Heading due north today to continue on Route 66.
The scenery of the Arizona plateaus will soon replace the desert of Nevada and California. On Route 66, a nice little winding road brings us to our first stop : Oatman, an old gold miner’s town left in its wild west juice. Next stop is Kingman on Route 66 before crossing Seligman, at the gateway to the Hualapai Indian reservation.
We arrive on the Tusayan Plateau at an altitude of 2,000m to spend the night close to the Grand Canyon.
DAY 4 : Monument Valley
250 KM & 3h
For the brave, wake up at dawn to watch the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Grandiose!

Welcome to Navajo territory where alcohol is forbidden. No aperitif this evening, but an extraordinary panorama on Monument Valley for the sunset !
DAY 5 : Page

If you missed the sunset over Monument Valley the day before, we’ll head out this morning to see these natural monuments and then head northwest to Lake Powell. This huge body of water has 3,150 kilometres of coastline and 96 submerged canyons.

DAY 7 : Bryce Canyon
250km & 3h
