About the trip

This seven-night escorted tour from G Adventures takes you through some of the American Southwest's most distinctive landscapes. Starting in Moab, Utah, the group meets the Expedition Leader before heading to exhibitions tracing explorer John Wesley Powell's river journeys. Expect visits to the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River, plus a half-day rafting trip on the Green River itself.

Outings include walks in Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Parks, a private open-air vehicle tour of Monument Valley accompanied by Navajo guides serving traditional tacos, and a boat trip through Navajo Canyon. Highlights also include a visit to a less trodden slot canyon on Navajo land and a classic overlook at Horseshoe Bend. The tour rounds off with an Expedition Leader-led walk along the south rim of the Grand Canyon, where the changing colours at sunset reveal the vast scale of this extraordinary chasm.

Throughout, National Geographic Expedition Experts add perspective with discussions on the region's natural and cultural history. Accommodations, included meals, and transfers between destinations are arranged, making for a pace that encourages attentive appreciation rather than a race against the clock.
