We'll then visit Glen Canyon Dam, where you'll explore the perfect fusion of human engineering and nature, and admire the wisdom and power embodied in this vast landscape. Finally, we'll visit Bryce Canyon National Park—more of an amphitheater than a canyon, its towering brownstone formations stacked like stone figures guarding heaven and earth.

Itinerary:

Page → Antelope Canyon (Optional, 120 mins) → Glen Canyon Damy (Mandatory, 30 mins) → Lake Powell (Pass by) → Bryce Canyon National Park (Mandatory, 60 mins) → Provo

Lower Antelope Canyon

The Lower Antelope Canyon is located in the north of Arizona, USA. It is formed by soft sandstone after millions of years of various erosion forces. Flash floods often flow into the canyon during the monsoon season. Due to the sudden increase in rainfall, the flow rate of the flash flood is quite fast. In addition, the narrow channel narrows the river channel, so the vertical erosion force is relatively large, forming the corridor at the bottom of the Lower Antelope Canyon and the hard and smooth edges on the valley wall that look like flowing water. There is no artificial lighting in the Lower Antelope Canyon. All visible light comes from the cracks at the top of the canyon. These lights are repeatedly refracted by the rock texture and enter the valley bottom, producing a dreamy and irregular color change. These colors are from deep to light, colorful and beautiful.

Glen Canyon Dam

The Glen Canyon Dam is located in the arid southwestern United States, and the mission of the dam is to store water resources for this particularly arid part of the United States. It is 216 meters high, and the arched top is 470 meters long. It also meets the needs of communities in three states. This dam uses the natural conditions of the Glen Canyon to build dams on both sides of the canyon to intercept the Colorado River for hydropower generation and water regulation. It is one of the most spectacular dams in the world, and one of the most magnificent and complex buildings created by humans, which is breathtaking.

Lake Powell

The land belongs to the joint development area of Indians and national parks. In addition to its huge amount of water, Lake Powell also has one of the rare wonders in the world, the water canyon. It is like a jasper embedded in the red orange Colorado Plateau, and it is also a fjord in the Grand Canyon. You can pass by the Glenn Dam, stop by the shore of Lake Powell to take pictures, or take a kayak through one of the most famous troughs in the world, have an intimate encounter with Lake Powell, and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of Lake Powell.

Transportation: Travel by car from Glen Canyon Dam to Bryce Canyon National Park.

Distance: 150KM

Time: 2h40m

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southwestern Utah, is not a true canyon, despite its name. Instead, it forms a vast natural amphitheater formed by erosion along the eastern face of the Ponsagant Plateau. Its unique geological formations, known as rock pillars, are formed by wind, river water, and ice erosion, along with sedimentary rocks from lakebeds. The red, orange, and white rocks within these formations create a unique natural landscape, earning it the nickname "Palace of Natural Stone Figurines."

Time: 4h40m

Jackson Town Square with Elk Antler Arches

The park is not big, but there are giant arches made of deer antlers in the four directions of east, west, south and north. The antlers are all sharp, but they are not obtained by hunting. Every winter, a large number of elk come from the mountains to the "National Elk Refuge" in Jackson to spend the winter. In the spring, the antlers fall off naturally and are replaced. After the elk leave, countless treasures are left everywhere.

Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park was established on February 26, 1929. There are 300 kilometers of trails in Grand Teton National Park. There are many lakes in the park, including Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake. Most of the area of Grand Teton National Park is located in the Rocky Mountains, and the natural scenery is very magnificent. In addition, Grand Teton National Park also has extremely rich biological resources, including American bison, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, etc.

Yellowstone National Park

Located in the Rocky Mountains, known as the "backbone of America", it is located on the lava plateau between the Northern Rockies and the Central Rockies in the western United States. The geothermal wonders are its hallmark, a primitive landscape of the earth forged by water and fire. The natural landscape in the park is divided into five major areas, namely the Mammoth Area, the Roosevelt Area, the Canyon Area, the Geyser Area and the Lake Area, each with its own characteristics. It exceeds the limits of human art and is the most wonderful and spectacular scenery on the surface of the earth.

