The Grand Circle Road Trip reveals some of Utah and Arizona’s most stunning scenery and allows you to experience some of the nation’s best national parks on one trip. Along the way enjoy staying in upscale safari-style tents located outside of five national parks and attractions along the route. Under Canvas Zion, Under Canvas Moab, Lake Powell – Grand Staircase, Under Canvas Bryce Canyon and Under Canvas Grand Canyon offer upscale accommodations, and culinary offerings in close proximity to the national parks included in the Grand Circle Tour.
All of our road trips are fully customisable and can be tailor-made to suit your own individual requirements. Please let your Discover North America travel specialist know if you would like to start in a different destination, use specific hotel accommodation or simply want to add an excursion or two. Do you have more or less than 15 days for your road trip? No problem, we can add extra nights to allow more time to explore or shorten the number of destinations as required.
As we can offer you such a flexible choice of flights & car rental, we don’t include these elements as standard within the headline fare displayed on our website, unless stated otherwise in the `What’s Included’ section. When requesting your initial quote, your Discover North America Travel Specialist will take the time to understand your own individual requirements with regards to international flights and car rental and will tailor the quote specifically to your needs.
