Unlike the Grand Canyon where one stands on the rim and looks out, Zion Canyon is best viewed from the bottom looking up. Continue to Bryce Canyon; this National Park includes some of Earth’s most colorful rocks, which have been sculpted by erosion into pillars called ‘hoodoos’ and other fantastic forms. Iron oxides give red, yellow and brown tints to the limestone, while manganese oxides lend a lavender hue. The most brilliant hues in the park come alive with the rising and setting of the sun.

Over the years, Monument Valley has been the setting for more Western movies than any other site in the United States. Unique sandstone formations punctuate the sometimes barren landscape and spires rise into strange formations that have inspired names such as “Three Sisters” and “The Thumb.” At dawn and dusk, the park comes to life when the sun transforms this area into a bright canvas, painting the monoliths with light and color. Located on the north and central parts of the Navajo Reservation, some of these native people still inhabit this land. Continue to Lake Powell for an overnight stay.

R and M. Sunman, Indiana – July 2, 2019

I have been meaning to write to tell you how much we enjoyed out trip in June. The scenery was fantastic ! The Kia Sedona we picked up in Denver only had 9 miles on it and drove great. Everything went very smoothly with the accommodations (one of the hotels even had us in a suite). Thanks for all of your excellent planning. We will continue to recommend your service to our friends and relatives.
