Day 1 Las Vegas

This afternoon you will meet your guide and fellow travelers and the adventure begins. Flying in you will see the bright lights of Vegas as you approach. Spend the night exploring Sin City, but be sure to save a few bucks because you will be back in a week.

 

 

Day 2 Zion National Park

This morning we leave Vegas and head to Zion.  Upon arriving in Zion, hiking and photography will abound. Whether clinging to the chains of the Angel's Landing Trail or staring up the steep walls of the Narrows, Zion's beauty is undeniable.

 

 

 

Day 3 Bryce Canyon National Park

After the option of an early morning hike in Zion, we will be heading to Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon's most stunning features are the rock formations named hoodoos. The hoodoos give the canyon an otherworldly feel as you hike among them. A visit to Bryce is something one never forgets.

 

 

 

Day 4 Lake  Powell

Today we will head south from Bryce Canyon to Lake Powell in Page, AZ.  Lake Powell, the nations 2nd largest man-made reservoir, is named after one armed Civil War Major John Wesley Powell. The activities for the day include swimming in Lake Powell, visiting Glen Canyon Dam and hiking out to the wondrous Horseshoe Bend.

 

 

Day 5 Monument Valley

This morning we will visit Antelope Canyon. Antelope Canyon's smooth wavy sandstone walls make it one of the most popular stops for photographers in all of the Southwest. From there we will be heading into the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American Reservation in the US.  A jeep tour of the valley lead by a Navajo guide will be followed by traditional dinner and dancing with our Navajo hosts. The night will be topped off with the option of sleeping under the stars of the Valley. The night sky here is one of the country's darkest, where the stars appear as falling snowflakes from the heart of the oft visible Milky Way.  Monument Valley has some of the most iconic views in the world. Featured in countless movies, from John Ford's Stagecoach to Transformers Age of Extinction, the Valley serves as the quintessential Old West in the American conscience.

 

 

 

Day 6/7 Grand Canyon

  After taking in one of Monument Valley's breathtaking sunrises we head to the Grand Canyon.  On our way we will visit the ancient Anasazi ruins at the Navajo National Monument and stop in at the Cameron Trading Post to see (and maybe buy) work from some of the Reservation's finest artists.  One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, the Grand Canyon is where we will spend the next two days.  While most visitors never venture below the rim, an opportunity to climb down into the Canyon and feel its vastness is not to be missed. There will be opportunities to see the Canyon from both the ground and the air. Ask your guide about an optional helicopter tour.

 

 

 

Day 8 Back to Vegas

On the final day of the tour we head back to where it began. However, before we arrive there will be a few more treats including a short jaunt along Route 66. RT 66, known as the Mother Road, carried migrants west out of the Dust Bowl of the 1930's. After WWII, the road came to prominence once again as the economy boomed and American car culture took hold.
