All aboard!

For the first time in many years, we are again offering a showcase journey to the Grand

Canyons of the West, which take in some of the greatest sights in the country, including the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, and Bryce & Zion National Parks, all in a stylish and relaxed vacation where the majority of our hotel stays are two nights long.

From the stunning South Rim of the Grand Canyon, with viewpoints that most other companies do not offer to Upper Antelope Canyon to Zion National Park with its towering sandstone cliffs and Bryce Canyon's hoodoo formations, every day is a visual feast.

As you would expect, we have included two great train rides: the Verde Canyon Railroad through Arizona's Red Rock country and the storied Grand Canyon Railway, which takes us right to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Naturally, we have included fine hotels with breakfast daily, comprehensive sightseeing throughout (included in the price), and some special treats like a cowboy dinner during our stay at Bryce Canyon, along with a visit to the spectacular Valley of Fire. For convenience, our trip ends in Las Vegas, offering excellent air service home with a hotel stay that includes airport transfers and a very special farewell dinner.

Nicest of all, this is a small group tour, with no more than 14 guests enjoying our custom-built Mercedes Sprinter with large windows, two and one seating, and extra comfort.

We have no doubt all of these departures will sell quickly, so prompt reservations are encouraged.

Arrive in sunny Phoenix and transfer to your comfortable hotel, where a complimentary airport shuttle makes arrival easy. This evening, meet your Tour Manager and fellow travelers in the lobby (6–7 PM) for a warm welcome and an informative briefing.  A perfect chance to get acquainted and prepare for the adventure ahead.

A short drive today brings us to the Verde Canyon Railroad for a spectacular 4-hour ride through Arizona’s Redrock country. Relax in climate-controlled coaches or step out to open-air cars for panoramic views of towering cliffs, ancient ruins, and the winding Verde River.  Continue to Williams for an overnight stay at the Best Western Plus Inn (or similar). Dinner included.

Board the historic Grand Canyon Railway this morning and arrive at the Grand Canyon Village Depot in vintage style. Spend the day exploring the South Rim, where breathtaking viewpoints and endless vistas await. Later, travel along Desert View Drive before driving to Page, where we begin our two-night stay in this beautiful setting on Lake Powell Resort.

Set out on a guided tour of Upper Antelope Canyon, where sunbeams dance across the sculpted sandstone walls. Visit the Carl Hayden Visitor Center and Glen Canyon Dam, then take in sweeping views of Lake Powell. In the evening, enjoy a casual hosted dinner. Second overnight in Page, AZ.

Explore the stunning landscapes of Zion National Park, renowned for its towering sandstone clffs and scenic trails. Later, arrive at Bryce Canyon to witness a breathtaking sunset over its iconic hoodoos. Enjoy the comfort of a two-night stay at the acclaimed Ruby’s Inn, offering a wide array of dining and entertainment options.

Spend the day discovering Bryce Canyon’s stunning amphitheater, filled with vibrant hoodoos and panoramic overlooks. As the sun sets, enjoy a lively cowboy dinner at Ebenezer’s, complete with local flavor and Western hospitality.

Travel toward Las Vegas with a stop in St. George to admire the stunning Mormon Temple. Enjoy a quick scenic drive through Valley of Fire State Park, famed for its fiery red sandstone formations that have starred in Hollywood _films. Tonight, settle into your comfortable Las Vegas accommodation, such as the DoubleTree by Hilton or similar, just minutes from the Strip with a complimentary airport shuttle. Celebrate the journey with a memorable farewell dinner at an Uncommon Journeys tradition, Lawry’s Prime Rib for simply the best prime rib in America.

Your memorable adventure concludes as you prepare for your journey home. Safe travels and fond memories await you until your next trip with us. For guests who would like more time in Las Vegas, we have special hotel rates available with details on request.
