Tour Description

You’ll want to warm up your vocal cords before delivering a big ‘Helloooo’ across the echoing canyons of Arizona and Utah. Beauty, awe, and wonder also resound from Phoenix to Las Vegas on this sojourn through three fascinating national parks, Lake Powell, and the sandstone landscapes of the Navajo Nation. From spectacular sunrise to sunset of the Grand Canyon, you’ll also be dazzled by the desert hues of Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Antelope Slot Canyon. Unleash your explorer’s spirit with a Navajo guide aboard a 4-wheel drive through the monoliths, buttes, and mesas of Monument Valley. Color your world in the cactus-studded, red panoramas of Sedona before trying your luck under the neon lights of Vegas too!
