Day 1: San Jose to Las Vegas, Nevada

Enjoying so many shows in Las Vegas that you can't possibly take them all in, but there's not a doubt you will find something that will blow you away: acrobats, divas, magicians, jokesters, showgirls and puppets. Walking on Las Vegas Blvd, fascinated by the Fountain of Bellagio, the music show at Mirage, ect...

Day 2:  Las Vegas to Bryce to Antelop, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell in Arizona

Antelope Canyon is situated east of Page, Arizona, and belongs to the Navajo Nation. It is a narrow split in the rock. The canyon presents itself in rich, deep colors with a sandy floor that change their color almost by the minute. The miracle happens during mid-day from April to September. All of a sudden, bright beams of light enter the canyon and illuminate floors and walls with a subtle light.

 Horseshoe Bend is a miracle of nature, a true wonder of the American West, carved by the waters of the Colorado River over millennia as it made its way to the Grand Canyon. Famous view of Horseshoe Bend at sunset. Take the time to take some pictures and admire the gorgeous panorama. Early morning and early evening are the best times to photograph Horseshoe bend.

 Lake Powell, lying partly in Arizona and mostly in Utah, is more than 500 feet deep in places, 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline, which is longer than the entire west coast of the continental United States. There are 96 major canyons to explore, so you could spend the next 30 years exploring Lake Powell and still not experience all it offers.

Day 3:  Antelop to Zion & Bryce National Parks in Utah 

In 1917, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service visited the canyon and proposed changing its name from the locally unpopular Mukuntuweap to Zion, a name used by the local Mormon community. The United States Congress added more land and established Zion National Park on November 19, 1919. (According to Wikipedia).

If you are a history or movie buff, you are bound to find enjoyment in visiting the Red Canyon. Red Canyon is located along Scenic Byway 12, only 17 miles from Bryce Valley Lodging. Filled with geological riches, wild-west history. Red Canyon offers the beautitful-drive-through scenic, etc... Please note we only drive through Red Canyon due to time limit.

The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon was originally designated as a national monument by President Warren G. Harding in 1923 and was redesignated as a national park by Congress in 1928. (According to Bryce Canyon National Park – Wikipedia). 

Day 4: Zion to Las Vegas, Fremont Street, City Tour

Downtown Las Vegas is located in the center of the Las Vegas Valley and just north of the Las Vegas Strip, centered on Fremont Street, the Fremont Street Experience and Fremont East. The city defines the area as bounded by I-15 on the west, Washington Avenue on the north, Maryland Parkway on the east and Sahara Avenue on the south. Downtown is the central business district and historic center of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the original townsite and was the gambling district of Las Vegas prior to the Strip, and the area still incorporates downtown gaming. As the urban core of the Las Vegas Valley, it features a variety of hotel and business highrises, cultural centers, historical buildings and government institutions, as well as residential and retail developments.
