From there it's reasonably easy to run up to Banff and Jasper NPs in Canada. YYC is around 90 min. from Banff. IMO the Canadian Rockies should be on everyone's bucket list; others may disagree.
Thanks for the reply. However, we have already toured the Canadian Rockies several times (Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, Yoho, Radium Hot Springs, etc.) so this trip will be devoted to the US parts. Currently we think we will do the Grand Canyon / Zion / Bryce / Monument Valley trip suggested above.
So far this is what we have in mind:
Day one: arrive LAS early evening stay overnight in LAS
Day two/three: two nights in Tusayan, AZ tour Grand Canyon
Day four: one night in Kayenta, AZ Monument valley
Day five/six: two nights in Escalante, UT for Bryce Canyon
Day seven/eight: two nights in Kanab for Zion
Day nine: one night in Page AZ for Antelope Canyon
Day ten: back to LAS
Day eleven: fly to YYC
