Scenic Beginning Up Oak Creek Canyon.

Your Grand Canyon tour from Sedona begins with an ascent up Oak Creek Canyon described as one of America's most scenic drives by Rand McNally. Meander along shimmering Oak Creek amidst thick forests and views of towering red rock cliffs. We make a brief stop at Sterling Springs where we fill jugs with crystal clear spring water. We proceed to Flagstaff, Arizona where we may pickup Flagstaff originating guests.

On To The Grand Canyon

The scenic drive continues through the world's largest Ponderosa Pine forest. Be rewarded with views of the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountain range in Arizona at 12,600 feet. After a brief pit stop at the Double Eagle Trading Post and a very short drive.

Cowanga! The Grand Canyon.

The thrill you've been waiting for. Enjoy about 1.5 hours at Grand Canyon Village. Take your gourmet lunch to the edges of the canyon. Stroll the Rim Trail. Tour the historic buildings. Watch the mules enter the Bright Angel Trail. Shop at the Hopi House. Savor the astounding views from Kolb Studio and Lookout Studio.

Desert View Scenic Drive.

Next we begin the scenic Desert View Drive along the canyon's edges. We make a stop at the Yavapai Observatory Overlook for more amazing views of the canyon and potential sightings of the California Condors which have been introduced at the Grand Canyon to revive this almost extinct largest bird in North America with wing spans up to 9.5 feet. We proceed to Grand View Point, which features great views of the Colorado River far below.

Desert View at the Grand Canyon East Rim.

Serene and tranquil. Arguably the most beautiful scenes into and across the canyon. We spend about an hour here relishing breathtaking panoramas with views of the North Rim and the Colorado River. On a clear day, see Marble Canyon, the eastern genesis of the Grand Canyon. Climb the Watch Tower which sits on the canyon's edge overlooking dramatic cliff. This will get the adrenalin churning.

Navajo Trading Post and Little Colorado River.

On to the Navajo Indian Reservation. Along the way, catch distant views of the western edges of the Painted Desert. You'll have time to stretch the legs and view a wide variety of authentic Indian made jewelry, pottery, art, sculptures, Kachina Dolls, ancient artifacts and other Native American crafts and take in the view of the Little Colorado River.

Back To Sedona AZ.

It's a different route back through Flagstaff to Sedona. Deja vu of the forests, views of the San Francisco Peaks and a descent into Oak Creek Canyon and a safe return to your Sedona hotel. This completes the Silver Spur VIP Loop Tour of the Grand Canyon.

Your memories of an incredible journey to one of the world's seven wonders will be an experience of a lifetime. It will be our pleasure to bring it to you.
