About This Tour


Discover the diversity of colors, textures and shapes in natures' majestic rock formations in three western national parks: Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon. Sedona's artist colony is also a part of this classic American vacation. After leisurely park overnight stays with plenty of time to explore these great natural masterpieces and local Native America culture, enjoy a two days in the well-known, deluxe Aladdin hotel in the heart of the neon-lit strip in Las Vegas. Enjoy the stark beauty of Monument Valley's flat, often desolate plain in a jeep ride narrated by a member of the Navajo tribe. Descriptions of the tribe's long history, sacred traditions and culture are even more fascinating when set among dramatic landscape of the tall spires and flat-topped mesas that have been their home for centuries. Stand in awe as generations of Americans have before you at the Grand Canyon. Your predecessors include President Theodore Roosevelt, who spearheaded some of the earliest efforts to preserve the natural treasures of the American West. Simple pleasures abound during a two-day at the Lake Powell Resort, which overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the lake. Glittering, glamorous Las Vegas, your home for your final two nights, is where you can lounge by the pool, go hiking, take in the many shows, or try your luck in the casinos.

Day 1
Phoenix, Arizona - Sedona - Tour Begins
Fall under Sedona’s spell as you experience the sheer, exuberant beauty of this destination. The area’s canyons, wind-shaped buttes and dramatic sandstone towers embody the rugged character of the West. Upon arrival, the day is yours to enjoy beautiful Sedona at your leisure.

Day 2
Sedona
This morning will be the highlight of your trip as you enjoy a chat with a local Native American tribe member. Learn about the different tribes of the area, their histories, and modern day life of Native Americans in Arizona. Next, it''s "all aboard" for a fascinating trolley tour of Sedona featuring a visit to the famous Chapel of the Holy Cross, Gallery Row, Jordan Historic Park, Lower Schnebly Hill Vista and other Sedona sights. You will have time on your own for lunch prior to a scenic adventure exploring the route taken to Flagstaff by the town’s first settlers. Your jeep ride will take you along a dirt road up to approximately 1500 ft above Sedona. Throughout this journey you will have spectacular picture opportunities as well as the chance to learn about the history of the rocks and the various movies that were filmed in the area. This is a photographer’s dream trip. The remainder of your day is at leisure to explore the many shops and galleries or perhaps visit the Mexican-style village of Tlaquepaque.

Day 3
Sedona - Grand Canyon National Park
This morning you will travel through Oak Creek Canyon, where rock formations seem to change hue with every turn in the road, before arriving in Williams for your Grand Canyon Railway experience. Here you will relive the excitement of the Old West aboard a historic train which travels across miles of beautiful northern Arizona countryside to the Grand Canyon. Strolling musicians and western characters combine to recreate train travel as it was at the turn-of-the-century. Behold amazing views of the Grand Canyon when you arrive at the South Rim. Theodore Roosevelt, upon visiting the canyon, is quoted as saying, “This is one of the great sights which every American, if he can travel at all, must see.”

Day 4
Grand Canyon National Park - Las Vegas, Nevada
Leave nature’s beauty behind for the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas strip. Probably the most famous stretch of road in the world, its 4 miles of neon-lit resorts with around-the-clock action is like nowhere else on earth. A three-night stay provides you plenty of time to enjoy the shows, the casinos and all the fun.

Day 5
Las Vegas
Today is yours to do as you please. Lounge by the pool sipping cool drinks, experience an amazing one-of-a-kind show, go hiking, or try your luck in the casino. Or perhaps explore the hotels on the strip with themes that capture your attention as you get swept away by the wonders inside. Take time to visit Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef aquarium or stop by the Luxor to see the sphinxes and pyramid. New York-New York brings the “Big Apple” to life right on the Vegas strip. See the Eiffel Tower, “ooh” and “ahh” at the Mirage volcano, or watch pirates battle at Treasure Island. The Las Vegas strip brings the world to you.

Day 6
Las Vegas
Enjoy another full day to do as you please. Perhaps you will decide to take advantage of the many opportunities available at your hotel to take a more in depth tour outside of Las Vegas to one of the surrounding landmark sights of the area.

Day 7
Las Vegas - Tour Ends
Depart for home with amazing memories of your vacation to America’s Canyon Country.
