Day 1 – Phoenix, Arizona - Arrival in Phoenix and check in at hotel for
evening welcome and orientation.
 Day 2 – Montezuma Castle,
Sedona - Our trip
begins with a drive through Scottsdale, views of ancient
Camelback Mountain and giant Saguaro Cacti as we continue north
to visit Montezuma Castle, site of 12th and 13th century cliff
dwellings. Arizona has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years
and the state is home to 15 Native American tribes. Continue to
the artist colony of Sedona to visit its outstanding collection
of galleries, shops and restaurants. Sedona is called "Red Rock
Country" because it's surrounded by magnificent red rock
formations. Some people believe that certain areas in Sedona
have strong energy forces known as vortexes and are believed to
revitalize you. We will stop for photos at a well-known vortex
called Bell Rock. Arrive
at your Sedona hotel. Enjoy dinner tonight. (BD)
Day 3 – Flagstaff, Grand Canyon
- Our trip winds through Oak Creek Canyon en route to
Flagstaff to visit the Indian Museum of Northern Arizona. We
will arrive at the Grand Canyon in the early afternoon. Your
lodge is in the Grand Canyon National Park
(webcam) near the South Rim. The Grand Canyon, one of the seven
natural wonders of the world, follows the course of the Colorado
River. Your afternoon is free for exploration. Take the free
shuttle to the West Rim lookouts. Enjoy breathtaking Grand
Canyon vistas. (B)
 Day 4 – Grand Canyon, Lake
Powell - Enjoy breakfast at historic El
Tovar Lodge on the rim of the Grand Canyon before our departure
along the scenic East Rim lookouts to the famous Desert View
Lookout. We will visit a Navajo and Hopi Trading Post. Here, you
will find a large selection of high quality Hopi and Kachina
dolls and fine Native American jewelry and handicrafts. Our
drive continues over the Glen Canyon Dam to 185 mile long Lake
Powell. Arrive at Lake Powell Resort, formerly known as Wahweap
Lodge, on the shores of Lake Powell. Enjoy a scenic boat cruise
through Lake Powell’s Antelope Canyon before we check in for our
two night stay at Lake Powell Resort. (B)
 Day 5 – Monument Valley, Jeep
Tour - Enjoy breakfast
with sweeping views of Lake Powell. This morning we enter the
Navajo Indian Nation for a jeep tour of the restricted
backcountry of Monument Valley (called Valley of the Rocks by
the Navajo). This is a beautiful, pristine area of buttes and
arches which is accessible only with authorized Navajo guides.
The Valley was the backdrop for many Western classics so, after
lunch at Gouldings Lodge overlooking the valley, it’s natural we
also visit the Hollywood Museum dedicated to the films made in
this locale. Return to Lake Powell. (BL)
Day 6 – Bryce Canyon National Park
- After breakfast we
drive to scenic Bryce Canyon. See the “Hoodoos,” fantastic red,
orange and pink limestone spirals. Our scenic stops include Bryce Point and Sunrise Point,
overlooking the stunning Bryce Amphitheater. We continue to
Bryce Valley for an overnight stay at rustic Bryce Valley Inn,
which is located just outside the Park. Stunning sunsets
transform the nearby Escalante Mountains (Butch Cassidy country)
into brilliant shades of red, orange and pink. (B)
 Day 7 – Zion National Park - Our visit to Zion Park showcases a wonderland
of rock monoliths. Zion features stunning scenery found nowhere
else on earth and is a geologic showpiece of some of the world’s
highest sandstone cliffs. Early settlers were so inspired by
Zion’s beauty that they bestowed named some of the park’s
natural features: East Temple, the Court of the Patriachs and
the Great White Throne. Leisure time this afternoon to take the
valley floor shuttle and the scenic walking trails. Enjoy
dinner. (BD)
Day 8 – Zion Park to Las Vegas, Nevada - After breakfast, we go
from Zion Park to the other end of the modern spectrum: Las
Vegas, Nevada. We will have a short sightseeing drive of the Las
Vegas strip before arriving at the Las Vegas airport for your
departure home. (B)
