The van pulls off US-89 as the desert folds into a canyon country that looks as if someone took a paintbrush and dragged it across the earth. By midmorning the sun has burned the chill from Las Vegas and the light begins to catch the red walls—an invitation. On a long, full-day run from the Strip you’ll move from wide-open panoramas to the hush of a slot canyon, tracing the Colorado River’s influence from Glen Canyon Dam to the sinuous curve at Horseshoe Bend and the glass-blue pockets of Lake Powell.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate for a long day
Bring 2–3 liters of water and sip steadily—desert sun and long van transfers dehydrate faster than you expect.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, high SPF sunscreen and sunglasses will keep you comfortable on exposed overlooks and parking lots.
Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good tread handle sandy trails, short scramble sections and canyon steps better than sandals.
Respect Navajo rules on photography
Tripods and lingering inside Upper Antelope may be limited—ask your guide before setting up to avoid blocking other groups.
