With several spectacular desert natural beauties near Phoenix, this trip focuses on exploring the Grand Canyon, while connecting Horseshoe Bay, Antelope Valley and Sky Arch to experience the unique Danxia landscape and mysterious canyon scenery in the southwest. The most profound part of the whole trip must be the Grand Canyon at sunset, looking at the sunset dyeing the entire canyon red, really feel the shock of nature!

Trip route suggestions
From Phoenix, it’s generally recommended to drive yourself, about a four- to five-hour drive to Grand Canyon National Park. Take the road through the desert Gobi and feel the vastness of the American Southwest.

A must-visit check-in spot
1. Grand Canyon
Attraction Location: Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park
It is recommended to arrange at least half a day, South Rim is the location with the most tourists, you can hike along the cliff edge to enjoy the magnificent views. It is recommended to go at sunset, the sunlit rock wall color layered, very spectacular! Also remember to pay attention to safety and do not get too close to the edge of the cliff to avoid danger.

2. Horseshoe Bend
Attraction Location: Page, Arizona (about 10 minutes drive from Antelope Valley)
The horseshoe-shaped river bend is really great for taking pictures. It is best for visiting in the early morning or evening. It is super eye-catching to take pictures in sunny weather.

3. Antelope Canyon
Attraction Location: Page, Arizona
There are two entrances, Upper and Lower, which require a tour booking online in advance. The interlacing of light and shadow in the valley creates a unique texture effect. It is recommended to use the professional mode or DSLR on your phone when taking pictures. When entering, most need to follow the tour closely follow the instructions of the guide, safety first.

4. Sky Arch
Attraction Location: Near Page area, hidden version of the attraction


Playing Tips
1. Desert areas have a large temperature difference between day and night, spring and autumn are more comfortable, summer needs to pay attention to sunscreen hydration.  
2. The attractions are generally open from 8am to evening.  
3. The trip route is long, please adjust according to your endurance, each attraction is suitable for slow tour and shooting.  
4. Cell phone signals are weaker in some areas of the Grand Canyon and Antelope Valley.  
5. Shooting sunrise and sunset requires early arrival and preset venues to grab the best view.

Itinerary Notes
Some attractions require walking uphill climbs or crossing sandy areas, preferably wearing comfortable hiking shoes. Remember to bring plenty of water and sun protection while keeping your personal safety in mind at all times. Desert areas have a large difference in temperature between day and night, so layering is recommended.
