To see Arizona’s rich history, the Grand Canyon tour with an overnight stay gives you a chance to marvel at the spectacular landscapes of the Grand Canyon and explore local artisans. After departing the Phoenix metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. Included in this tour is a special visit to the stunning Red Rocks of Sedona. Enjoy a photo stop at Bell Rock and approximately 30 minutes in Uptown Sedona. You will also get to enjoy the scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon which connects Sedona to the Ponderosa pine forests of Flagstaff! Home to Arizona’s most popular ski resort, Snow Bowl, Flagstaff boasts the beautiful San Francisco Peaks, standing over 12,000 feet!
You’ll experience several hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. Don’t forget to visit the historic El Tovar Lodge and Hopi House in Grand Canyon Village.
