We begin the day with a panoramic journey across America’s most biologically varied desert region, the Sonoran Desert. Traveling further in the direction of Sedona, take in breathtaking views of unusual geological formations and pass by well-known red-rock monoliths like the Cathedral or Coffee Pot. After that, we take a trip through the magnificent Oak Creek Canyon, which sets the stage for the renowned Grand Canyon National Park—one of the world’s seven major natural marvels and a beautiful scene! Take a moment to stop at the canyon’s edge and thoroughly enjoy this vibrant, mile-deep ravine with all of its tumbling gorges and towering spires created by the strong Colorado River.

We continue our journey with a visit to the massive Glen Canyon structure, the country’s second-highest concrete arch structure.
