Spectacular Desert
Canyons
Grand, Bryce, and Zion Canyons
This tour of the Canyons features some of
the most spectacular scenery in the US.
It includes overnight accommodation at
Grand and Bryce National Park Lodges, as
well as the Red Cliffs Lodge and Lake Powell
Resort, both of which are located in the
heart of this amazing scenery. The Grand
Canyon, for example,
offers intricate
layering, maze-like
side canyons, vivid
colours, and epic
visual scale. It’s 445.8
km’s. long, up to 29
km’s wide and over
1.6 km’s deep, cutting
down through more
than two billion years
of geologic time,
exposing some of the oldest rocks on earth.
Another canyon wonder is Bryce, distinctive
due to geological structures called hoodoos,
formed by frost weathering and stream
erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary
rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of
the rocks provide spectacular views. Bryce
sits at a much higher elevation than nearby
Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies
from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
But let’s not forget the other canyons on the
