Your Itinerary
DAY 1: UK - Las Vegas.
Fly to Las Vegas where you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for two nights.
DAY 2: Las Vegas.
A day at your leisure to explore this breathtaking, glittering desert city, dubbed 'Sin City' for its myriad of casinos, themed hotels and lavish shows. Revel in the neon-gilded Las Vegas strip, ride the roller coaster at New York, New York or view man-eating sharks up close at Mandalay Bay. Don't miss the Fremont Street experience, where a glass atrium enclosing five city blocks comes alive with dazzling sounds and lights. Las Vegas is perfectly placed for trips to the mighty Hoover Dam, one of the engineering wonders of the world; Boulder City, which was originally built by the government as housing for workers who were building the Hoover Dam; and beautiful Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake and reservoir in the United States.
DAY 3: Las Vegas - Grand Canyon.
Cross the desert and the old Mohave gold-strike country, passing through Williams located on historic Route 66, and the Kaibab National Forest to arrive in the Grand Canyon by mid-afternoon. Marvel at one of the Natural Wonders of the World as you experience the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. There's plenty of free time to wander along the canyon rim. A memorable evening is in store for you, as you overnight inside Grand Canyon National Park.
DAY 4: Grand Canyon - Monument Valley.
If you missed the sunset, sunrise is just as impressive! There is time for an optional 'flightseeing' tour of the Grand Canyon - definitely the thrill of a lifetime. Later take a scenic drive across the Kaibab Plateau and through the amazing Painted Desert. After a lunch stop continue into Monument Valley, where the weathering action of wind and water has carved the famous sandstone spires and towers that rise hundreds of feet above the valley floor. You will stay overnight at historic Goulding's Lodge with its panoramic views of the Valley. Take a dip in the pool or take time to explore the Goulding's Museum and Trading Post, part of the set built for John Wayne's film, 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon'. Monument Valley has been featured in numerous movies, from John Ford's 'Stagecoach' to 'Forrest Gump'.
DAY 5: Monument Valley - Lake Powell - Page.
This morning's included four-wheel drive tour is a memorable way to experience Monument Valley. We then head to Page and visit the Glen Canyon Dam, holding back the waters of the Colorado River in Lake Powell, the USA's second largest man-made lake. In the afternoon, how about joining the optional Antelope Canyon cruise, which takes you onto the lake and into the tight winding canyons?
DAY 6: Page - Bryce Canyon National Park.
An optional early morning flight provides another unique perspective on Lake Powell. It also includes Glen Canyon Dam, Wahweap Marina, Tower Butte and Rainbow Bridge, the largest natural arch on earth. We then travel into Utah along the Grand Staircase to Bryce Canyon, where erosion has created delicate towers and deep ravines in a myriad of fantastic colours.
DAY 7: Bryce Canyon National Park - Zion National Park.
Today travel to Zion National Park. Once a refuge for Mormon pioneers, it's a striking landscape of steep canyons and stone towers carved out by rushing streams over millions of years. There is plenty of time to explore the park: take the park shuttle, see the visitor centre, the museum, enjoy a leisurely hike, do some bird-watching, or join a Park Ranger to learn more about the animals, geology, plants and human history. You'll stay overnight close to Zion National Park borders.
DAY 8: Zion National Park - Las Vegas.
This morning begins with an orientation tour of St George, the most important Mormon community in southern Utah. Afterwards, head back to Las Vegas where the remainder of the day is yours to relax, shop or revisit the famous 'Strip'.
DAY 9: Las Vegas - UK.
Transfer to the airport for your flight to the UK, or extend your stay in San Francisco or Las Vegas.
DAY 10: Home landing in the UK.
Maximum elevation on this tour is 8,300 ft.

Experiencing this beauty will leave you breathless. Trips are approximately one and a half hours long and you will travel in a 4-wheel drive vehicle to the Canyon entrance. From there you will walk into the Canyon, you will be at the bottom of the Canyon looking up 130 feet to the top.

Your experienced Navajo guide will show you great places to take photographs as you explore this awe-inspiring wonder.
$35 (US Dollar)
Rainbow Bridge 25-30-Minute Flight
During one of our Rainbow Bridge tours you will discover that the remote regions of northern Arizona hold one of the world's largest natural wonders. Tucked among the rugged and isolated canyons, and spanning over 275 feet wide and 290 feet high, the Rainbow Bridge is an attraction no visitor can miss. Accessibility to the Bridge is limited to hiking, by permit only, a 13-mile trail or a two-hour boat ride from Lake Powell. A place for prayer and worship in the Navajo culture, the Bridge signifies good fortune and is considered a sacred place for tribal members. Rainbow Bridge was not discovered by outsiders until 1909 by two parties who joined together in search of the towering sandstone formation. President Howard Taft declared it a national monument in 1910. (30 minutes, weather dependent)
