Itinerary and highlights
You begin your day with a scenic drive into Navajo territory. Stop for breakfast in St. George, Utah, home to the oldest continuously operating Mormon temple in the world.
As you head deeper into Navajo territory, you’ll approach the mighty Colorado River for a visit to Horseshoe Bend, where the river winds around sandstone cliffs to form a stunning horseshoe-shaped loop—an iconic sight treasured by visitors and photographers worldwide.
At Horseshoe Bend, you'll stand atop a dramatic cliff 1,000 feet above the Colorado River, taking in sweeping views of its iconic, horseshoe-shaped curve. The sheer scale and vibrant colors of the canyon walls make this one of the most breathtaking photo ops in the Southwest. It’s a moment of awe and wonder that perfectly captures the power and beauty of nature.
After lunch, you'll visit the Glen Canyon viewpoint for a final panoramic look at the stunning Southwest scenery. Then, relax as you make your return journey to Las Vegas, arriving in the evening.
Travel to the place where “the water runs through the rocks,” as described in Navajo folklore. You’ll explore the stunning Lower Antelope Canyon, where wind, water, and sand have carved surreal sandstone formations beyond words. With a local Navajo guide, you’ll journey through the canyon and witness how sunlight beams through narrow canyon walls, creating breathtaking shafts of light and unforgettable photo opportunities.
