ZION National Park Adventure
Excalibur Hotel & Casino - Las Vegas, 3850 Las Vegas Blvd S.,, Las Vegas, NV, USFOR MORE DETAILS AND TO REGISTER PLEASE CLICK HERE
Everyone should experience Zion at least once in their lifetime—hiking its iconic trails and soaking in those jaw-dropping views! On this adventure, we’ll explore some of Zion’s most famous hikes, rappel down stunning desert walls, bike through the park, and cap it off with an unforgettable ATV/UTV sunset ride. But that’s not all—we’re also heading to Page, Arizona to visit the world-renowned Antelope Canyon, take in the beauty of Lake Powell, and witness the breathtaking Horseshoe Bend. Most of our nights will be spent in the charming town of Springdale, Utah, giving you the perfect base for this adventure.
ARRIVAL DAY MARCH 26TH - After landing in Las Vegas at Harry Reid International Airport on March 26, we’ll jump into the Outsiders vans and make our way toward Springdale, Utah where we’ll spend the next 3 nights. Your flight should land in Las Vegas before noon on March 26.
## Day 1 - March 27
After breakfast, we’ll head out for a hike in Zion National Park. We’ll be hitting up one of the park’s famous trails.
After the hike we’ll grab lunch and enjoy some downtime before making our way to St. George Utah for some ATV/UTV action. This tour rises to an elevation of about 3,500 ft. with spectacular views of lakes and different mountain ranges, and we climb high enough to reach the MAJOR Sand Dunes and have time to do what’s referred to as “SAND BALLET,” an unforgettable experience. There is a box canyon we’ll ride through on our way down the mountain that was surely a hiding place for the outlaws back in the day. Best of all, the last part of this tour is experienced while the sun is setting.
Once we’re done we’ll head to a BBQ restaurant before heading back to the hotel.## Day 2 - March 28
After breakfast at the hotel we’re going out for a halfday canyoneering adventure. The thrill of descending some of the earth’s most beautiful geologic creations is unique. Sharing it with the Outsiders only amplifies its magnificence. Pairing these things with the expertise of our guides creates a recipe for the penultimate experience.
This will include rappelling, scrambling, down climbing, and possibly wading through canyon pools.
After lunch we’ll pick up our bike rentals and hit the road through zion national park. It’s a great fun way to explore the entire park.
After returning the bikes we’ll have some time to rest before getting dinner and drinks.## Day 3 - March 29
We’ll say our goodbyes to Zion National Park and hit the road, cruising through the wide-open landscapes of Navajo Nation on our way to Page, Arizona. Once we roll into town, we’ll check into our hotel, drop our bags, and head straight out to explore two of the area’s biggest showstoppers — the sweeping curves of Horseshoe Bend and the shimmering waters of Lake Powell. These spots are the kind of places that make you stop, stare, and forget to take your phone out… at least for a minute.
When the sun starts to dip, we’ll make our way back into town for dinner. Whether it’s local Southwestern flavors or just a solid burger and a cold drink, we’ll find a spot to relax, swap road trip stories, and refuel for tomorrow’s adventures.## Day 4 - March 30
After breakfast, we’ll head out for a private tour of the world-famous Upper Antelope Canyon with Chief Tsosie’s guides. This place is pure magic — the light beams, the swirling sandstone walls, the colors that shift right before your eyes. If you haven’t seen photos of it, go ahead and look it up… but trust us, being there in person is on a whole other level.
Once we’ve had our fill of slot canyon wonder, we’ll grab lunch and then hit the road for our grand finale — Las Vegas! This is our last night together before heading home, so bring something fun to wear for a night out. We’ll grab dinner, explore the city’s nightlife, and see where the night takes us. We can’t share too many details in advance… because, well, you know the saying: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.## Day 5 - March 31
Big hugs to our new adventure family. Flights back home

Tails on the Trail: Hike with Adoptable Dogs
The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, USREGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
Join us for a heart-forward day at Harriman State Park where fresh air meets second chances.
Tails on the Trail pairs outdoor adventure with purpose. We’ll head into Harriman’s scenic trails alongside adoptable dogs from our rescue partners! The point of the day is exercise, socialization, and a day filled with love and attention.
Once we arrive, participants will be paired (or grouped) with adoptable pups under the supervision of experienced handlers. Expect a moderate hike with rolling terrain, wooded paths, and lake views- plus plenty of breaks for water, photos, and belly rubs.
And here’s the best part: If you make a genuine connection with one of the dogs, you’ll have the opportunity to begin the adoption process. ❤️🐶 While adoption approvals are handled directly by the rescue organization, this hike is a beautiful way to meet these dogs outside of a shelter setting and see how you connect in real time.
