As or THE FLOW plies through long, placid stretches of flat water, waves gently rock you, lulling you into a state of calm that melts away your cares, allowing you to soak in the scenery. One-of-a-kind views unfold along the Colorado River through scenic Glen Canyon in Northern Arizona: Vertical walls of sandstone tower 1,200 feet above you, adorned by hanging gardens of spring-fed plants. Waterfalls tumble out of rock walls, where you might spot ancient American Indian rock art, known as petroglyphs.
