Day 2: Monument Valley – Horseshoe Bend (Thursday) Head into Monument Valley to discover one of the Iconic symbols of the American West. Venture deep into the heart of the autonomous Navajo Nation, where the sandstone rocks tower from 400 to 1,000 feet (up to 300 meters) tall. Marvel at the near-vertical mesa buttes and see indigenous shrubs and trees. Take a jeep tour led by a member of the Navajo tribe, and go down into the valley to experience firsthand why they call this land “like no other place on earth.” Stop for an outdoor barbecue lunch (included), and then head to the mighty Colorado River. Visit Horseshoe Bend for a spectacular view, unique to the region. Continue to Lake Powell for your overnight stay at the Clarion Inn in Page. Day 3: Antelope Canyon – Valley of Fire – Las Vegas (Friday) Discover where “the water runs through the rocks” according to local Navajo folklore. Tour the upper Antelope Canyon and visit the spectacular dunes created by wind, water and sand. Start your journey back to Las Vegas, and get a lunch break along the way, before going to the Valley of Fire, named for the magnificent sandstone rock formations in a deep shade of red. Created by shifting sands and dunes during the age of the dinosaurs, the landscape in now more than 150 million years old. Arrive in the valley at the best time of day to see it on “fire” when the powerful rays of the sun reflect off the rocks (weather permitting). Depart the Valley of Fire State Park for an early evening arrival in Las Vegas and the end of the tour services.
