6 Days, 5 Nights: From Arches to Zion — Utah's Mighty 5 with Teton Excursions.
Teton Excursions leads a six-day sweep through Utah’s celebrated national parks, an itinerary that threads Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce, Zion and other redrock landmarks into a single, full-service trip that ends in Las Vegas. The operator provides guided interpretation, raised-roof transportation, scopes and binoculars, and picnic lunches while the route stages sunsets and sunrises across iconic viewpoints.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A coast-to-coast corridor through Utah’s signature parks
Over six days the itinerary moves from a Grand Junction approach into Moab, then through Arches and Canyonlands, on to Dead Horse Point and Capitol Reef, across Escalante to Bryce and Zion, and finally past the Valley of Fire to Las Vegas—each day keyed to major viewpoints and short guided explorations.
Full-service field logistics
The trip includes raised-roof sightseeing transportation, professional spotting scopes and binoculars for each traveler, six breakfasts and six picnic-style lunches, all-day running-water bathrooms, and field guides to support interpretation in the parks.
Sunrises, sunsets and concentrated viewing
The schedule deliberately catches sunset and sunrise opportunities and layers short drives with guided stops so travelers experience the defining light and vistas of each park without long, unsupported treks.
What the day feels like
What the six-day flow feels like

The operator runs the trip as a full-service sequence that culminates in Las Vegas; the schedule is adjustable on request to fit traveler needs.
