Are you looking to travel out west with your kids, neurodiverse or not? We traveled for 8 days on a truly EPIC family vacation in the beginning of October to Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon, and Grand Canyon National Park!
After months of pre-planning, I’m truly proud of each aspect of our trip and I am super glad to make your planning easier. I have highlighted each part of our trip below, plus itinerary and tips/hints to help traveling with a child with sensory needs where needed. Whether or not you have a neurodiverse kiddo, our trip itinerary will be great for everyone! At the time of travel, our kids were 13, 12 and 8.
