Day 2:
Tue. LAS VEGAS–GRAND CANYON. Cross the desert and the old Mohave gold-strike country, passing through Williams, located on historic Route 66 and Kaibab National Forest, to arrive in the GRAND CANYON by mid-afternoon. Marvel at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World as you experience the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. There is plenty of free time to wander along the canyon rim. You will overnight in Grand Canyon National Park.

Day 3:
Wed. GRAND CANYON–MONUMENT VALLEY. If you miss the sunset over the canyon, sunrise is just as impressive! There is time for an optional helicopter flightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon—definitely a thrill of a lifetime. Later, take a scenic drive across the Kaibab Plateau and through the amazing Painted Desert. Continue into Monument Valley, where the weathering action of wind and water has carved the famous sandstone spires and towers that rise hundreds of feet above the valley floor. You’ll stay overnight at historic Goulding’s Lodge with its panoramic views of the valley. Take a dip in the pool and admire the western sky, or explore the Goulding’s Museum and Trading Post, part of the set built for John Wayne’s film, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Monument Valley has been featured in scores of movies, from John Ford’s Stagecoach to Forest Gump. Take a walk back in time with this wonderful collection of movie memorabilia and Indian artifacts.

This beautiful sightseeing flight also includes Glen Canyon Dam, Wahweap Marina, Tower Butte, and Rainbow Bridge, the largest natural arch on earth.

Bryce is famous for its unique geology; erosion has created bizarre shapes including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called “hoodoos.” Tinted with numerous colors, these rocks create a wondrous landscape. Make sure to have your camera and plenty of film with you today!

Day 6:
Sat. BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK–ZION NATIONAL PARK. Zion is an ancient Hebrew word meaning a place of refuge or sanctuary.
