1. Grand Canyon, Monument Valley & the Mighty Five of Utah – 10 Nights from €1999 Inc Flights, Hotels, Car Hire
If you have been following me for a while you will know that our trip around Utah’s spectacular National Parks was one of our favourite American holidays.

From hiking the Narrows in Zion National Park and horse riding through Bryce Canyon, to exploring Peekaboo Slot Canyon by ATV and rafting the Colorado River, every experience was incredible. And I’ll never forget watching the sunrise over Monument Valley with a Navajo guide – it is up there with one of my best travel experiences. It’s hard to believe we managed to fit all of this into just one 10-day trip – but you can too!
