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
