The van eases out of Las Vegas before dawn, city lights sliding into desert black as a high-roof business van hummed with quiet conversation. Leather recliners and Starlink Wi‑Fi soften the long hours between parks, but the landscape insists on being noticed: cliffs that climb like slow-motion eruptions, river water cutting a hard green line through rust-colored stone, and canyons that funnel light into theatrical shafts.

Adventure Tips
Hydration and refills
Carry a 1–2L refillable water bottle; refill often—the guides provide bottled water but desert heat and elevation demand more fluids.
Antelope Canyon camera rules
Tripods and monopods are not permitted inside Antelope Canyon—plan for handheld photography and check Navajo permit restrictions.
Layer for temperature swings
Bring a warm layer for Bryce and high-rim viewpoints; temperatures can drop quickly at elevation, especially after sunset.
Sun and monsoon caution
In summer, protect against intense sun and check for monsoon-driven flash floods—follow guides’ instructions near slot canyons.
Local Insights
Wildlife

History
This route crosses Navajo and Ancestral Puebloan lands; Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon are on Navajo Nation, where access and storytelling are guided by tribal stewards.
Conservation
Respect Navajo permitting, stay on trails, and carry out waste—these desert soils and fragile cryptobiotic crusts recover slowly from disturbance.
