Facing the rising sun, we begin today’s wonderful journey. Travel north along Highway 15, passing through the San Bernardino Forest and entering the Mojave Desert, the largest in North America. The solitary Joshua trees dot the endless Gobi desert one by one, giving them a unique charm. After a short stop to rest on the way, we arrived in the world's casino city - Las Vegas in the afternoon! After checking into the hotel after 3 pm, you can take a short rest or try your luck at the casino. After dinner you can enjoy the charming night view of the casino with us.

Las Vegas Night Tour(AG) Las Vegas Night Tour
When night falls and the lanterns come on, the casino is a sea of neon lights, a colorful world of light and shadow. The electricity consumption of the five-kilometer-long Las Vegas Strip in one night can power a city of 500,000 people for a year. The architecture here integrates the essence of the world. It is a well-deserved miracle of ergonomics and the most American city!
Today we will experience what the ever-changing American West is. The first stop was Zion National Park. Zion National Park is a beautiful place with its tranquil beauty of mountains and clear waters. After that, we went to Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce is not so much a canyon, but more like a huge open-air arena. The towering brown stone layers are stacked like stone figurines guarding the heaven and earth. Overnight in Blythe.

Zion National Park Zion National Park
Zion National Park is a dream destination for hikers and photographers. Although it is located in the desert, the terrain is anything but barren. Formed by millions of years of erosion, the park's diverse rock formations, countless wilderness trails and one-of-a-kind wildlife beckon to those seeking an experience of solitude and inspiration. The park's many canyons, fauna and cultural sites are suitable for exploration in any season, but spring and autumn are at their most pleasant and the flowers are in full bloom.
Bryce Canyon National Park Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southwestern Utah, USA. Although its name contains the word canyon, it is not a real canyon, but a huge natural amphitheater formed by erosion along the east side of the Ponsagunt Plateau. Its unique geographical formations, called lithosphere, are formed by wind, water and ice erosion from rivers, and sedimentary rocks from lake beds. The red, orange and white rocks within it form a unique natural landscape, so it is known as the palace of natural stone figurines.
Today we will set off to visit Canyonlands National Park. This place is like an island suspended in the sky, and the scenery is extremely spectacular! After reluctantly leaving Canyonlands National Park, we will head to Arches National Park. As the largest concentration of natural sand and stone arches in the world, Arches National Park covers an area of approximately 309 square kilometers and has more than 2,000 natural rock arches. The archstones you can see today have resisted the erosion of wind and rain for thousands of years in various strange ways, and they still stand proudly on this salt layer, which is breathtaking.

Canyonlands National Park Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands National Park is located at the confluence of the Green River and the Colorado River in southeastern Utah. It is a collection of sandstone towers and canyons formed by years of river erosion and erosion by wind, frost, rain, and snow. It has become one of the most famous erosion areas in the world and is famous for its dangerous peaks and rugged rocks. Island in the Sky is perched on a steep sandstone cliff, rising 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain. Each overlook offers spectacular views of the canyon area from a different angle.
Arches National Park Arches National Park
Arches National Park is located in Utah, USA, near the town of Moab, covering an area of 309 square kilometers and preserving more than 2,000 natural rock arches. About 300 million years ago, this salt formation was an ocean. Millions of years after the sea disappeared, the salt layers were covered by dregs from the air and water, and extruded into rocks with other debris. After the uplift of the earth's crust and natural weathering, it became the arch it is today. There are not only arches in the park, but also numerous unique geological features such as large and small spiers, pedestals, and balancing stones; all the stones have textures with very strong color contrasts.
Friends who have the plot of a western blockbuster are in luck, today we will come to Monument Valley. Monument Valley frequently appears in movie scenes and is a symbol of the original Great West of the United States. The cross-country long-distance race in "Forrest Gump" ended here. Then go to Horseshoe Bay, a famous photography spot selected by American Geographic Magazine. The river turns 360 degrees in the red-brown canyon, cutting out a horseshoe-shaped canyon. Horseshoe Bay is named after it. Finally, we went to visit the peculiar slit cave and Lower Antelope Canyon, one of the top ten photography locations in the world. The rock walls of the Cacao Cave are eroded by wind and torrents over thousands of years, forming a perfect wave shape, which is an abstract painting of nature. Cave Cave has always been a pure place for Navajo Indians to sit and meditate. They believe that they can listen to the voice of God here. Overnight at Tuba Indian Reservation.
Itinerary:
Monument Valley (mandatory item, 120 minutes, you can take a jeep tour at your own expense) → Horseshoe Bend (mandatory item, 75 minutes) → Lower Antelope Canyon (own expense, 120 minutes)
Monument Valley Monument Valley
Monument Valley began to appear in many media in the 1930s as a symbol of the original Great West of the United States. The most famous one is in many western films by American director John Ford, including "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers". The cross-country run in director Robert Chamakis's "Forrest Gump" ends here. The magnificence of Monument Valley is difficult to describe in words. Huge sculptures stand on the red field. This is the resonance of desolation and wild music, a holy place for the sublimation of life and soul.
Horseshoe Bend Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend – one of the top 10 best photography locations in the United States by National Geographic! The dense aquatic plants on the Colorado River bed make the river water appear fluorescent green in the sunlight. The river turns 360 degrees in the reddish-brown canyon, cutting a horseshoe-shaped canyon, hence the name Horseshoe Bend. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you will be immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the clear water, blue sky and red rocks.
Lower Antelope Canyon Lower Antelope Canyon
Lower Antelope Canyon is located in northern Arizona, USA. It was formed from soft sandstone after millions of years of various erosion forces. Flash floods often flow into the canyon during the monsoon season. Due to the sudden increase in rainfall, the flow rate of the flash flood is quite fast. In addition, the narrow channel narrows the river channel, so the vertical erosion force becomes relatively larger, forming a corridor at the bottom of Lower Antelope Canyon and a hard and smooth edge like flowing water on the canyon wall. There is no artificial lighting in Lower Antelope Canyon. All visible light comes from the cracks at the top of the canyon. The light is repeatedly refracted by the rock texture and enters the valley bottom, producing dreamlike irregular color changes. These colors range from deep to light, colorful and beautiful.
In the early morning we drove to the Grand Canyon National Park, known as the first of the seven natural wonders of the world, to appreciate the magic of the Creator. Here, every passerby is a photographer, and every photo is a landscape painting. You can take a helicopter or sightseeing plane at your own expense to overlook the Grand Canyon from the air. Leaving the Grand Canyon Park, we will drive through the famous Hoover Dam, and then go to Emerald Bay, a miraculous natural landscape on the border of the Colorado River. This is a paradise for kayakers. Not only can you enjoy the clear lake water that looks like green jelly, but you can also experience the fun of canyon exploration here. Finally arrive at the gambling and entertainment capital of the world - Las Vegas! In the evening, you can take a night tour with an experienced driver and guide at your own expense, or enjoy the world's highest level singing, dancing and magic show!
