Itinerary and highlights
Enjoy views of the 181 mile long Lake Powell, that covers parts of Arizona and Utah, created by the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River.
Enjoy views of colorful rock formation and 80 mile views across the largest National Monument in the United States.
Antelope Canyon’s sculpted sandstone walls offer memorable photo opportunities with a walkable corridor at the bottom of the canyon floor. It was formed by flash flood waters that rushed into the cracks of the Navajo sandstone along with the power of wind erosion. The daylight dancing through the narrow openings from the top provides multiple kinds of light reflections and colors.
Enjoy views of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon's Horseshoe Bend, with a 1.5 mile round-trip easy hike. Stand 1000 feet above the Colorado River as you look down upon the mighty river at the bottom of Glen Canyon. Horseshoe Bend is an area where the Colorado River makes a 280-degree turn, providing almost unreal views of desert, river, cliffs and canyon.
Drive through the Virgin River Gorge, a dramatic and beautiful canyon carved by the rushing river waters in Northwestern Arizona.
See views of Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, the 2nd largest man-made lake in the US.
Pass through the town of Kanab, known as Utah's little Hollywood due to being the setting for many Western movies and centrally located to access many national parks and sites.
