Howdy partners! After landing at Phoenix International Airport, you’ll hitch a ride to your all-suite hotel in Scottsdale where you’ll meet your Tour Director this afternoon.

Day 2
SCOTTSDALE - SEDONA - FLAGSTAFF
A drive through the Sonoran Desert brings you to Montezuma Castle National Monument, one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America. Take a minute to ponder the Sinagua Indians’ life here in the desert before heading to Sedona in spectacular "Red Rock Country." Climb into a jeep for a rip-roarin’ ride into spectacular Dry Creek Basin. At the old Van Deren Cabin, learn what it was really like to be a cowboy in the Old West. After a stunning drive through Oak Creek Canyon, arrive in Flagstaff, a former Route 66 outpost. This evening you’ll visit the Lowell Observatory, a National Historic Landmark, where Pluto was discovered in 1930. Whether you and your family are casual stargazers or avid astronomers, you’ll love viewing the infinite skies through the powerful observatory telescopes. Out of this world!

Meal(s): (Full Breakfast / Dinner)
Hotel: Radisson Woodlands Hotel (F)
 
Day 3
FLAGSTAFF - GRAND CANYON RAILWAY - GRAND CANYON
Guard your wallets and purses! The infamous Cataract Creek Gang, as lowly a group of varmints that ever rode the range, has come to town to rob unsuspecting holidayers! Climbing aboard the historic Grand Canyon Railway, you’ll pass through majestic Ponderosa Pines, the high desert and the Kaibab National Forest while hearing tall tales and folklore about the area. Keep your eye out for wildlife – it’s not uncommon to spot elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope sauntering through this wild and woolly region. Nothing on earth can prepare you for the Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world, more than 1.7 billion years in the making! With a local specialist, you'll learn how the Grand Canyon was formed and become a rock expert yourself as you examine samples from the multi-coloured sedimentary layers formed as the sea washed in again and again. As the sun sets, join your Tour Director for an unforgettable walk along the rim.

Meal(s): (Full Breakfast)
Hotel: National Park Lodges (NP)
 
Day 4
GRAND CANYON - MONUMENT VALLEY - LAKE POWELL (2 nights)
Fred Grofé was so stunned by the spectacular beauty of the sunrise over the Grand Canyon, he composed his Grand Canyon Suite in 1931. But all you have to do is watch – and maybe whistle – in amazement as the skies glow and brighten with the coming day. Drive along Desert View Drive, featuring jaw-dropping views of the Grand Canyon, before entering Navajo Country. Here you can poke around the Historic Cameron Trading Post and hunt for a great piece of Southwest Native American art. Next stop: the Code Talkers Exhibit in Kayenta. Learn how the Navajos were one of America’s greatest secret weapons in World War II and why GIs were ordered to protect the Wind Talkers with their lives. You’ll also see why Monument Valley is a favourite location for movie directors. As you're bouncing along the valley floor in an open-air vehicle, you can just imagine John Wayne leading the U.S. Cavalry on a ride along the magnificent mesas. Wrap up your exciting day at a lakeside resort tucked into the red rock at amazing Lake Powell. Kick off your boots and have some fun at a Poolside Pizza Party Highlight Dinner! After, enjoy a super cool slide show presentation all about the striking geology and survival strategies of the desert wildlife of the Canyonlands by an expert naturalist.

Day 6
LAKE POWELL - ZION & BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARKS (2 nights)
You’ll be awestruck by the towering cliffs and massive canyon walls of Zion Canyon. Riding the park’s shuttle, marvel at how the Virgin River cut through the sandstone to create one of Mother Nature’s most stupendous wonders. Enjoy hiking? There’s an easy trek to the Emerald Pools, where splendid views and beautiful waterfalls will make the family happier than a crowd of cowpokes at chow time. There’s also a more strenuous hike to Angel’s Landing, which will prove rewarding when you gaze at amazing views of the canyon. Leaving Zion, drive along the Mount Carmel Highway for spectacular views of Zion Canyon, the Great Arch of Zion and the distinctive Checkerboard Mesa. Soon you’ll arrive at historic Ruby’s Inn at Bryce Canyon for the last two nights of your Wild West adventure.

Day 7
BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK SIGHTSEEING & AT LEISURE
Exploring Bryce Canyon is like entering a weird and eerie world, with sandstone spires called hoodoos creating a landscape that is a playground for the imagination. Explore the rim of a great amphitheatre stopping at various look-outs to snap pictures of fairytale castles, wondrous cathedrals, meandering trails and secret hideaways, all carved out of stone by Mother Nature. This afternoon you’re free to blaze your own trail. Later, put on your cowboy boots and Stetsons for a Cowboy Farewell Dinner filled with good food and good fun. Afterwards, mosey on over to the Bryce Canyon Country Rodeo to watch bronco busters and cowboys test their skills in the wildest competition to ever hit the West (Memorial Day to Labor Day).
