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.
