Tour Pace - The amazing and diverse scenery of America’s canyonlands is concentrated in a relatively small area surrounding the Colorado River. Travelling just short distances each day, the tour allows plenty of time for exploring the incredible landscapes.

Fellow Passengers - Featuring some of America’s most iconic sights, this is a photographer’s dream. The tour is ideal for lovers of nature, geology and breathtaking landscapes. Visits to Sedona and Monument Valley will fascinate those interested in Western and Native American history.

DAY 1 – ARRIVE PHOENIX – SCOTTSDALE.

Hotel: Scottsdale Marriott Suites Old Town

DAY 2 – SCOTTSDALE – GRAND CANYON.
Head north to the spectacular scenery and towering red rocks of the quaint bohemian colony of Sedona. Browse the stores, galleries and restaurants, or join a fun optional 4WD excursion through the superb landscape. Enjoy one of Arizona’s finest drives through Oak Creek Canyon, before travelling on to Grand Canyon National Park. A stroll with your Tour Director along the rim provides spectacular views as the sun sets on the canyon walls. Spend the night inside the park, enjoying peace and quiet after the crowds have departed. Tonight enjoy dinner in the Thunderbird Room, featuring magnificent views of the Grand Canyon’s south rim.
Hotel: National Park Lodges. (B,HD)

DAY 3 – GRAND CANYON – LAKE POWELL.
The choice is yours in the morning: wake up early and see the sun rise over the canyon, take a leisurely walk and watch for wildlife, board the park shuttle to explore the various lookout points or take a short hike down into the canyon. Optional flightseeing tours over the Grand Canyon by helicopter or plane are available from your Tour Director. After bidding farewell to this natural wonder, head to the Historic Cameron Trading Post, featuring southwest Native American arts and crafts. The journey carries on through the Painted Desert, a colourful fantasyland of mesas, buttes and badlands, and through the Navajo Indian Reservation. Stop at Glen Canyon Dam to learn about its impact on the Colorado River before arriving at the lakefront resort. The scenery is breathtaking with towering rock walls rising out of the water. Take a leisurely cruise on spectacular Lake Powell and explore scenic Antelope Canyon, with its dramatic steep, sandstone walls.

DAY 5 – LAKE POWELL – BRYCE OR ZION.
Visit Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah, home to an ever-changing diversity of naturally carved amphitheatres, balanced rocks, gravity-defying bridges and rock spires of pink, red and orange hues.

Keep an eye out for deer and other wildlife, or hike through the narrow pink-coloured gorges and dramatic canyons. A complete change of scenery awaits you in the afternoon when you arrive in Las Vegas, a collection of bright lights and neon signs, huge themed hotels of unbelievable design and the omnipresent slot machine.
