• Meet Canyon Dave, who shares fascinating stories about this extraordinary feat of nature and its development over the past 40 million years.
• Unlock geological history as you walk the paths and trails of Zion National Park, following in the footsteps of Native Americans and the earliest pioneers. The lush vegetation, wild rivers, roaring waterfalls and towering cliffs of this park will have you reaching for your camera over and over again. You’ll even drive through the amazing 1.1-mile, sandstone Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel built from the late 1920s through 1930, when it was the longest tunnel of its type at the time.
• Hello, hoodoos. As you arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park, enjoy seeing the pink, orange and rusty-red limestone spires, known as hoodoos, rise up from the valley floor. Explore the visitor center to learn more about the history and geology of the park before a scenic drive along Bryce Canyon Road with possible stops at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point and Inspiration Point. You’ll love seeing how Bryce Canyon, home to the largest collection of these spires in the world, is in a league of its own.

Trafalgar Difference

Next door to the train depot and just a block away from downtown Williams and historic Route 66, you’re in the ideal spot to make the most of the Grand Canyon. Tempt yourself with dining options at the Fred Harvey Restaurant and Spenser’s Pub or relax in the indoor pool and hot tub.
