The Tauck Difference in the National Parks

Flightseeing over Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Day 4

See the canyons of Lake Powell on a flightseeing excursion

See remote corners of 186-mile-long Lake Powell – created from the Colorado River by the Glen Canyon Dam in the 1960s – from a variety of perspectives; it took 17 years to fill up Glen Canyon, transforming the Colorado River into 186-mile-long Lake Powell. Early morning, take an included 45-minute flight* over remote corners of 186-mile-long Lake Powell; view the unusual red-rock formations reflecting in the lake.

Horseback Riding in Bryce Canyon

Float trip on the Colorado River

Day 5

Float trip through the beautiful Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Enjoy smooth water rafting at its best when your family takes a pontoon float trip on the Colorado River surrounded by thousands of years of human and natural history.

Travel is our best teacher... Let me just tell you, this Grand Canyon is tear worthy... it was absolutely spectacular.
