Itinerary

The Grand Canyon National Park South Rim

Today’s journey takes you through the Mojave Desert and along historic Route 66 to the Grand Canyon South Rim—one of the world’s seven natural wonders. Once there, you’ll have time to explore at your own pace: hike into the canyon, walk along the rim, or relax at a café with stunning views. For a next-level experience, opt for a helicopter tour over the canyon. A sandwich-style lunch is included. Wrap up the day with a sunset view over this incredible landscape.

Then head to Zion National Park, where the Virgin River has carved towering white, pink, and red Navajo sandstone cliffs. Ancient petrified sand dunes rise 2,000 feet above the canyon floor, making this a photographer’s dream.
