Day 3: Sedona

Oak Creek Canyon

Oak Creek Canyon is a historical site and must for anyone traveling to Sedona, Arizona. It’s a river gorge and often described as the sister of the Grand Canyon because of the gorgeous scenery. Breathtaking in its red rock beauty, the Canyon is a spectacular 16-mile gorge with streams and waterfalls between sheer rock walls.

Bell Rock

Bell Rock is one of the most well-known red-rock formations found in the greater Sedona area. Conveniently located right off Red Rock Scenic Byway (Arizona State Route 179) roughly 15 minutes south of Sedona, just north of the village of Oak Creek, Bell Rock is an easily accessible destination for visitors to the region. 

Chapel of the Holy Cross

This chapel, located among dramatic rock formations, offers spectacular views, especially at sunset. This striking structure is built right into the side of a fine example of one of Sedona’s world-famous red-rock buttes. The red-rock cliffside into which Chapel of the Holy Cross is built sits some 1,000 feet high, while the Chapel itself rises another 250 or so feet into the air. Taken together, it’s a magnificent setting for a building, providing visitors with tremendous views in a number of directions.

Grand Canyon National Park

America’s Southwest is full of breathtaking canyons, but none as famous or as widely visited as the Grand Canyon. This world-famous landmark offers wondrous views, spectacular hiking, exhilarating whitewater rafting and countless adventures. The Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails offer stunning views, but if hiking's not your cup of tea, rent a bicycle or take a scenic drive through the park.

Day 6: Page

It overlooks one of the most spectacular views on the Colorado River, 4 miles south of the Glen Canyon Dam, and 7 miles north of mile zero of the Grand Canyon.

Antelope Canyon

Located near Lake Powell, this "slot" canyon is considered sacred by the Navajo. Antelope Canyon is possibly the most famous slot canyon in the world. Located on the Navajo Reservation, a few miles east of Page, it is open by tour only. Wind and water have carved sandstone into an astonishingly sensuous temple of nature where light and shadow play hide and seek. It's less than a city block long (about a quarter mile), a symphony of shapes and textures that are a photographer's dream.
