We loved Australia\u2019s unique wildlife and rock formations. Our visit to Kangaroo Island checked a lot of boxes. One of our favorite stops on the island was at these Remarkable Rocks in the Flinders Chase National Park. We also encountered sea lions, koalas, &amp; kangaroos within conservation areas where we learned about the devasting bushfires of 2020 and the efforts underway to sustain and restore the wildlife and ecology of the area. Seeing koalas and kangaroos in their natural habitat was a must on my bucket list. This tour fulfilled that dream and then some.

You\u2019ll first explore the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center on this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experience, and our contribution supports the preservation of this historic battlefield. In the evening, enjoy a celebratory Regional Dinner at the famously haunted 19th-century Dobbin House. You\u2019ll also receive a visit from a Union soldier who will share stories from the American Civil War.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em>We think you&#8217;ll also like: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/11-african-american-historical-landmarks-visit-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>11 African-American historical landmarks to visit in the USA<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-9-watching-the-sunrise-over-monument-valley\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <strong>Watching the sunrise over Monument Valley <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-876478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2024\/04\/Large-Two-Traditional-Navajo-Native-American-Sisters-In-Monument-Valley-Tribal-Park-on-a-Rocky-Butte-Enjoying-a-Sunrise-or-Sunset-1069867734-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"two Navajo women watching the sunrise over Monument Valley\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Large-Two-Traditional-Navajo-Native-American-Sisters-In-Monument-Valley-Tribal-Park-on-a-Rocky-Butte-Enjoying-a-Sunrise-or-Sunset-1069867734-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Large-Two-Traditional-Navajo-Native-American-Sisters-In-Monument-Valley-Tribal-Park-on-a-Rocky-Butte-Enjoying-a-Sunrise-or-Sunset-1069867734-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Large-Two-Traditional-Navajo-Native-American-Sisters-In-Monument-Valley-Tribal-Park-on-a-Rocky-Butte-Enjoying-a-Sunrise-or-Sunset-1069867734.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;You don\u2019t want to miss the sunrise, our tour guide assured us. Wake up is at 6:17 but you won\u2019t regret getting up early. So we set the alarm, and wrapped up in robes with mugs of coffee, walked out onto our hotel deck overlooking Monument Valley. As the sun began its ascent, colors that we previously assumed only came in a crayon box exploded before our eyes. The panorama before us was a reminder of the majesty and wonder that comes with travel. Our tour guide was right; it was worth setting the alarm.&#8221; <br \/>\u2013 MaryAnn B<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-experience-this-on-best-of-the-canyonlands-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Experience this on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/best-of-the-canyonlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Best of the Canyonlands<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you stay at Goulding\u2019s Lodge in Monument Valley, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve stepped back in time to the 1920s when the lodge was founded. Once a famous Hollywood movie set, you\u2019ll learn all about the lodge\u2019s film star days. It\u2019s also the perfect place to watch the sunrise over Monument Valley, home to the Navajo Nation, and your stay will contribute to the hotel\u2019s support of the local Navajo community.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As part of our visit, you\u2019ll also enjoy a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experience with a local Navajo guide.
