Colorado River into 186-mile-long Lake Powell! With Tauck, you’ll be able to see its hidden wonders by air; an included 30-minute morning flight* showcases views of the red-rock sculptures including Rainbow Bridge, the world’s largest natural arch at 290 feet high. See more of nature’s architecture up-close on an optional four-hour flightseeing excursion and tour to Monument Valley,* available at an additional cost (see Monument Valley Option). Or, embark on an off-road adventure* to explore mysterious sandstone slot canyons in the Navajo Nation, hidden to most visitors, but revealed with Tauck’s enlightening expert guide. Meals BD
5. RIVER TRIP & BRYCE CANYON This morning’s float trip* on the waters of the Colorado River takes you through Glen Canyon; your experienced river adventure guide imparts a wealth of knowledge about the canyon as you glide past colorful walls of Navajo sandstone, and rock islands. Later, depart the water-filled canyon for an arid world of red rock sculptures as we drive to Bryce Canyon National Park, a wondrous land of pines, peaks, and oddly sculpted hoodoos. Stay tonight at The Lodge at Bryce Canyon, listed on the National Historic Register. Meals BLD
6. BRYCE CANYON & ZION Spend the morning at leisure, perhaps venturing out on one of the park’s renowned hiking trails to observe a great variety of bird species, beautiful wildflowers and diverse wildlife. After lunch, journey to Zion National Park, where colorful sandstone canyons and 3,000-foot-high palisades tower above the lush greenery of the canyon floor. Spend the night at the restored Zion Lodge, the only hotel accommodation inside the park. Meals BLD
7. ZION & ON TO LAS VEGAS The morning is yours to explore Zion’s diverse geological features at leisure; highlights include a trio of peaks known as the Three Patriarchs; the Emerald Pools; and the veil of spring water trickling over Weeping Rock. Depart Zion for a memorable journey across the vast, colorful vistas of the northeastern Mojave Desert to Las Vegas. Join us for a farewell dinner. Meals BLD
