Northeast of Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most mystical and extraordinary parts of the Colorado Plateau. The most important highlights in this region include Monument Valley, the Rainbow Bridge National Monument and Lake Powell. These landmarks are iconic, breathtaking and surreal. Everything here is extraordinary. If you find yourself anywhere near this area, make every effort possible to visit.

Monument Valley tour options include self-driving a 17-mile dirt road, hiring a Navajo guide and plane tours. I recommend flying the valley. The area is so vast, surreal and all encompassing that getting airborne is the only realist way to scratch the surface.

Lake Powell, created by the spectacular Glen Canyon Dam, is the second largest man-made reservoir in the U.S. It’s a giant body of water and a favorite for recreationists.

Rainbow Bridge is located in the rugged canyon lands at the foot of Navajo Mountain. It’s the largest natural bridge on the planet. To see it, you have to boat across Lake Powell, do a major back-country hike or take a plane tour.
