This vacation of the American Southwest's geological wonderlands includes the
majesty of the Grand Canyon, and an overnight stay among the dramatic rock formations of Monument Valley. This is a week filled with discovery and awe-inspiring beauty and ends on the glamorous “Strip” in Las Vegas

Day 1, Thu. ARRIVE LAS VEGAS.
Welcome to Las Vegas! Transfer on your own to Caesar’s Palace and check in. The hotel is located in the heart of the famous “Strip," with easy access to all the mega-casinos and theme parks. You might plan to arrive early, to explore, try your hand at the tables, or take in a show. This evening join your tour director for a Welcome Reception. (R)

Day 2, Fri. LAS VEGAS / SEDONA.
Journey today from the fast-paced environment of Las Vegas through the desert landscapes of Nevada and Arizona to Sedona, famous for its spectacular red-rock surroundings. Your resort hotel is nestled on the banks of famed Oak Creek and surrounded by 22 acres of lush landscaping, tranquil ponds, cool streams, green willows and pines. (B,D)

Day 3, Sat. SEDONA / GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK.
This morning relax and enjoy the ambience of your elegant resort. Then, an included Pink Jeep Tour, hosted by a safe and knowledgeable driver/guide, shows you the natural and geological history of this magnificent landscape. After lunch in Sedona, pass through Oak Creek Canyon, rated as one of the ten most scenic drives in the U.S. Late this afternoon, you arrive at the South Rim of the dramatic Grand Canyon. Perhaps you may want to join in the optional helicopter flightseeing. (B,D)

Day 4, Sun. GRAND CANYON / MONUMENT VALLEY.
A leisurely start this morning provides ample time to enjoy outstanding views from the edge of the Canyon. After several photo stops along the rim, continue into Navajo and Hopi Indian Country. This evening, secluded Gouldings Lodge and Trading Post offers a rare chance to appreciate the “land of time and room enough” as only natives have for centuries. The lodge offers expansive views over Monument Valley, with its awesome monoliths of stone. (B,D)

Day 5, Mon. MONUMENT VALLEY / LAKE POWELL.
In the cool hours of morning, set off with a Navajo guide in a comfortable all-terrain vehicle. Study the grand formations of Monument Valley and take time to visit a Navajo Hogan. This afternoon presents an exciting option for a “flightseeing”* trip to tonight's destination, the town of Page on the shores of Lake Powell. If you prefer to travel overland, you will drive by motorcoach. Your overnight destination, Wahweap Resort, features excellent resort amenities and sweeping views over Lake Powell. (B,D)

Day 6, Tue. LAKE POWELL.
One spectacular area of the desert Southwest is accessible only by water, and you will see it today with a leisurely boat cruise on Lake Powell. Photograph the fascinating scenes created by the sharply eroded canyon walls before returning to your resort for lunch. The afternoon is at leisure to explore on your own. Endless possibilities await, including swimming in the lake, picnic excursions and guided hikes; float trips, fishing, kayaking, and self-drive motorboat tours. (B,D)

Day 7, Wed. LAKE POWELL / BRYCE NATIONAL PARK.
A day of rich contrasts leads you to Bryce Canyon National Park. The slow erosion of ages has created fantastically sculptured rock formations resembling castle towers and cathedral spires. The natural amphitheatres and canyons glow with different lights throughout the day. Watch too for many wild animals and wildflowers common to the area. (B,D)

Day 8, Thu. ZION NATIONAL PARK.
After a leisurely morning, descend into half-mile deep Zion National Park. This awe-inspiring area was named by Mormon pioneers who were spiritually moved by the fabulous rock formations. Colorful sandstone walls rise thousands of feet above the lush greenery of the canyon floor. Tonight at Zion Lodge, you are the guest of your Tour Director at the Farewell Dinner. Later, gaze in all directions at these magnificent stone walls before turning in for the night. (B,D)

Day 9, Fri. ZION / LAS VEGAS.
After a mid-morning departure, you stop in Saint George to view one of the first Mormon temples in Utah. Cross into the state of Nevada, and return to Las Vegas International Airport for your flight home. Or, you may wish to extend your stay here in lively Las Vegas and catch a famous show. Your post night hotel is Caesar’s Palace where Celine Dion is performing. (B)
