- Page: Behold the majestic beauty of Horseshoe Bend, where the mighty Colorado River gracefully curves through the heart of the desert landscape, creating a breath-taking natural spectacle that must be seen to be believed. The hike to Horseshoe Bend is approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometers) one way, making it a total round-trip distance of about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers). The trail is relatively easy and well-maintained, suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes to hike from the parking area to the overlook, where you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the bend and the surrounding landscape.
- Zion National Park: Unlock geological history as you walk the paths and trails of Zion National Park, following in the footsteps of Native Americans and the earliest pioneers. The lush vegetation, wild rivers, roaring waterfalls and towering cliffs of this park will have you reaching for your camera over and over again. You’ll even drive through the amazing 1.1-mile, sandstone Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel built from the late 1920s through 1930, when it was the longest tunnel of its type at the time.

Discover Native crafts watching a carpet weaving demonstration, or you may enjoy traditional song and dance performances.
