In May 2013, Mr. H and I are rafting the lower half of the Grand Canyon. That trip is 5 days and it ends at Lake Mead. From Lake Mead, we will be taken back to Las Vegas on a Thursday. Our initial thought was to stay Thurs-Mon in Vegas, but now I am thinking that idea leaves too much dissonance between the two halves of the trip. Maybe we'd be better off visiting another NP.
So I was thinking Zion, since it is closest to Vegas.
Maybe stay in Vegas Thursday, day spa/massage, nice dinner, etc and off to Zion. We could stay Fri, Sat, Sun and drive home Mon. Or we could spend the first 2 nights in Zion and one in Bryce.
Which idea would be better, do you think? I am leaning toward more time in Zion, so as not to be rushed and also to have a shorter drive home to LA on Monday. We would like to do your typical things- hike some trails, visit whatever roadside attractions there are, take and scenic drives, stop and take photos. We would also like to take a longer (maybe half day) horseback ride.
We are thinking of staying in the cabins at Zion Lodge.
We welcome any specific suggestions for Zion, and Bryce too, if the consensus is we should try to squeeze in both.
