Day One: 

We’ll leave the Valley this morning as we head north toward the cool mountain air of Flagstaff. Late morning, we’ll enjoy lunch on self in historic downtown Flagstaff, where a wide variety of local restaurants, cafés, and familiar favorites offer something for everyone. After lunch, we’ll take time to explore the charming streets—lined with galleries, bookshops, and interesting local stores—before continuing north.

As the scenery opens to wide desert vistas and striking rock formations, we’ll make our scenic drive to Page, where the Colorado River meets Lake Powell. By late afternoon, we’ll check into the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Page–Lake Powell, our home for the next two nights. After time to relax, we’ll head out for dinner on self at The Dam Bar & Grill, a longtime local favorite known for classic comfort dishes. Enjoy a free evening afterward.

Day Two: 

Breakfast is included at the hotel before we set out for one of the most memorable experiences of the tour. This morning we’ll travel to Lee’s Ferry to begin our Horseshoe Bend Raft Trip, operated by Wilderness River Adventures.

This smooth-water float offers a wonderfully relaxing way to experience the dramatic beauty of the Colorado River and Glen Canyon—perfect for travelers seeking adventure without whitewater. After a short scenic drive, we’ll board a comfortable motorized pontoon raft for approximately three hours on the river. Towering sandstone cliffs rise more than a thousand feet above us, creating a peaceful yet awe-inspiring setting.

Along the way, professional guides share engaging narration about the region’s geology, Indigenous history, and early river exploration. We’ll pass petroglyph sites, watch for wildlife, and enjoy unforgettable views as the river winds toward the iconic curve of Horseshoe Bend—all from the calm comfort of the raft. Lunch and bottled water are included today.

Late afternoon, we’ll return to Page with time to freshen up before heading out for dinner included at Gone West Restaurant. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, live country music, and hearty Western-inspired cuisine, our included dinner features a garden salad, entrée, dessert, and soft drinks (alcoholic beverages available for purchase). After dinner, enjoy a free evening back at the hotel.

Day Three: 

Breakfast is included at the hotel before it’s bags out and we’re off for an unforgettable morning. Today we’ll visit Lower Antelope Canyon, located on Navajo land and accessible only by guided tour.

Lower Antelope Canyon is shaped like a “V,” allowing more light into the canyon and creating stunning layers of color, curves, and textures. Many visitors consider it the more adventurous of the two Antelope canyons, with narrow corridors and fascinating twists and turns. There are several sets of stairs leading into and out of the canyon—about 130 steps total—made of metal with sturdy handrails. The initial descent is steep, and guests are welcome to take their time. Local Navajo guides assist throughout, and thousands of visitors successfully complete the tour each year.

After our canyon experience, we’ll stop at the Horseshoe Bend Overlook to take in the breathtaking views from above—offering a completely different perspective after seeing the bend from the river the day before.

Early afternoon, we’ll begin our journey home with lunch on self at the historic Cameron Trading Post. With an expansive menu and time to browse Native American arts and gifts, it’s a perfect final stop before we continue home with scenic stops along the way—bringing our remarkable adventure to a close.
