Day 1: Las Vegas / Zion National Park
Greetings from Utah! Some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the USA may be found in the
true Wild West. Your journey starts in Las Vegas, where you'll meet up with your group and the
local leader for a briefing on the days ahead before boarding a private van. After getting to know one
another over a picnic lunch, explore Zion National Park's breathtaking vistas. The several self-guided
walks that are available in the park, ranging from relaxing strolls along shaded pathways to
something a bit more demanding, will be described to you by your leader.

ACCOMMODATION: We will be staying in a hotel in La Verkin which is the gateway town to Zion National Park
Day 2: Bryce Canyon National Park / Page
Make sure your camera is ready to go when you leave for Bryce Canyon National Park this
morning after breakfast because some of the sights you'll see there are simply out of this world.
After a brief trip in your personal vehicle, enjoy the morning trekking amid the park's magnificent scenery.
As you stroll around the canyon rim, take at the hundreds of distinctive sandstone spires, or hoodoos,
which protrude from the surrounding natural amphitheatre. After taking in your stunning surroundings and
relaxing while eating a picnic lunch, go down into the canyon to have a closer look at the interesting hoodoos.
Proceed to Page, Arizona, where you will spend the night, then continue driving.

Day 3: Lake Powell / Horseshoe Bend
This morning, make your way south, passing through more breathtaking countryside on
route to Lake Powell. From the beach, this stunning reservoir is undoubtedly a pleasure to
behold, but in order to fully enjoy it, you must be in the water. As you paddle over the water's
surface in a kayak and weave around amazing rock formations, your captain will regale you with tales
of the lake's past. Once back on dry land, take a leisurely stroll down Horseshoe Bend while
admiring the breathtaking scenery. Retire for the evening to Page.

Special Information
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER DEPARTURES: During these months we are often unable to kayak on Lake Powell. We will include a local slot canyon by foot when kayaking is not possible. This hike does involve soft sand, stairs, and ramps, best to wear closed-toe shoes.Day 4: Monument Valley / Grand Canyon
Drive to Monument Valley, one of the most well-known locations in the world, to begin the day.
It's hardly surprising if this scenery, which is littered with enormous sandstone buttes, appears
familiar to you because Monument Valley has served as the backdrop for several well-known Western movies.
The fact that this is Navajo Indian territory is more significant. A typical home-cooked, family-style
Navajo lunch will be served after you transfer from your car to a 4X4 jeep and take a Navajo-led tour of
Monument Valley. During this trip, you'll get the chance to learn more about the Navajo people's
rich culture and history in the region. In time for a sunset along the rim, we carry on to the famous
Grand Canyon!
