Three-Day Private Grand Circle Tour from Las Vegas: Grand Canyon, Antelope, Monument Valley & Zion
A three-day private loop from Las Vegas through the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Expect long drives, dramatic overlooks, Navajo-guided stops, and two sunrise sessions that make the landscape sing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Acclimate to elevation
Start slow the first morning—Grand Canyon and Bryce sit at high elevations; drink water and avoid intense exertion until you feel adjusted.
Time Antelope for light beams
If you want the classic Antelope light shafts, aim for the midday slot on clear days; booking early in the day at other sites helps avoid crowds.
Respect Navajo permits
Antelope and Monument Valley access is managed locally—follow guide instructions, stay on permitted paths, and support local fees and guides.
Layer for big temperature swings
Desert mornings can be near-freezing at vantage points, while midday sun heats quickly—pack a warm, compressible layer.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Route 66 stop in Seligman for vintage Americana and quick photos
- •Desert View Watchtower at Grand Canyon East Rim for Indigenous art and quieter overlooks
Wildlife
- •Desert bighorn sheep
- •Golden eagle
Conservation Note
Support local guides and fees, stay on designated trails, and practice leave-no-trace—fragile slot canyons and desert soils recover slowly from foot traffic.
This loop travels through lands central to Navajo Nation and other Indigenous peoples; Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon hold deep cultural significance and are managed with local tribal involvement.
Photographer's Notes
- • Mather Point at Grand Canyon South Rim
- • Horseshoe Bend overlook
- • Bryce Point or Sunrise Point for hoodoo panoramas
What to Bring
Sturdy hiking shoesEssential
Traction and ankle support for rocky overlooks, sandy canyon approaches, and short trail sections.
2–3L hydration systemEssential
High desert sun and wind dehydrate quickly—carry reliable water and sip regularly.
Layered clothing and lightweight jacketEssential
Mornings and nights can be cold at high-elevation overlooks; layers regulate temperature during all-day outings.
Camera with polarizer or wide-angle lens
A polarizer manages glare at Horseshoe Bend; a wide lens captures expansive canyon rims and tight slot canyons.
