Thank you for not simply listing a bunch of resorts! Huge pet peeve when people talk about travel but only focus on where to stay, never bothering to venture out and explore.

[@justinagritzan]

I've never seen such an amazing region with breathtaking nature like this! It's difficult to say which is my favorite place, as I love ALL places you shown 😊 But Grand canyon, Antelope and Havasu falls are my dream. Ryan, thank you!

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks Dina! Its quite different than Bali or Germany lol, hope you can come to the states soon and see them all!

The Four Corners & Grand Canyon. area is one of my favorite places and I've been there many times. I made the hike up Angel's Landing and down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up the next morning. I recommend that if you haven't already done it. For part two I'd recommend Bryce Canyon, the often overlooked Walnut Canyon outside Flagstaff, The Marble Canyon and Vermillion Cliffs area just before Grand Canyon opens up.

[@RyanShirley]

Wow, I've never heard of Walnut or Marble Canyon! I gotta check them out next time I'm down there! And the Vermillion Cliffs look amazing.
