where nature puts on a show of her own. Hire a bike or visit the ghost town where "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was filmed, hike to the Emerald Pools of the Virgin River (always a hit with the kids!) or try `river tubing'. At the end of the day, take a dip or just relax by the pool, taking in the spectacular views of Zion Canyon. It is just a short, but truly spectacular drive from Zion to Bryce National Park, where wind and water have sculpted a fantasyland of rock spires and formations that almost defy description. Next stop on the trail is our mountain ranch where you will saddle up for a horseback ride. Then tuck in to some typical western chow before retiring to the lodge or one of the rustic log cabins. From the dusty trail you will head towards Navajo territory and the cooling blue waters of Lake Powell for two days. This huge man-made lake offers swimming and all manner of watersports against the most amazing red-rock backdrop. From here it is only a short drive to Monument Valley - instantly recognisable from countless western movies - where the Navajo and their ancestors have lived for generations. It is not hard to see why filmmakers, locals and visitors alike find this such a special place. A guided Jeep tour takes you off the beaten path and reveals more about the native culture and way of life.
