You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find an RVer who doesn\u2019t love a good visit to a national park, so this trek through multiple national parks in Arizona and southern Utah is the perfect inspiration for the outdoorsy traveler. On this road trip, you\u2019ll knock out 3 parks: Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Grand Canyon. We\u2019ll show you where to stay and what to see in each one for a truly unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to start<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on which direction you\u2019re coming from, there are a few different ways you could begin this trip. If you\u2019re north of the area, you could travel south on I-15 through Utah and begin at Bryce Canyon National Park. If you\u2019re coming from the east or west, you could take I-40 into Flagstaff and travel north from there. However, we recommend beginning your road trip in Phoenix. If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/rv-rentals-near-me\">renting an RV<\/a>, it\u2019s the closest big city to fly into and pick up your rig. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/rv-rentals-near-me?distance=25&amp;zip=85001\">search rentals in the Phoenix area<\/a> on RVUSA. Even if you\u2019re traveling in your own rig, there\u2019s lots to see and do between Phoenix and southern Utah. We\u2019ll use Phoenix as a home base for the purposes of this guide, but you can customize the road trip however works best for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_231286002-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_231286002-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Antelope Slot Canyon\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_231286002-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_231286002-1-980x654.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_231286002-1-480x320.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Phoenix, AZ to Page, AZ<\/h2>\n<p>Before you venture into the national parks, there are a wealth of sights to see and trails to hike between Phoenix and northern Arizona. The national parks you\u2019ll be visiting are pretty breathtaking, so we recommend hitting a few of these stops on your way so as not to be underwhelmed by them once you\u2019ve witnessed the majesty of places like Zion and the Grand Canyon. That\u2019s not to say these stops aren\u2019t worth making &#8211; they most definitely are! They\u2019re the perfect appetizers to whet your appetite for the incredible views at the national parks.<\/p>\n<h4>What to see<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Superstition Mountains<\/strong> &#8211; start things off outside of Phoenix with a challenging hike in this legendary mountain range. The Flatiron hike will take you 6 miles out and back through rock scrambles and steep climbs to an incredible view of the valley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Devil\u2019s Bridge in Sedona<\/strong> &#8211; as you drive north out of Phoenix, you\u2019ll hop on I-17. This short detour off the interstate takes you to one of the most photographed hikes in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Downtown Flagstaff<\/strong> &#8211; there are plenty of cute restaurants and shops in this ski resort town. Most people think of Arizona as all desert, but you\u2019ll be wow\u2019d as you climb in elevation and the scenery changes from cacti to alpine trees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horseshoe Bend<\/strong> &#8211; you\u2019ve undoubtedly seen a photo of the Colorado River snaking around a sharp bend from high atop the cliffs above. That part of the river winds through Page, Arizona. It\u2019s a small, unassuming town, but has a few popular sights to see. You\u2019ll have to pay a fee to park at this landmark and take your photos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antelope Canyon<\/strong> &#8211; this spot in Page is so popularly photographed that it\u2019s likely been on a screensaver you\u2019ve had at some point! Carved by flash floods, this slot canyon has beautifully lined walls that look like art. It\u2019s on Navajo land, so you\u2019ll have to pay a guide and join a tour to either the upper or lower canyons. The most impressive photos from your road trip will likely be taken here.<\/p>\n<h4>Where to stay<\/h4>\n<p>Boondock &#8211; there\u2019s a wealth of BLM land in northern Arizona. As you drive, you\u2019ll see plenty of other RVers who had the same idea and want to take in the starry desert skies uninterrupted. You\u2019ll be on the front end of your trip, so you should have plenty of room in your tanks for a little time off the grid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_282966025-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_282966025-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Family hiking in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA looking out at a scenic view\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_282966025-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_282966025-1-980x654.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_282966025-1-480x320.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bryce Canyon National Park<\/h2>\n<p>The distinct orange rock spires you\u2019ll find here are synonymous with Bryce Canyon. They\u2019re called \u201choodoos\u201d and there\u2019s no place in the world that has more of them in one spot than Bryce. It\u2019s truly unlike anything you\u2019ve ever seen. You should be able to see the park in a day and spend a little more time at your next stop, but it\u2019s one you definitely will want to mark off your list. It\u2019s especially beautiful in winter and early spring when there\u2019s still snow accumulation on the bright orange spires.<\/p>\n<h4>What to see<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sunset or Sunrise Point<\/strong> &#8211; if you\u2019re looking for a quick view rather than a hike, make a stop at either of these overlooks of Bryce\u2019s amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thor\u2019s Hammer<\/strong> &#8211; this is the signature formation in Bryce. It takes a little bit of a hike to find it, but it\u2019s worth seeing Bryce\u2019s most famous hoodoo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wall Street<\/strong> &#8211; this is another one of the most famous spots in Bryce. The orange walls narrow to form a tight walkway known as \u201cWall Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Where to stay<\/h4>\n<p>Bauers Canyon Ranch RV Park &#8211; this spot may seem like it\u2019s in the middle of nowhere, but it\u2019s perfectly situated between both Bryce and Zion. It has full hookups, pull-through spots, and free wifi.