DAY 6 Yellowstone National Park The world’s oldest national park, Yellowstone is a wonderland of spouting geysers, terraced hot springs, boiling pools and bubbling mud pots. You may see the extraordinary Yellowstone Canyon with its waterfall twice the height of Niagara, the Fountain Paint Pots and, of course, ‘Old Faithful’, which erupts every 93 minutes, during our visit. The park is also a wildlife sanctuary, with wild bears, elk and herds of buffalo roaming freely. BRANDIN IRON INN, WEST YELLOWSTONE

Named after the Great Salt Lake, Salt Lake City was founded by the Mormons. You’ll have the day to explore or join our optional excursion to the lake. Once


part of the prehistoric Lake Bonneville, today it covers 2,000 square miles and is saltier than the ocean. CRYSTAL INN & SUITES, SALT LAKE CITY


DAY 10 Arches National Park It’s easy to see how Arches National Park was given its name.

An optional, narrated four- wheel drive tour will be available today. CANYON PLAZA RESORT, TUSAYAN


DAY 13 Grand Canyon Eroded over millions of years by the ebb and flow of the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon is surely one of the world’s most intense and absorbing sights.

We’ll continue to Kanab. You may recognise the scenery here, as the town and surrounding desert has often been used as a film set. HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS, KANAB


DAY 14 Bryce Canyon National Park Subtle colours, delicate spires of rock and vast natural amphitheatres are all signatures of the unique geology of Bryce Canyon National Park and we’ll discover them today. Set below an ever-changing sky, the colours of the rocks seem to continuously change with the light. HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS, KANAB
