You step off the coach before sunrise and the desert takes a breath: cold air rising from red rock, a hush that feels larger than the highway you left behind. On this two-day sweep from Las Vegas you move between scales — the intimate, twisting ribs of Antelope Canyon and the cathedral-size void of the Grand Canyon — with a helicopter ride offering a brief, cinematic inverse of both.
