Select participants and date
The trip begins before sunrise, when a minivan eases away from the neon of the Las Vegas Strip and the highways stitch open toward the high deserts. By midmorning the city’s glare dissolves into the ochre sweep of the Colorado Plateau: mesas rise like old fortresses, slickrock slopes fold into deep hollows and the air takes on a thin, sun-dry clarity that pushes you to breathe deliberately.

Adventure Tips
Start early
Many highlights—Monument Valley sunrise, Antelope Canyon light beams, and Bryce sunrise—are best seen early; transfers will often start before dawn.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Desert air is deceptively dehydrating; carry at least 2–3 liters per person and sip regularly during drives and short hikes.
Respect guided-site rules
Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley require guided access—stay with your guide, follow instructions, and avoid touching fragile sandstone.
Footwear and layers
Bring sturdy hiking shoes for uneven footing and a light insulating layer—elevations and nights can be much cooler than midday.

Conservation
Many stops operate under tribal permits or national-park rules—follow guides’ instructions, pack out trash, and avoid off-trail travel to protect fragile desert soils and cultural sites.
