Canyon Country

Explore the famous canyons of the American West on a journey featuring 3 national parks. Start your journey in Scottsdale and join your fellow travellers for a welcome dinner.

Start your day in Sedona, where the sun shines on stunning sandstone formations. Soak in the inviting atmosphere and colourful vistas while browsing the many arts-and-crafts shops. Make your way through the Kaibab National Forest before reaching the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Follow the winding landscape along East Rim Drive, bringing you to Cameron Trading Post. For nearly a century, the post has acted as a haven for travellers, traders, and explorers. Continue north through the mesa-studded desert before arriving at your home for the next two evenings, overlooking the stunning blue waters of Lake Powell. Enjoy dinner and relax as you take in the picture-perfect canyon lake.

This morning, embark on a guided rafting adventure to iconic Horseshoe Bend and experience the peaceful grandeur of the Colorado River. Later this afternoon, enjoy the breathtaking views during a cruise on the lake.

Your journey continues at Bryce Canyon National Park, famous for its ethereal spires known as <i>hoodoos</i>. These rock formations, created over thousands of years by wind and water, display natural orange and red hues that contrast with the deep green forests of the park. Take in the wide vistas as you wander along Sunset Point, leading into Sunrise Point Rim Trail. Your day ends in Springdale, gateway to Zion National Park.

In sheer magnitude and colour, few places on earth match the beauty of Zion National Park. Marvel at red and white sandstone cliffs as you take a full day to explore Utah’s first national park. Climb aboard Zion’s open-air tram and wind your way alongside the Virgin River and through the 2,400-foot deep, half-mile wide Zion Canyon. This afternoon, <b>it’s your choice!</b> Delve into the area’s native American heritage and pioneer culture at the Zion Human History Museum <b>-OR-</b> venture off on your own to explore the park independently.

Trade nature’s beauty for the lights of the Vegas strip. This 4-mile stretch of road features neon-lit resorts and around-the-clock action. This afternoon, toast to the end of your journey at a farewell lunch with your fellow travellers. Make the most of your free time this evening to experience the best that Vegas has to offer.

Depart for home with memories of colourful canyons and winding valleys.
