Today, you’ll drive to your next destination - Bryce Canyon National Park. This Utah gem is a bit smaller than Zion National Park, but its peaks reach incredible heights of 9,000 feet! Be sure to charge up your camera so you can snap pictures of the rusty red, orange, and white rock formations.
Drive to the next US state in your journey - Arizona! You’ll spend your day in Page. Don't miss the breathtaking view from the Glen Canyon Dam. You can discover the Navajo Village Heritage Center to learn more about this history and culture of the area. Be sure to try the local cuisine - excellent barbecue, steak, and burritos!
Today, drive to the pièce de résistance of Arizona - The Grand Canyon! Stay in Grand Canyon Village, just outside the national park entrance so you can spend plenty of time admiring this incredible world wonder. Drive the winding roads with stop-off points for viewing the canyon!
Spend an afternoon hiking the Bright Angel Trail through the Canyon! Or if you feel like driving a bit more, check Mohave Point. It’s considered one of the most incredible canyon views in the world - colorful striped cliffs and rocky landscapes for miles! If you have time, travel on to Hermit Road for another highly rated walking path.
Drive to Sedona today! You’ll encounter even more incredible scenery and culture at this destination. A visit to Montezuma Castle National Monument is a great way to get to know the culture of the Sinagua people, who built incredible cliffside living spaces. Visit Slide Rock state park, to see the famous rock slide at Oak Creek, and stop at their apple orchard for some fresh fruit!
Today, you’ll buckle up and drive to Lake Havasu City! Check out the Lake Havasu Museum of History to learn about the area, relax on London Bridge Beach, and walk along the water! Head to the popular Sara Park Rodeo Grounds to bike the pathways and experience the desert in a whole new way.
