​

Day 3

Zion - Bryce Canyon

​

Travel to central Utah and visit the majestic hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. Nature’s artistry has created rocks in various shades of red, formed by erosion into pinnacles and spires, even more stunning against the blue skies of the area. You may want to explore the canyon on foot or by horseback*. In the summer months you may even be able to enjoy the local rodeo.

Bryce Canyon - Lake Powell/Page

​

This morning, make sure you view the dazzling display of colour and light of the sunshine at Bryce Point. The sun rising above the canyon ignites the red rock spires turning them into an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colour. Continue south through Utah, passing through the charming western town of Kanab where many cowboy films have been made. Later, arrive in Page and visit the Glen Canyon Dam and magnificent Lake Powell with its crystal blue waters. In the afternoon or evening you may want to take a cruise on Lake Powell*

Day 5

Lake Powell / Page - Grand Canyon

​

If possible this morning, you may want to take the time to take a guided tour of the slot canyons of Antelope Canyon* before heading to the Grand Canyon. These canyons are known for their varying colour of sandstone and are a photographer’s dream. It is a short drive to the Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world. Spend your time walking along the rim of the canyon, participating in a ranger led talk* or maybe take a helicopter flight over the canyon*

​

Grand Canyon - Oak Creek Canyon - Sedona

​

Leave the Grand Canyon and travel down scenic Route 89A, a spectacular drive through Oak Creek Canyon from Flagstaff to Sedona.