West Thumb Geyser Basin

The West Thumb Geyser Basin, located on the edge of Yellowstone Lake, was formed 150,000 years ago by the collapse of the earth's crust. The combination of hot springs and lake water has created a wonderful misty landscape: the misty area is the steam of hot springs, and the green waves are the water of Yellowstone Lake, which complements the blue sky and white clouds in the background, forming a landscape different from other hot spring areas in Yellowstone. This area is equivalent to the bay of Yellowstone Lake, where many geysers gather. The colors of the water outlets vary, some are transparent green, and some are dark black like cement. Many water outlets present a beautiful fantasy.

Old Faithful Geyser

Old Faithful geyser is named for its consistent and regular eruption. Currently, it erupts approximately every 60 to 110 minutes, and each eruption lasts four to five minutes. The water column is more than 40 meters high, which is spectacular and never stops. The Old Faithful Visitor Center will display the eruption schedule in advance, so you can check the eruption time in advance before visiting with confidence.

Yellowstone National Park

Located in the Rocky Mountains, known as the "backbone of America", it is located on the lava plateau between the Northern Rockies and the Central Rockies in the western United States. The geothermal wonders are its hallmark, a primitive landscape of the earth forged by water and fire. The natural landscape in the park is divided into five major areas, namely the Mammoth Area, the Roosevelt Area, the Canyon Area, the Geyser Area and the Lake Area, each with its own characteristics. It exceeds the limits of human art and is the most wonderful and spectacular scenery on the surface of the earth.

Yellowstone Norris Geyser Basin

Norris Geyser Basin, named after an early Yellowstone Superintendent, may be the hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone. The stark, barren landscape of Porcelain Basin is the result of the acidic environment. Due to the hostile condition plants, algae and bacteria have difficulty in establishing themselves. Instead, the basin derives its colors from mineral oxides, in spectrums of pink, red, orange (iron oxides) and yellow (sulfur and iron sulfates). The largest geyser in the world is located here. Steamboat Geyser has long periods of dormancy, but when it does erupt it sends jets of water nearly 380 feet high in a spectacular display.

Yellowstone Park Palette Fountain Paint Pot

The Palette is a mud fountain. The mud and rocks contain minerals, which are melted by the acidic hot spring to form mud. Because the muddy water is very viscous, you can clearly see the slow formation and disappearance of bubbles. The mud around the fountain looks like dried oil paint, making the fountain itself look like a pot of water washed with oil paint, just like a painter's canvas, overflowing with colorful seasonings.

The Grand Prismatic Hot Spring

Also known as the Seven Color Pool, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is 75-91 meters wide and 49 meters deep, and it gushes out about 2,000 liters of 71-degree hot water every minute. The amazing thing about the Grand Prismatic Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from emerald green to golden orange-red, which is due to the algae and pigment-containing bacteria and other microorganisms living in the mineral-rich water. In midsummer, the chlorophyll content is relatively low, so the lake water appears brilliant orange, red or yellow. But in the cold winter, due to the lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water will appear deep dark green.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The 97-kilometer-long Yellowstone River is said to be "the only undammed river in the United States." Here, the river suddenly surges, creating a powerful spray that forms two magnificent waterfalls, thundering down into the Grand Canyon and on to the Pacific Ocean. The Upper Falls, at 33 meters, and the Lower Falls, at 94 meters, appear as if painted with vibrant oil paint. Even exposed to the elements, the colors remain vibrant. These "stubborn" hues resist neither erosion nor fading. Visitors marvel at the miraculous power of nature.

Upper Yellowstone Falls

The Upper Falls is located 400 meters upstream of the larger Yellowstone Falls. The waterfall falls vertically along the volcanic cliff with a drop of 33 meters. The originally uneven volcanic rocks below the waterfall have been eroded by the waterfall for hundreds of years and have become very smooth.

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming are the largest by volume in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States, and they stand more than 300 feet tall-- almost twice as high as Niagara Falls.

Artist Point

The scenery here is particularly spectacular. The canyon is more than 300 feet deep. The canyon walls are mainly yellow, mixed with black, red and pink, and clusters of green pine trees. These colors are mixed but not chaotic, looking like a peacock's tail, and also like the pointillism of a romantic painter who applied several layers of color in the same place.

Mud Volcano Area

Located in the eastern part of Yellowstone National Park, not far from the northern part of Yellowstone Lake. Most of the fountains here do not spray water, but mud, and every time they erupt, the ground shakes. Next to the mud volcano, there are colorful grasses that look extremely tender and gorgeous.
