Highlights
Sedona: Experience the essence of the great American road trip, as you travel through the Red Rock Scenic Byway. Along your journey you will be immersed in the stunning, natural peaks and rock formations of the Red Rock Country, that look as though they could have been shaped by the countless artists they have inspired.
Sedona: With its red stone formations that create a haunting skyline found nowhere else in the world. This is where Arizona keeps the Old West. And this is where a New West has evolved, as a haven for creatives, a centre of spiritual health and enlightenment, and an epic playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
Monument Valley: Stop at the famous “Forrest Gump” backdrop on U.S. 163, where the straight highway lines up with Monument Valley’s buttes.
Monument Valley: Visit Goosenecks State Park for a rim-top viewpoint over the San Juan River as it loops through deep, entrenched bends carved into the rock. You’ll look down on one of the Southwest’s most striking river meanders, with wide-open desert views stretching beyond the canyon.
Zion National Park: Beneath soaring Navajo Sandstone cliffs, Zion Canyon follows the Virgin River through hanging gardens and cottonwoods. Look out for the Court of the Patriarchs and the Great White Throne as the canyon walls rise above the valley floor.
Monument Valley: Walk out to the Horseshoe Bend overlook above the Colorado River, where the water curves in a near-perfect horseshoe around a sandstone fin. You’ll reach the rim viewpoint on foot, with time for photos and a clear sense of the scale carved into the desert landscape.
Bryce Canyon National Park: Visit Bryce Canyon and look out over a series of natural amphitheatres carved into the Paunsaugunt Plateau, packed with the park’s hoodoo rock spires. Take in the views from the rim and see the scale of the formations from above.
