The best guided tour I’ve ever done!
PhysCode –
I can’t say enough good things about this tour – we had an amazing time! Plan to be gone all day, as it’s a long but comfortable drive through NV, UT, CO, and. AZ. It was a hot day, but hey, we chose July so that’s on us, but the sky was crystal clear, providing us with some magical views of Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend, and Antelope Canyon.
