This was an absolutely amazing trip! Each park we visited was unique and beautiful with endless opportunities for photos. There were different hikes to choose from at most locations so we could opt for easy to more challenging, with most excursions lasting about 2 hours. The tour was well organized and camping under the stars added that extra oomph! Our guide Christian was wonderful -- funny, enthusiastic, caring and very knowledgeable. We did so much in the short 3 days. I'd highly recommend this trip!

Unforgettable moments despite getting up early ;). In each national park there are routes of different levels (easy, medium, difficult). Water refill stations are available in all parks. So many highlights in 3 days. i.a. fantastic camping at Monument Valley with a magnificent sunrise. Thank you to the whole team at Bindlestiff Tours and especially to our super amazing tour guide Chloe!!!

Este tour me pareció fascinate, aún tengo imagenes del viaje en rodando en mi cabeza. Esta experiencia me permitió coincidir con viajeros de todo el mundo, disfrutar de amaneceres y atardeceres espectaculares y contar con una güía cualificada Anie. Gracias, sin duda lo super recomiendo.

Zionin maisemat olivat upeat ja opas ystävällinen ja asiantunteva. Aikaa oli riittävästi valokuvien ottamiseen ja kävelyretkiin.

Amazing scenery over the 3 days. Get to see a lot in a short space of time. Great if like me you are short on time
