   You will meet your guide early this morning at your hotel in Las Vegas (not included). From the lights of Las Vegas you will make your way towards the vast expanse of one of the world’s greatest wonders – The Grand Canyon.

Then on to Williams, AZ via Interstate 40.

   Once you arrive at the Grand Canyon, you will have the opportunity to visit the many viewpoints on the rim including Mather Point, Yavapai Point, Yaki Point, Powell Point and many others. You can stroll along the rim or for the more adventurous individuals, you can hike down the South Kaibab Trail or Bright Angel Trail into the canyon itself.

   Day 2

   Grand Canyon South Rim National Park & Antelope Canyon

   Today, enjoy more of the Grand Canyon South Rim. You will visit the Grandview Point and the Desert Watchtower and a few viewpoints and areas in between. Once you leave the park this morning, you will travel to Cameron Junction for a brief stop before traveling along the edge of the Painted Desert to Page, AZ. After lunch in town you will have the choice of exploring Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon. Upper Antelope Canyon is less strenuous and is strikingly beautiful. Its half mile walk is on even ground and easy to do. Lower Antelope Canyon is more adventurous that requires a 2-mile hike on uneven terrain and scrambling. Lower Antelope Canyon is also very scenic and is worth the exploration.

   Once finished you will transfer to back to Page, AZ and enjoy a 2-mile round-trip hike out to Horseshoe Bend and a photo stop at Glen Canyon Dam before retiring to your hotel. You will be free to enjoy Page, AZ for the evening.
