Have your camera ready for some spectacular shots during your 4-wheel drive Navajo-guided tour of mystical Monument Valley. Enjoy a relaxing 2-night stay at Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab. From Moab, visit Arches National Park with its 2,000 natural sandstone arches, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point State Park for a lovely picnic lunch and wine tasting. A day of contrasts leads you to Bryce Canyon National Park, where the slow erosion of ages has created fantastically sculptured rock formations resembling castles.
