Exploring the breathtaking formations in Bryce Canyon was a highlight for our family, especially when we stood at the rim, taking in those vibrant orange spires against the deep blue sky. We also enjoyed a leisurely hike in Zion, where the towering cliffs made us feel tiny and the air was refreshingly crisp. One small drawback was the packed schedule; at times, it felt rushed, making it hard to fully soak in the beauty around us. However, our guide was knowledgeable and kept things engaging, which helped balance the pace. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with memorable moments that we’ll cherish fondly.
