Day 1 Itinerary

We depart the Phoenix & Scottsdale area between 6:00am – 7:00am and travel through the cacti-covered mountains of the Sonoran Desert. Watch the terrain change to grasslands and high desert as we approach Sedona. Our first major stop will give you a chance to explore ancient Native American ruins at Montezuma Castle National Monument, one of the best-preserved Sinagua cliff dwellings in North America dating back around 1,000 years.

Following our time at Montezuma Castle, the tour will begin to explore the mystique surrounding Sedona with options ranging from cultural and spiritual to adventurous and active. You will enjoy views of the famous red rock features of Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, and Chapel of the Holy Cross. You will also be treated to views of Cathedral Rock, Snoopy Rock, and Submarine Rock, to name a few.

In uptown Sedona, you can explore on foot the many art galleries and shops, get a psychic reading, or enjoy the serenity that Sedona provides with a glass of wine on the balcony. Guests will also have the option of walking to Tlaquepaque, an outdoor arts & crafts village full of art galleries, craft shops, cobblestone paths & decorative arches.

Shopping and galleries not your thing? Alternate choices available to you as add-ons are either off-road jeep tours or guided hikes. Both options offer a more immersive backcountry experience among the famous Red Rock backdrop. In the afternoon, your guide will check you into your Uptown Sedona hotel for a relaxing night on your own where you will be in close walking distance to shops, galleries, and restaurants!

Will we visit the Skywalk?

Will I have time to hike?
In Sedona, you will have time to hike if you pre-book a guided hike (we can arrange). Otherwise, you will have time for scenic walking around Uptown and nearby. In Grand Canyon National Park, you will have approximately 24 hours of free time on your own to walk the rim and/or hike. Our tour guides are not permitted to lead hikes, therefore, any hiking off pavement will be self-guided. Bright Angel Trail is very popular (rated difficult!) and very convenient to locate. Your guide can assist with information about hikes available.
What is the difference between Lower and Upper Antelope?

Lower and Upper Antelope Canyon are equal in beauty. The main difference is how one enters and exits the canyons. Lower required more mobility due to the ladders/stairs within the canyon. We do Lower on this tour.

Only Lower Antelope is available on our public tour. Upper Antelope is possible on our private tour only.
