- Gape into the depths of the Grand Canyon and find the Colorado River a mile below
- Explore the maze of sandstone spires, pinnacles and hoodoos in Bryce Canyon
- Discover wildlife, the history of the American Southwest and high-desert magic in Zion National Park
The canyon country of the American Southwest has long held a mythical place in the annals of grand travel adventures. From John Wesley Powell to Mary Colter to Teddy Roosevelt, these rusty landscapes have beckoned intrepid pioneers as well as everyday explorers searching for a family adventure travel experience unlike any other. No family will come away from a rose-hued sunrise at Bryce Canyon, or a night beneath the stars in Zion, or a hike along the Grand Canyon’s layered walls, without being changed in some way: moved, inspired, replenished, somehow richer for it. That’s the gift of our national parks, and these three are among the most generous givers.
