Welcome to Las Vegas! The real wild west is home to some of the USA’s most incredible scenery. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight to meet your leader and fellow travellers. If you arrive early, there’s plenty to do – maybe wander along the famous strip, be entertained by impersonators and street performers, or catch a live show. After your meeting, maybe head out to dinner with the group to get to know your new travel mates.
Hop in a private van to Zion National Park today and join your leader for an exploration in the wild landscapes of the park on a guided hike. Zion is known for its towering sandstone cliffs and maze of narrow canyons, and you’ll get to see it for yourself as you hike right through the middle of it all. Then, spend the night in Springdale – the gateway to the park.
After breakfast this morning, it’s time to head to Bryce Canyon National Park. Take a short drive in your private vehicle, then spend the morning hiking through the landscapes of the park. Walk along the canyon rim and stare up at hundreds of unique sandstone towers known as hoodoos that jut out from the natural amphitheatre. After, break for lunch and take in your surroundings, then hike down into the canyon for a closer look at the hoodoos. Then, drive on to the town of Page, where you’ll spend the night.
This morning, join a local Navajo guide for an adventure through Lower Antelope Canyon – known for its wave-like structure and the distinct light beams that shine down into the canyon’s openings. Learn how the Navajo culture has thrived in the region, then set out for a gentle walk along Horsehoe Bend before returning to Page for the evening.
Start the day with a drive to Monument Valley – one of the world’s most iconic sights. If this landscape dotted with towering sandstone buttes looks familiar, that’s because Monument Valley has been the filming location for lots of famous Western films. More importantly, this is the native land of the Navajo. When you arrive, you’ll hop in a 4WD for a Navajo-guided tour, where you’ll have the chance to learn more about their culture and history before sitting down to a traditional home-cooked, family-style Navajo lunch. After, continue your journey to the iconic Grand Canyon for some walks along the rim at sunset.
This morning it's time to return to Las Vegas. You’ll make a stop on the way along Historic Route 66, then you’ll arrive back in Las Vegas where your adventure will come to an end. If you’d like to extend your stay, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
