Tour Description:

Enjoy and amazing day with Grand Canyon National Park, Sedona and the Navajo Nation from the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.  After departing the Phoenix metro area, Sedona will be our first stop along the tour.  Guests will have a chance to photograph the famous Red Rocks, stretch their legs and take a quick walk around this picturesque town.  While you are enjoying Sedona, your guide will pick up your excellent picnic lunch made fresh that morning.  From Sedona, the tour passes through Oak Creek Canyon, a scenic byway that winds through 2000 vertical feet of a red walled canyon to emerge surrounded by the dense ponderosa pines of the Coconino National Forest.

Atop the Mogollon Rim, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff on our way to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Guests will enjoy at least three hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. While at the South Rim of the National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited amount of photographs, or enjoy your lunch and relax with the best seat in the house.  During our time in the National Park we will also explore the infamous 30-mile section of road that winds east along the rim of the canyon, showcasing the best rim views and history along the way.

Before returning to Phoenix from the Grand Canyon, we will be treated to distant views of the Painted Desert as well as close up views of the Little Colorado River Gorge and Navajo Nation.  The Painted Desert is the perfect backdrop for our stop in the Navajo Nation at a prominent trading post.  You will be able to get a glimpse into the past, view the highest quality authentic Navajo artwork and craft work, as well as a gift shop to bring back souvenirs for friends and family.
