Arrive in Grand Junction and transfer to your hotel. Spend the day relaxing at the hotel’s outdoor pool and tennis courts, or explore the lively town’s galleries, boutiques, and cafés on your own.
After breakfast, your guide will take you to a slow, scenic way to Moab - on a leisurely rafting trip along the Colorado River into Utah's canyon country. Float along a tranquil stretch of the legendary waterway, past the bizarrely shaped rock pinnacles known as Fisher Towers, encountering a few rapids along the way.
Stop for a picnic lunch along the riverbank, surrounded by the area’s picturesque rock-carved landscape. Continue by raft to our lodge set among rust-hued cliffs. Tonight, join fellow travelers for a welcome reception on the terrace, which offers stunning river views.
You have early rise today to explore Arches National Park. Go on a series of short hikes to discover some of its 2,000 sandstone arches, and sit down to a picnic set against this gorgeous natural backdrop.
Head to Dead Horse Point, a promontory high above a gooseneck in the Colorado River. Local legend holds that this narrow spot was once used as a corral for wild mustangs, and a herd of horses died of thirst within view of - but 2,000 feet above - the mammoth river.
Your guide will take you to visit Newspaper Rock State Historical Monument, where a stunning concentration of more than 650 petroglyphs adorn sandstone rock faces and record some 2,000 years of human activity here. Continue on to the one-of-a kind Needles District in the southeast corner of Canyonlands, and hike among this spectacular landscape punctuated by colourfully striped sandstone spires.
Picnic among the rugged scenery, then retreat for the night to the historic town of Bluff - established by Ancestral Puebloans around A.D. 650.
You will be immersed by what is perhaps the most iconic landscape of the American West - Monument Valley.
Here on the Navajo Indian Reservation, majestic red mesas and lonely buttes rise above the valley floor. Join a team of native guides on a jeep tour of the rugged valley floor and its geological wonders. Take in thousand-foot-tall sandstone buttes made famous by countless Western movies, hear about the Navajo perspective of the area’s history, and enjoy a traditional Navajo lunch.
After a thrilling day of exploration, return to Bluff and dine at a local restaurant. Enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.
Set off on a breathtaking drive through Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, an archaeological hub of cliff dwellings, rock art, and kivas (ceremonial rooms).
Arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mesa Verde National Park, a complex network of Ancestral Puebloan dwellings dating to the 6th through 12 centuries. Discover the remarkable ancient culture that built these villages and imposing cliff dwellings, and see the famous Cliff Palace, with 150 rooms constructed out of nothing more than natural sandstone, wooden beams, and mortar.
This afternoon, continue on to the historic railroad town of Durango, and cap off your adventure through the American West with a farewell dinner.

The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.Force Majeure'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.EvacuationsIn rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.Travel InsuranceIn view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
