1-Day Colors and Canyons - Grand Canyon Ground and Air Tour from Phoenix/Scottsdale

Day 1 Scottsdale-Sedona-Grand Canyon-Phoenix(466 miles)

After departing the Phoenix metro area, Sedona, AZ is our first stop. We drive through the entire Sedona area, including uptown Sedona and the full length of Oak Creek Canyon. Guests will have a chance to photograph the famous Red Rocks, stretch their legs and often pick up lunch from a Sedona restaurant to take as a picnic to Grand Canyon.

While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, guests will have a three-hour guided tour that includes a 45 minute helicopter tour over the deepest and widest part of the Grand Canyon. Guests will also have an opportunity to walk the rim, shop, have lunch, or just relax with a view. While in the Grand Canyon, we'll explore a 30-mile section of road that winds along the rim of the canyon, showcasing the best rim views and history along the way.

Returning to Phoenix from the canyon, we will enjoy views of the Navajo Nation and Painted Desert, with a stop at an authentic Navajo trading post.
