    Standing on the edge of the cliff of Grand Canyon National Park, the scenery in front of you will make you hold your breath. The rock layers are like a painting of time, from reddish brown to golden yellow, and each layer has witnessed the changes of the earth for billions of years. The canyon is deep and magnificent, the Colorado River meanders at the bottom of the valley, the sun shines on the rock walls, and the colors change with time, which is so beautiful that people are reluctant to look away. You can feel the shock of the Grand Canyon more by exploring on foot. Whether it is the Bright Angel Trail on the South Rim or the Kaibab Trail on the North Rim, you can see the canyon scenery from different angles along the way. There are steep cliffs under your feet and endless wilderness in the distance. Walking in it is both exciting and awed. If you have enough time, take a helicopter to overlook the canyon, or ride a mule deep into the valley. The feeling of being there is even more indescribable. In the face of such a magnificent nature, any language seems pale. Only by experiencing it in person can you feel its true shock.

    The Antelope Canyon is a very unique place worth visiting. The Lower Antelope Canyon requires climbing up and down, which is not suitable for the elderly. The tour guide is good and will help everyone take photos with high skills. The price is a bit expensive.

    This was a very pleasant travel experience. The overall itinerary was well-organized, the staff were very friendly, and the scenery along the way was exceptionally beautiful and refreshing. One thing to note is that an additional service fee of US$5 per person will be charged on-site (it is recommended to have cash on hand). This fee is generally not included in the price for advance booking. It is advisable to prepare in advance to avoid any delays. Despite this extra expense, considering the overall excellent experience, I personally believe it was still excellent value for money and highly recommend it.

    Horseshoe Bay, Antelope Valley and Lake Powell are very close to the three scenic spots, and the play is arranged for a day. The first stop to Horseshoe Bay, the parking lot is some distance from Horseshoe Bay, or go uphill for nearly 20 minutes. Although Horseshoe Bay is only a bay, the color contrast of the red soil and green water forms a beautiful scenery. Multiple angles can be taken, the higher the place, the better the photo effect. The scenery on the way back and forth is also good, all left in the picture

    On the way from Phoenix to Page, we passed through three areas with completely different geological features and vegetation. When we first left Phoenix, we saw columnar cacti on both sides of the road. As the altitude increased, the cacti and other low shrubs disappeared, replaced by tall pine forests, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. It was amazing!

    Grand Canyon West offers breathtaking views of the canyon’s dramatic landscapes, with highlights like the famous Skywalk—a glass bridge extending over the canyon for a thrilling experience. Managed by the Hualapai Tribe, it provides unique cultural insights alongside natural beauty. While less crowded than the South Rim, it’s more commercialized, but still a must-visit for stunning vistas and adventure activities.

    Today, the driver's team went to the monument, which was not arranged during the driver's 2016 RV driving around the western United States. Monument Valley actually includes a large area around the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and the Navajo reservation is equivalent to a national park.
