Grand Canyon By Ground

This is a special tour by one of Arizona’s best rated guides!

     Departing Sedona by private vehicle in the morning we indulge in the first of many breathtaking vistas on our drive through the lush woodlands of the Oak Creek Canyon, scattered with stunning creek views, towering red rock formations, and a windy scenic drive up to Flagstaff. Packed with fascinating historical narrative, tasteful music, and expert care, your job is simply to gawk, laugh, relax, and take in the amazing magic that the Southwest has to offer. Heading over to Navajo country, we’ll get a peek at Sunset Crater Volcano, the Painted Desert, and excellent views of the Little Colorado River Gorge, one of the Navajo natural wonders.

     Inside the Grand Canyon National Park we begin a leisurely exploration of its prized hot spots like the famous Watchtower built in the spirit of ancient Hopi architecture, historic lodges like the El Tovar and Bright Angel, and enjoy stunning one-way rim-walks down comfortable paved trails for up to a mile or more, your choice. Gourmet dining in an atmosphere of casual elegance is whats on the lunch menu at the El Tovar Dining Room, located in the historic El Tovar Hotel. One of the more famous Harvey House Hotels and Restaurants built for the Sante Fe Railroad around 1903 – you will feel like you are supping at a European Hunting Lodge.

     After lunch, we’ll explore the Grand Canyon Village, a hub of activity for shopping, hiking trails, scenic overlooks, historic buildings, and bird-watching for the endangered but majestic California Condors. Your guide can be as actively involved in your day as you wish, joining you on rim walks and pointing out 230 million year old fossils, and filling you in on Grand Canyon geology, Native American lore, flora, fauna, and a few surprises. Many say it looks like a painting because of its indescribable beauty.
