Day 1 – Arrive in Las Vegas
Arrive today in exciting Las Vegas and spend the night on the glittering “Fremont Street Experience.” You’ll have the remainder of the day at leisure for relaxation, enjoying the free entertainment presented on Fremont Street, plus time to test your chances at the gaming tables or slot machines.

Day 2 – Pipe Spring National Monument and the North Rim
Heading into Arizona, we’ll visit the old Mormon fort at Pipe Spring National Monument, then continue on to the North Rim of magnificent Grand Canyon National Park, where we’ll spend the next two nights just steps away from one of the world’s great spectacles. Dinner awaits in the Grand Canyon Lodge dining room.

Day 3 – Discover the Grand Canyon and Cape Royal and Point Imperial
A full day to experience the wonders of the Grand Canyon begins with an excursion to Cape Royal and Point Imperial, offering incomparable views of this gaping chasm, about one mile deep and ten miles across. Those who have visited the heavily-traveled South Rim will be surprised to see that the views and environment are distinctively different here. You’ll have the afternoon for hiking to nearby Bright Angel Point, ranger-conducted programs or simply relaxing.

Day 4 – Vermilion Cliffs and Lake Powell Cruise
A scenic drive along Vermilion Cliffs National Monument brings us to the impressive Colorado River Gorge at Navajo Bridge. Near Page this afternoon, we’ll visit massive Glen Canyon Dam before a “Canyons Adventure” cruise on sky-blue Lake Powell through Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Dinner has been arranged at the Antelope Point Marina.

Day 5 – Monument Valley Jeep Tour
This morning we’ll visit Navajo National Monument to view the Betatakin Ruin. Later we continue on to incredible Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, where numerous Western movies, television shows and commercials have been filmed. A traditional Navajo lunch and Navajo-guided, four-wheel drive tour are included in our visit. En route to Bluff, Utah, we’ll pause at Goosenecks State Park for stunning views of the San Juan River Canyons. Dinner tonight is at the Cottonwood Steak House.

Day 6 – Natural Bridges and Capitol Reef National Park
After a visit to the Puebloan ruins at Edge of the Cedars State Park, next comes sightseeing and a picnic lunch at Natural Bridges National Monument, home to three mighty stone bridges, viewable from convenient overlooks. An afternoon scenic drive brings us to impressive Capitol Reef National Park, where white sandstone “domes” cap massive reef-like cliffs. We’ll spend the night in Torrey.

Day 7 – Escalante Grand Staircase and Bryce Canyon National Park
A memorable day begins on Utah’s incredible Highway 12 Scenic Byway, winding through spectacular Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. Reaching the famed “Pink Cliffs” of Bryce Canyon National Park, we’ll follow the Rim Drive to view vividly-colored, fantastic rock forms approximating castles, temples, even whole cities sculptured in stone! Later we’ll motor through the slickrock canyons and historic tunnel of Zion National Park, and soon check in for two nights in Springdale.

Day 8 – Zion National Park
Today features awe-inspiring Zion National Park, where the Virgin River has cut a dramatic rugged gorge through multi-hued sandstone, shale and limestone. We’ll look up at the towering rock walls surrounding us on all sides as we tour this incredible natural wonder aboard open-air sightseeing trams, plus enjoy time for exploring on our own or shopping in picturesque Springdale. Tonight’s “farewell” dinner will be served at our lodge.

Day 9 – Homeward Bound
This morning we’ll leave Utah and travel through the Virgin River Gorge en route to Las Vegas McCarren International Airport for flights home departing after 1:00 p.m.
