If it were necessary to leave the beauty of Zion, we can’t think of three other places we would rather visit than Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and Monument Valley. The other-worldly hoodoos of Bryce, the intimate surreality of Antelope, and awesome spirituality of Monument Valley offer an utter diversity of visual experience which borders on sensory overload.
After beginning with the flavor of Zion’s many forms, we’ll head up to Bryce, where early morning and late afternoon light causes the objects of Mother Nature’s erosive power to glow from within. The stay at Ruby’s Inn at the park’s entrance is always a treat. Then it’s down to Page, Arizona and the magic of the slot canyons, none more so than Upper Antelope, where it’s the mid-day light that creates the wonder of an otherwise dim, semi-subterranean world. From Page we head east, across the top of Arizona and into the soul of the redrock country. To us Monument Valley is one of the most spiritual places on earth. The great buttes, monuments, and mesas of massive Navajo sandstone quickly give one to realize the insignificance of the human in the face of the majesty of creation; yet in the beauty of the form and the light, one is not so much overpowered as uplifted and made to feel at one. There are spires and arches, towering cliffs, vast dunes of roan-hued sand, and chaparral, all in a matrix of blue sky and golden light.
