on your own or booking an optional tour with sunrise breakfast at the famed El Tovar Lodge. Then, head to Monument Valley. Boasting natural sandstone masterpieces that tower to heights up to 1,000 feet, this sacred valley is owned and operated by the Navajo Nation.

Day 4 • Bryce Canyon via Zion National Park

Depart this morning heading west to Zion National Park. The half-mile deep park floor is lush with foliage, as well as mule deer, wild turkeys, gray foxes and the occasional porcupine. After lunch, continue to Bryce Canyon. Despite its name, Bryce is not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters. Its distinctive geological structures, called hoodoos, were formed by frost weathering and stream erosion from the river. Standing at the rim, you are offered spectacular views in red, orange and white that will surely be spellbinding.

✦✦ Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino or similar

Day 2 • Grand Canyon

Start your tour with the grandest of all parks in the West — the Grand Canyon! Travel via I-40, cross historic Route 66 and stop at the first viewpoints driving into the park before we end the day by the South Rim. You will stay the night inside the park, where the park shuttle system and the lodge's close proximity to the rim make it easy to take it all in at your own pace and allow you to witness sunset and sunrise if you choose-truly a "must see!" The evening and the sunset, making the canyon glow in many hues of red and purple, is yours to enjoy!

✦✦ Yavapai Lodge West or similar

Day 3 • Page/Lake Powell via Monument Valley

Rise early to witness an unforgettable sunrise over the canyon, either by walking to the rim

America’s National Parks system is the envy of the world, and on our 14-day tour you will get to visit 9† different National Parks for one low price. Most Americans only get to see one or two of these parks in their lifetime, so seeing nine of them in one trip is truly amazing!
