Zion but only have one day to spare for Utah
- The idea of driving mountain roads for 8+ hours sounds miserable
- You'd rather pay extra to avoid researching park logistics and timing
- 13 hours on a coach sounds exhausting (you'll get maybe 3-4 hours actual park time)
- You prefer exploring one park properly over rushing through two
- You'd rather see varied landscapes (hoodoos and canyons) than focus on slot canyon photography

π‘ Insider Tip
LasVegasTour Editorial Review
βWhat you're really buying here is two parks in one box, which means most of your thirteen hours is windshield time. The stops prove it: 30 minutes at Zion's visitor center, 10 at Checkerboard Mesa, 90 inside Bryce. That's an introduction to both, not a day in either. Worth the long drive for first-timers who want to say they saw them; skippable if you'd rather give one park a real day. The 4.7 from 2,664 reviews says the operator runs the long haul reliably.β

β Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tour visit both Zion and Bryce Canyon in one day?βΎ
Yes. This is a 13-hour day trip from Las Vegas that visits both parks. At Zion, stops include the Zion Canyon Visitor Center (about 30 minutes) and Checkerboard Mesa (about 10 minutes), with a drive along the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway. You then have about 90 minutes at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Are park admission fees included in the price?βΎ
Bryce and Zion admission is included for legal U.S. residents with a valid government-issued ID. Non-U.S. residents pay an additional entrance fee of USD 100.00 per park, per person, collected in-destination rather than at booking.
Is hotel pickup included?βΎ
Hotel pickup is available, or you can meet at the start point at Treasure Island in the Tour Bus Area on MystΓ¨re Dreams Ave, near the parking garage. For alternate locations, contact National Park Express. Note that during the Formula 1 Las Vegas event (Nov 20β22), pickups are limited to Excalibur, Park MGM, or Treasure Island.
What's included with the Madame Tussauds bonus ticket?βΎ
All bookings as of May 13 receive admission tickets to Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas at no additional cost. Tickets can be redeemed one day before your tour date and up to three days after. Redeem them through the tour confirmation email and SMS from National Park Express, and contact the operator if you have issues. The facts don't specify what the Madame Tussauds admission itself covers beyond entry.
How much walking is involved at each park?βΎ
The tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels. At Bryce Canyon you have about 90 minutes and can stroll along the rim or hike among the hoodoos, so the amount of walking is largely up to you. The stops at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and Checkerboard Mesa are shorter viewpoint stops. Specific distances are not stated; confirm with the operator if walking is a concern.
Is lunch provided during the tour?βΎ
Yes. A deli sandwich box lunch and a granola bar are included. You also receive one bottle of water; bring additional water if you need it.
