Las Vegas Grand Circle in 7 Days: Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon and Route 66

7 daysUpdated November 7, 2026

The classic loop of the American West: from Las Vegas through Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend at Page, into the Grand Canyon by the East Entrance, then back to Las Vegas on old Route 66. Each day's drive, gas and fast charging are on the map.

About 834 miles (1341 km) and 18 hours of driving in total
Before you goThis loop passes three parks that charge the $100 nonresident fee per person (Zion, Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon). For two non-US residents in one car, the $250 non-resident annual pass almost always wins.
Day 1

Las Vegas → Springdale (Zion)

163 mi (262 km) · about 3 h 8 min

North on I-15, then Utah 9. Stay in Springdale outside Zion's South Entrance so you can walk to the town shuttle instead of fighting for parking. Enter the day-before lottery for Angels Landing tonight.

  • 160 gas stations within 1 mile
  • 22 DC fast charging stations
Day 2

A full day in Zion

No long drive

Take the first 7 a.m. shuttle to Stop 9 for the Narrows, Angels Landing at midday, the Emerald Pools in the afternoon and the Watchman Trail at sunset. Don't wait for the last bus.

Day 3

Zion → Bryce Canyon

84 mi (135 km) · about 2 h 8 min

Take the Zion–Mount Carmel Highway through the 1930 tunnel and hike the one-mile Canyon Overlook Trail at its east end. Since June 2026 oversized vehicles are banned on this road, so measure your RV first.

  • 11 gas stations within 1 mile
  • 1 DC fast charging stations
Day 4

Bryce Canyon → Kanab → Page

150 mi (241 km) · about 3 h 10 min

Sunrise at Bryce, then south on US-89 through Kanab to Page. Horseshoe Bend charges for parking per car; go early or late. Antelope Canyon is only by Navajo-guided tour, so book ahead, and go by the time your tour company gives you, since the Navajo Nation observes daylight saving time.

  • 31 gas stations within 1 mile
  • Longest stretch without gas: about 63 miles
  • 4 DC fast charging stations
Day 5

Page → Cameron → Grand Canyon East Entrance → Tusayan

142 mi (229 km) · about 3 h 14 min

Fill up in Cameron, enter by the East Entrance, start at the Desert View Watchtower and work west along Desert View Drive. The South Rim's in-park hotels have paused overnight stays, so sleep in Tusayan outside the South Entrance.

  • 17 gas stations within 1 mile
  • Longest stretch without gas: about 49 miles
  • 4 DC fast charging stations
Day 6

Grand Canyon → Williams → old Route 66 → Kingman

185 mi (297 km) · about 3 h 48 min

Sunrise at Mather Point or Yaki Point, then south to Williams. From Seligman, follow old Route 66 through Peach Springs and Hackberry to Kingman, past old gas stations and vintage signs.

  • 64 gas stations within 1 mile
  • Longest stretch without gas: about 34 miles
  • 7 DC fast charging stations
Day 7

Kingman → Hoover Dam → Las Vegas

111 mi (178 km) · about 2 h 29 min

US-93 back to Las Vegas. The highway crosses on the bypass bridge downstream, whose high walls hide the dam; take Exit 2 for a short detour and allow an hour to park and take photos.

  • 107 gas stations within 1 mile
  • Longest stretch without gas: about 34 miles
  • 18 DC fast charging stations
