Your journey begins as you wind through the picturesque Oak Creek Canyon, known for its red rock formations and lush greenery and voted one of the most beautiful drives in the US. Keep your camera ready for breathtaking views as we drive through this stunning gorge.
As we reach the top of the Colorado Plateau, the towering San Francisco Peaks rise in the distance. This ancient volcanic mountain is not only a geological marvel but also a sacred landmark for Native American tribes.
After passing across the plateau through yet another different landscape, we arrive at the Grand Canyon, carved into the plateau by the Colorado River over millions of years. Prepare to be awed by its vastness.
Your tour includes multiple overlooks, each offering a unique perspective of this natural wonder. Stand in awe at our favorite Grand Canyon vistas - the sweeping views will leave you speechless.
Midday, indulge in a gourmet lunch at the historic El Tovar Lodge, perched right on the Grand Canyon's rim. Relish expertly crafted dishes made from fresh, local ingredients while enjoying the ambience of the historic restaurant where dignitaries like Teddy Roosevelt and Albert Einstein once dined.
Continue exploring the Grand Canyon after lunch, with plenty of stops for photos and moments of reflection. If you like, take a half-mile stroll along the Trail of Time on the canyon’s rim.
On your way home, the beauty is far from over. After leaving the Grand Canyon National Park you will also see the Painted Desert and the little Colorado River Gorge with their vibrant colors and unique geological features. As we return to Sedona, sit back, relax and reflect on
a day you will never forget.
