Information for those wanting to
vacation in the Grand Circle Region of Utah and Arizona
Introduction
Most people have heard of the Grand Canyon but there are five other National Parks only about 100-300 miles North of the Grand Canyon in S Utah. If you are thinking of going to the Grand Canyon then combine your trip with these other NP's and I promise that you will not be disappointed. The Grand Circle Tour involves at least six national parks in NE Arizona and SE Utah: Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Each National Park is distinctly different and has its own character and the ones mentioned are all worth seeing. This region has at least 10M visitors to its National Parks each year, half of them to the Grand Canyon alone.
Other attractions are: Natural Bridges National Monument, Monument Valley, Bicentennial Highway, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest, Hwy 12 Scenic Byway.
