I hope you’re ready to explore a place like no other! Note: This 60+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Grand Canyon and Sedona in 2-3 hours Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Call Of The Canyon Picnic Site

Sedona changed forever in 1923, when filmmaker Zane Grey arrived with a film crew and a dream. Here, Zane shot the silent film Call of the Canyon, a western about a soldier returning from war. He wanted creative freedom he couldn’t get in LA, and was captivated by Sedona’s landscape.

Chapel of the Holy Cross

Back in 1931, the Empire State Building finished construction in New York. Uhhh so… what does that have to do with Sedona? Well, local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Staude saw that skyscraper and was so inspired she simply had to create something just as impressive in her home state of Arizona.

Village of Oak Creek

Village of Oak Creek, known to locals as “The Village,” this unincorporated community is chock full of shops and restaurants perfect for a post-tour break. The Village also boasts three huge golf courses for those who like to hit the links!

Grand Canyon Visitor Center South Rim

You'll arrive first at the Visitor Center, where you can find maps and other park info, as well as restrooms and snacks.

Mather Point

Your first overlook will be Mather Point, one of the park's most popular spots. The views here are simply incredible, offering clear line of sight up to 30 miles across the canyon!

Yavapai Point

The next viewpoint is Yavapai Point, where you'll get more great views from the canyon's south rim and learn about the tribe for whom the point is named.

Hopi House

The first stop within the village is the Hopi House, an incredibly accurate recreation of the ancient Hopi dwellings one might have found here while the tribe still occupied the area. This building is also the perfect place to pick up some handmade souvenirs from your visit!

Yavapai Geology Museum

Want to get hands on with the Grand Canyon's geological history? Just stop by the Yavapai Geology Museum for some educational exhibits!

Kolb Studio

As you continue on to Kolb Studio, the competitor to Lookouot Studio, you'll hear all about the bitter rivalry between the two which almost drove them both to ruin back in the 1900s.

Lookout Studio

Up ahead are two buildings perched on the canyon’s edge. The one you can see right now is Lookout Studio, and you’ll find one just a little beyond it called Kolb Studio.

Hermit Road

For the next part of the tour, you'll hop on board the park's free shuttle. Don't worry, your audio tour guide will instruct you on exactly how to do this!

Trailview Overlook

The first stop on Hermit Road is Trailview Overlook, which offers views of the famous Bright Angel Trail, the grueling path which leads all the way down to the bottom of the canyon. You'll probably even see some exhausted hikers climbing it!

Maricopa Point

Next up is Maricopa Point, which was once the site of a uranium mining operation. Get the unexpected history behind this while you appreciate the gorgeous views.

Powell Point

After that is Powell Point, which offers more canyon magic and honors the explorer who risked life and limb to chart the Colorado River.

Hopi Point

The shuttle route brings you next to Hopi Point, where you'll learn about bald eagles, their importance to the Hopi tribe, and how to spot them.

Mohave Point

If you've been hoping for a great view of the Colorado River, that's up next at Mohave Point. Here, you'll get a bird's eye view of this tremendously powerful river.

Monument Creek Vista

Monument Creek Vista, up next, offers a view of the most intense rapids in the park: Granite Rapids. You'll also hear about the first female river guide and how she got her start in the Grand Canyon!

Pima Point

The next stop on your right is Pima Point, which sports one of the best views of Colorado. When you’re there, stop and listen. If the vista’s quiet, you can hear the rushing sound of water moving along the river.

Hermit's Rest

So where does all this stuff get its name? Well, back in the mining days, one particular miner had no interest in being around other people. He far preferred the rhythms of nature. He spent most of his life living near this spot, content to while away his days with only the rocks and birds and squirrels to keep him company.

Pipe Creek Vista

After the shuttle, the tour continues east along Desert View Drive. The first stop along this road is Pipe Creek Vista, a favorite for birders hoping to spot the canyon's rarer specimens, including even the ultra-rare California condor!

Grandview Point

After that is Grandview Point, and the view seriously is grand. This is also the trailhead for a hiking trail which leads below the canyon's rim and features some truly remarkable sights.

Lipan Point

After that you'll come to Lipan Point, offering another great river view along with some fascinating facts about the park's geology.

Navajo Point

The final viewpoint along this drive is Navajo Point, and last certainly isn't least in this case. Navajo Point is actually the highest viewpoint on the entire southern rim, standing at a staggering 7,500 feet above sea level!

Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower

At last, you'll arrive at the iconic Desert View Watchtower, a truly impressive stone structure perched on the canyon's edge. Depending on the season, you can even climb to the top for a view unlike any other. The tour concludes here.

Yaki Point

A popular place for viewing sunrise & sunset, this remote lookout & shuttle stop offers restrooms.

South Kaibab Trail

The South Kaibab Trail is a hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park, located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Unlike the Bright Angel Trail which also begins at the south rim of the Grand Canyon and leads to the Colorado River, the South Kaibab Trail follows a ridge out to Skeleton Point allowing for 360-degree views of the canyon.

Tusayan Ruins and Museum

Tusayan Ruins and Museum is a great stop for learning more about ancient cultures. We particularly enjoyed the walk through the ruins with the signage.
