 2010: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CANYONLAND W/LAS VEGAS EXT. (8525)
10 days from Las Vegas to Las Vegas Explore the captivating canyonlands on this unforgettable vacation! Your trip begins among the neon lights of Las Vegas before heading east to experience the Grand Canyon, where you overnight in the park and have time to wander along the canyon rim. While at the Grand Canyon, enjoy a spectacular sunrise or sunset. From the Grand Canyon, continue into Navajo country and Monument Valley for time to dip in the pool and admire the beauty around you. Have your camera ready for some spectacular shots during your 4-wheel drive tour of mystical Monument Valley. Then head west for Page and Lake Powell. After Page, a day of contrasts leads you to Bryce Canyon National Park, where years of erosion have carved colorful sandstone into thousands of spires, arches, and mazes. Finally, head to Zion National Park and enjoy the beauty and peace offered at this park-with its massive canyon walls ascending toward the blue sky. You have time in Zion National Park to explore, hike, bird watch, or join a Park Ranger to learn more about the animals, geology, plants, and human history within the park. Return to the excitement of Las Vegas for three nights and time to visit the shops, casinos, and famous restaurants; or just relax-a perfect way to end your canyonlands vacation!
