Duration: 11 Days
If you haven’t stood before fairy chimneys or squatting goblins, then you haven’t been on a holiday that truly rocks. Leading you to the nation’s most fascinating chasms, hoodoos, and other rock formations, this canyonlands holiday is as multi-layered as the ancient tiers of stone that formed them. Starting under the neon lights of Las Vegas, you’ll make your way to the flame-coloured walls of six national parks throughout Arizona and Utah, including Grand Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks. Rock on with a Lake Powell boat cruise through stunning Glen Canyon and a 4-wheel drive ride through the Navajo Nation’s majestic Monument Valley. Backcountry barbecues, wine tastings, and rustic, resort lodges within a stone’s throw of the nation’s most spellbinding views only deepen your canyonlands experience.
