Utah & National Parks Ski Safari

Arrive in Salt Lake City, then it's a 35-minute transfer to Park City.

Park City Mountain Resort is the largest ski area in the USA. With its historic town and a wide choice of accommodation from cheaper hotels to luxury condos, it tends to be the most popular base for skiing. 10 nights in the resort is the best value as the hotels often offer 2 free nights and the Epic Local Lift pass is a similar price for 10 days or 5 days skiing. We can, however, combine this with a Snowbird or Powder Mountain stay and skiing in Deer Valley is also possible.

Transfer back to the airport to collect your car, as you don't need it in Park City and it's only a 30 minute detour. For a supplement, you can keep the car for the duration of the holiday. It's a 4 hour drive to Bryce Canyon and you can make a scenic detour past the lakes and Big Rock Candy Mountain. You should aim to get to Bryce by 1 or 2 pm, so the sun is at its zenith for the hike into the canyon, which is really easy and suitable for 5+ yrs. Stay 2 nights in Bryce.

The drive to Zion National Park is one the most scenic drives you'll ever do. It's only 2.5 hrs to Springdale, however, you should aim to spend the day doing this journey with plenty of photo stops in Red Canyon and at the Pink Corral Sand Dunes (great to snowboard on), then make the most of the viewpoint stops as you descend into Zion National Park.

There is so much to do in Zion you could spend a week here (hiking, biking, climbing, canyoneering, horse-riding), especially at Easter when the temps can reach 25⁰C. Springdale Town is lovely and a great base to explore the area.

It's a 5-hour drive back to Salt Lake City for an evening flight, which is the cheapest way and avoids any drop-off fee on the car.

For an extra special end to your trip, fly home via Las Vegas for a night or two in 'The Entertainment Capital of the World'.