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_299606490-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_299606490-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Hiking in The Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah\" width=\"1000\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_299606490-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_299606490-1-980x660.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_299606490-1-480x323.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Zion National Park<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason we put all those other stops before Zion National Park. Once you take in the majestic pink and orange formations towering overhead, so many other places pale in comparison. If you\u2019re driving in from Bryce, you\u2019ll enter the park through the east entrance, which is truly the best way to experience Zion for the first time. This entrance takes you through a long tunnel that you\u2019ll need an escort for in an RV, but on the other side is one of the most breathtaking drives you\u2019ll ever make. The best part about this park is that your jaw will drop upon just driving in, and then it will drop all over again once you hit the trails. Plan to spend a few days here because there is so much to see and do.<\/p>\n<h4>What to see<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Angels Landing<\/strong> &#8211; if you\u2019re physically able to complete this trail, you absolutely must experience it. It\u2019s a challenging elevation climb complete with rock scrambles and a heart-pounding portion across the spine of the mountain with stomach-churning drop-offs on each side, but at the top is a truly unforgettable view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Narrows<\/strong> &#8211; this is one of the most unique hikes you\u2019ll ever go on, as it follows the Virgin River through the slot canyons it formed. Meaning: you are literally hiking in the river. If you\u2019re going in early spring or late fall, you\u2019ll want to rent a bib and water shoes in Springdale so you can navigate the cold waters. Be sure to check the river flow when you visit, because if it gets over a certain point, especially with spring snow melt, they will close the trail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canyon Overlook Trail<\/strong> &#8211; entering from the east, there\u2019s a small trailhead just before the aforementioned tunnel that will take you on a short and easy hike to one of the best views in Zion. This hike is great for beginners and kids who want the sweeping panoramas of Zion without the strain of trails like Angels Landing and the Narrows.<\/p>\n<h4>Where to stay<\/h4>\n<p><strong>In the park<\/strong> &#8211; finding a campsite inside the park requires some planning ahead as it\u2019s one of the most-visited parks in the US, but if you can pull it off, it\u2019s well worth it. Camping in the shadows of these imposing mountains is a truly unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_176920940-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_176920940-1.jpeg\" alt=\" FILE #: 176920940 Preview Crop Find Similar Expand Image DIMENSIONS 4928 x 3154px FILE TYPE JPEG CATEGORY Landscapes LICENSE TYPE Standard or Extended cactus overlooking the grand canyon\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_176920940-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_176920940-1-980x627.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AdobeStock_176920940-1-480x307.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Grand Canyon National Park<\/h2>\n<p>On your way back down to Phoenix (or Flagstaff to catch I-40), you\u2019ll hang a right in Cameron, AZ to travel west and mark your third national park off the list. By this point, you\u2019ve probably hiked many miles and are ready for a view that\u2019s a bit easier to get to. That\u2019s why the Grand Canyon is perfect as the final national park on the list. The South Rim is the one closest to the path you\u2019ve been taking, and it\u2019s the most visited rim for good reason. Take a short walk to the overlooks to soak in the majesty of this natural wonder.<\/p>\n<h4>What to see<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Bright Angel Trail<\/strong> &#8211; if you still haven\u2019t had enough hiking, you can hike all the way to the bottom of the canyon on this trail. If you don\u2019t want to go all the way, there are markers where you can turn back and make it a shorter hike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Williams, AZ<\/strong> &#8211; on your way south again, pull off the highway into this small town if you want see a quintessential Route 66 stop and find a cute roadside diner.<\/p>\n<h4>Where to stay<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Trailer Village<\/strong> &#8211; this is the only in-park campsite with full hookups, so it\u2019s where most people who travel to the Grand Canyon by RV stay. You\u2019ll be closer to the action here than you would be finding a spot in the closest town, Tusayan.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping it up<\/h2>\n<p>Once you hit the road again after the Grand Canyon, you can either head back to Phoenix to return your rental, or head back whichever way you came. If you skipped some of the stops along the way on your way north to Bryce, you add a few in on your way back if you still have the energy for it. This triple national park tour is one for the memory books and will leave you with that exhausted yet contented feeling you get after a great road trip. Whenever you\u2019re ready to hit the road again, we highly recommend this loop!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-745x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-745x1024.png 745w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-768x1056.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-696x957.png 696w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-305x420.png 305w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-640x880.png 640w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip-610x839.png 610w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/National-Parks-Road-Trip.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the summer travel season ahead and parks starting to open up again, many of us are dreaming about future RVing vacations.
