About this tour

Leave the Phoenix/Scottsdale valley behind for a full day at two of Arizona's best-known landscapes. You'll spend about three hours at Grand Canyon National Park, taking in two viewpoints with free time to explore on your own, then get roughly two hours in Sedona's red rock country. Travel is by air-conditioned van with hotel pickup and drop-off, and lunch and a guide come with it. Expect photo stops at local red rock sites along the way.

Highlights

Take in wide open views from Mather Point, one of the South Rim's most famous overlooks
Walk part of the Bright Angel Trail to feel the canyon's scale from inside its walls
Catch the canyon changing color at sunset from Hopi Point
Visit the Yavapai Geology Museum to see how millions of years built the canyon's rock layers
Stand on the West Rim's glass-floored Skywalk above the canyon (on select tours)
Spot the Colorado River from the rim overlooks, inner-canyon trails, or a raft
See the canyon from the air on a helicopter or airplane flight for a whole new angle

How the Day Works and Good to Know

This is a full-day trip out of the Phoenix and Scottsdale valley, so plan on an early hotel pickup and a fairly long drive. The South Rim sits roughly 3.5 hours north of Phoenix, and you'll spend about three hours in Grand Canyon National Park with time at two viewpoints plus free time to walk the rim on your own. The stop in Sedona and the red rock photo stops break up the return, so pace yourself and keep water and a camera handy.

The park itself is open 24 hours a day, year-round, but the facilities keep seasonal hours. The South Rim Visitor Center runs 08:00 to 16:00 from May 23 to August 31, and 08:00 to 17:00 from September 1 to May 22. Once inside, the South Rim's free shuttle buses connect the main viewpoints, visitor centers, and lodges, which is handy during your free time. Spring and fall bring the mildest weather; summer afternoons can be hot with monsoon storms, so dress for the conditions and wear sturdy shoes if you plan to walk any of the trails.

Important Information

The canyon has four sections, the South, North, West, and East Rims, and what a tour covers varies a lot by area and departure city
South Rim tours are the most popular in the national park and usually run as bus, Hummer, or helicopter trips
West Rim tours, common from Las Vegas, may add the Skywalk, helicopter flights that land in the canyon, or a Colorado River boat ride; the West Rim is not part of the national park
Helicopter and airplane tours cap weight at about 300 lbs (136 kg); passengers over that may need to buy an extra seat
Ground tours usually include national park entrance fees, but air-only tours typically do not
Weather affects tours: July and August monsoon storms can cancel flights, and winter weather can limit South Rim access
Combo tours that pair flights, landings, boat rides, or Skywalk access let you see several viewpoints in one visit
Some tours also take in or pass Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, or aerial views of the Las Vegas Strip
Inner-canyon summer temperatures can top 110°F (43°C), so bring water, sun protection, and good footwear
Trails are steep and the climb out is much harder than the way down; stay on marked trails
The South Rim runs a free shuttle linking major viewpoints, visitor centers, and lodges
Drones are strictly banned inside Grand Canyon National Park
Keep to marked trails and back from cliff edges; no shortcuts
Never feed, approach, or disturb the wildlife
Follow your guide's and staff's instructions during guided activities
Helicopter and airplane tours have safety rules covering seating and weight limits
Tours may change or be canceled for weather or safety
No littering, and don't remove rocks or damage natural features
Accessibility differs by rim, viewpoint, and tour type
