We were amazed. This region is breathtaking: we crossed 3 states (Nevada, Utah, Arizona) and 3 time zones and we were amazed every minute.
Zion-Bryce-Moab (08/09 to 08/11)
We started with the oldest park, Zion National Park, with its immense red sandstone cliffs and breathtaking hikes. Then we went to Bryce Canyon: it was surreal, with its hoodoos standing under a clear sky. Then, Canyonlands, a veritable maze of canyons and mesas, plunged us into the wild immensity of the desert. Capitol Reef, with its colorful rock formations, allowed us to discover a less visited but equally fascinating area. Finally, Dead Horse Point offered spectacular panoramic views of the Colorado.
Moab-Monument Valley-Page-Horseshoe Bend (08/11 to 08/14)
Then we reached Moab, a picturesque town surrounded by spectacular landscapes. We explored Arches National Park, famous for its iconic rock formations. Next, we took a detour to Goosenecks, where the meandering Colorado River offers great views. Monument Valley, with its famous red buttes, immersed us in the world of westerns. We then reached the turquoise waters of Lake Powell before discovering the sublime curves of Antelope Canyon. One wonders how such a place could have been created. Finally, Horseshoe Bend gave us a majestic panorama of one of the most beautiful bends of the Colorado River.
Page-Grand Canyon-Las Vegas (08/14 to 08/19)
We stayed 3 nights in Page and one evening we had dinner in a famous Texan BBQ restaurant, "Big John's Texas BBQ". The children, and us too, really appreciated the simplicity and friendliness of this place. . On the road to the Grand Canyon, we had the chance to admire majestic buffalo roaming free around Glendale. Then, arrival at the Grand Canyon, a must, where the breathtaking panoramas left us speechless. To end this adventure, we took the road to Las Vegas, the city of excess, for one last memorable evening under its sparkling lights.
