In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Gooseneck State Park, which offers stunning views of a river that has carved deeply into the landscape, creating a canyon full of tight turns that are sure to surprise you.

Continuing from Gooseneck State Park, we'll make our way to Monument Valley. Comprising vast buttes that tower over 1,000 feet in the sky, Monument Valley is the perfect place to stretch your legs after the long car ride and take some stunning photos. These buttes have made appearances in many movies, most notably the running scene in Forrest Gump. Consider adding on an enjoyable 4x4 Jeep tour in Monument Valley. This is an unforgettable Navajo Jeep ride where you can capture some incredible pictures. 

We end the day at Canyon de Chelly National Monument, one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes in North America. From the rim drives you look down on Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, the slender spire of Spider Rock, and fields where Navajo families still farm the canyon floor today. Every overlook is a short walk from the road.

In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Petrified Forest National Park. This park is renowned for its vast deposits of petrified wood. Petrified wood forms when a tree becomes buried by sediment, shielding it from decay-causing organisms. Over time, minerals in the groundwater replace the wood, transforming it into stone. 

After visiting Petrified Forest National Park, we’ll have a quick lunch before heading to Meteor Crater. Meteor Crater is approximately 550 feet deep and one mile wide. It was formed by a meteorite impact more than 50,000 years ago. As you gaze out over the crater from the rim, you'll gain a sense of the immense scale of this impact and its lasting impact on the local landscape.

Our journey continues as we head south towards Sedona, Arizona. Nestled amidst towering red cliffs, Sedona offers a perfect setting to unwind and witness the sunset. We'll begin by exploring the local landscape and hiking some of the beautiful trails around Sedona. Later, we'll return to the town to admire its stunning architecture, such as the Chapel of the Holy Cross, built right into the surrounding rock. As the sun sets, we’ll enjoy dinner at one of the remarkable eateries in town, reminiscing about the wonderful experiences of the day.

Finally, we’ll drive to Flagstaff, Arizona, where we'll drop you off at your hotel in Flagstaff. This will allow you to relax and prepare for the exciting adventures of the following day.

In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel, and you'll depart for the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Arizona, with an estimated 5.9 million people visiting yearly. This canyon was carved by the Colorado River over a period of 6 million years, resulting in an astonishing panoramic view. Be sure to bring your camera; you will not want to miss capturing this incredible destination!

We'll then drive to Horseshoe Bend, where the river curves around a sandstone cliff. Please note the walk here is about three quarters of a mile each way on a sandy path with a gentle slope, and there is a shade shelter along the way. Guests who prefer to stay with the vehicle can instead enjoy the Glen Canyon Dam overlook above Lake Powell, which is a very short walk.

Optional activity: Antelope Canyon

A guided walk with an authorized Navajo guide through a slot canyon of glowing, sculpted sandstone. Antelope Canyon ranks among the top ten photography destinations globally! We recommend Upper Antelope Canyon for most guests, as the floor is level and there are no ladders. 
Note: Must be booked well in advance

For dinner, we'll eat in Kanab or Page. Located in southwestern Utah, Kanab has both striking landscapes and a rich history. Thanks to its striking red sandstone cliffs and unique vegetation, Kanab has served as the backdrop for many famous Hollywood shows and movies, including the Lone Ranger, Planet of the Apes, and Arabian Nights. 

After dinner, your guide will drop you off at your hotel, allowing you to relax before the next day's adventure.

If you're up for some hiking, you'll enjoy the stunning views from the Canyon Overlook Trail and the Riverside Walk. 

After our time at Zion National Park, we will depart for Bryce Canyon National Park. From its beautiful pink and white cliffs to its thousands of hoodoos, Bryce Canyon National Park is sure to leave a powerful impression on you. This park boasts many incredible viewpoints that are easily accessible, offering excellent locations for capturing photographs. For the more adventurous, your tour guide will lead you down into the canyon along the Navajo-Queen’s Garden Trail, passing right next to incredible rock formations that have taken thousands of years to shape.

Upon leaving Bryce Canyon National Park, we’ll enjoy dinner in one of the surrounding towns.

Depending on the day’s timing, we’ll stay near Bryce Canyon or continue to Torrey for the night. We'll drop you off at your hotel, allowing you to unwind and relax before the next day’s adventure.

The road delivers us to Capitol Reef National Park, the quietest of Utah’s Mighty Five, where a hundred-mile wrinkle in the earth’s crust meets the green oasis of Fruita. Capitol Reef National Park boasts a rich history and unique geology. Over 1,000 years ago, the Fremont people inhabited this region, leaving pictographs on the cliffs that can still be seen today. We'll also explore the remnants of Fruita, a small town established in the 1880s.

Finally, we'll return to Salt Lake City. Founded in 1847 by a group of pioneers, Salt Lake City has evolved into a vibrant capital city of Utah and a gateway to the West. If time allows, your tour guide will take you to witness the city's heartbeats: Temple Square and the Capitol Building.
