Learn about the geology and wildlife of the region from a local geology expert in a perfect location, right on the rim. And no Grand Canyon tour would be complete without exploring the canyon rim and Canyon Village as you please, witnessing the rugged landscape's vast grandeur and changing colors as the sun climbs in the sky. Travel through the Navajo Reservation en route to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, for a two-night stay. A lecture on the ecology of the Southwest is followed by a true highlight - a private Lake Powell dinner cruise aboard the sleek double-decked yacht
Canyon Princess.
Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Accommodation: Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas, Page, AZ
Day 4 - Perspectives on Lake Powell
See remote corners of 186-mile-long Lake Powell -
created from the Colorado River by the Glen Canyon Dam in the 1960s - from a
variety of perspectives. First take an included early morning, 30-minute flight*
to see the unusual red-rock formations reflecting in the lake; view Rainbow
Bridge, the world's largest natural arch. Back on land, choose either a Lake
Powell boat trip*, or a four-wheel-drive adventure* to hidden Antelope Canyon,
whose sandstone walls seem to change color. You have an option (at an additional
cost of $199) to take a four-hour excursion to Monument Valley* in the Navajo
Nation, made famous as a setting of many westerns by director John Ford; combine
aerial sightseeing with a land tour by a Navajo guide through rock buttes and
spires - ask at time of booking.

Day 5 - Rafting on the Colorado River and on to Bryce Canyon
Led by a river adventure guide, take a float trip*
down the Colorado River, admiring Glen Canyon's sandstone walls before setting
off for Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park. Have lunch en route as you travel
across quintessential western landscapes as seen on both the big and small
screens. Arrive in Bryce Canyon National Park, where you'll immediately be awed
by towering rock pinnacles, strangely sculptured hoodoos and immense
semi-circular rock amphitheatres. Keep an eye out for elk, coyotes, marmots, and
prairie dogs while driving the canyon rim road. Overnight at a classic national
park lodge listed on the National Historic Register.

Day 6 - Explore Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks
During your free morning, perhaps rise early to watch the sun rise over the hoodoos, or hike on Bryce Canyon's trails to seek out more dramatic views of the park's remarkable features, wildflowers, birds and wildlife. America's Canyonlands began with a Grand Canyon tour, followed by Bryce Canyon - and continues next to Zion National Park, boasting steep canyon walls, odd geologic formations, and a complex ecological system ranging from desert plants to lush greenery on the canyon floor. You'll spend the night in historic Zion Lodge, the only accommodation within the national park itself.
