DAY BY DAY ITINERARY

DAY 1: flight to Las Vegas, Nevada 
Today you'll be picked up directly from the airport by myXOadventures.com. We'll take you directly to the hotel just minutes away so you can unpack and meet the rest of the group. 

Today we'll take a drive to the iconic Hoover Dam before settling in for the evening and preparing for the journey ahead!
​DAY 2: Zion National PArk 
As we take off from our Hotel we embark on the beginning of a majestic journey to Utah, where the land rises up to speak the stories of the past.  The drive will take us to Springdale, a small township within Zion National Park. A delicious lunch will be provided, and enjoyed in a park setting. Afterward we'll explore the park by shuttling into the "Scenic Drive" which reveals the Great White Throne, Mountain of the Sun, Twin Brothers, The Sentinel, Isaac Peak all while meandering through the canyon along the Virgin River. 

Included will be a hiking tour through the narrows of the park. Proper equipment will be provided. Get ready for an incredible experience as well as a photographer's dream! Once we have finished, we'll continue on exploring the park for as long as we wish before checking in to our Best Western Thunderbird Inn at Mount Carmel Junction, a gateway to all things beautiful!

If you're up for it, Daniel will be headed to Kodachrome State Park this evening so long as the weather is clear. Check out the night sky!


DAY 3: Kanab and the Peek-a-Boo Slot Canyons!
After breakfast this morning, we head out to meet our guide and prepare ourselves for an amazing ATV tour!
The journey to Peek-a-Boo is half the fun of this tour, we’ll follow a backcountry sand trail, race over sand dunes and zip over hills!

​As our convoy progresses along the trail towards the canyon you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of Navajo Sandstone, native plants and if you’re lucky, maybe even some local wildlife.

Once we arrive to the Canyon, be prepared to be floored by its beauty and tranquil presence, it has been described by many as a sanctuary in stone.
Together with your guide, freely explore the wonders of the canyon and discover its slender passages with their spectrum of dusty reds, earthy browns and burnt orange colors. All meticulously layered by Mother Nature into the sandstone walls.

Afterward, we'll enjoy an included lunch in Kanab and a little shopping through some of the Native and local artist galleries. We head back to the hotel with some amazing memories!
Day 4:Bryce Canyon & An all-American Road
At dawn and dusk, mule deer graze the forested plateau along the road into Bryce Canyon. The alpine environment is home to dozens of species of mammals and birds, all acquainted with a spectacular truth: this is no ordinary forest. Water and wind over millions of years of freezes and thaws, have carved into the plateau endless fields of distinctive red rock pillars, called hoodoos, as well as into the park's series of natural amphitheaters. 

​Sometimes you find yourself on a road that you can sense is something truly special. It's not just the landscapes, though you can't take your eyes off them. It is something about the byway itself, though it's not just the quality of its surface. It seems to have a history. There's something in the engineering — the vertiginous "Hogsback" stretch comes to mind — and in the thoughtful lay of the road.
​
The way the road connects with the land, feels somehow a part of the landscape, embedded in the slick-rock, even though it was once an intrusion into the space. Like the way a lightning strike can ignite a fire in a forest and sweep out gnarly, dense undergrowth competing for sunlight, there is a period of adaptation and recovery. It virtually becomes part of the ecosystem. Utah State route 12 is such a road.
Day 5: Vermillion CliFfs,  Lake Powell & TOadstool Hoodoos
Breakfast Time! After enjoying your morning we are off on yet another adventure along route 89. While we meander through the Utah/Arizona Border there'll be plenty to see. From the desert formations to the cooler altitude of Lake Jacob and everything in between. 

Right after stopping at Horseshoe Bend is Lake Powell. This is where we'll all have a chance to do what we like. Some free time here for lunch, shopping and a breathtaking view of Glen Canyon Dam!

Once we're off, we head to Toadstool Hoodoos for a stop at these magnificent formations that are still yet to be explained by scientists around the world. 

Today will be a full day of sightseeing before we return to the comfort of the Thunderbird!

If you're still up for It, Daniel will be searching the night sky this evening as its the new moon. This means as long as the weather permits, there should be plenty of stars to see. Come along and make this your nightcap before heading home tomorrow morning. 
Day 6 Mount Carmel Junction to Las Vegas
It's said that all good things must come to an end, but do they? We find that after our tours, friends are made for a lifetime, and travel groups form.
