Tour itinerary
This trip covers a lot of terrain in and around Grand Canyon National Park, so it starts early in the morning with a mini-coach pickup from your Flagstaff or Sedona accommodation.
The first significant destination is Wupatki National Monument. The ancient Native American civilization of Sinagua thrived here for 400 years, according to your guide. Then, about a millennium ago, ancient desert residents watched the catastrophic eruption of the Sunset Crater Volcano, which devastated their homes and caused them to flee. Your trip includes a stop at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument’s lava fields.
Take a break from sightseeing and have lunch at the historic Cameron Trading Post. The terrace offers a view of the Little Colorado River Gorge.
Reboard your mini-coach after lunch and proceed into the Grand Canyon for an afternoon of exploration of this amazing natural marvel. Visit vantage sites along the canyon’s East Rim and South Room for spectacular views of the gorges below. There will be time to explore on your own at your leisure.
Whether you’re on foot or in a mini-coach, your experienced guide will tell you about the history, archaeology, geology, and flora and fauna of the Grand Canyon and surrounding region during the day.
