The North Rim of the Grand Canyon Arizona’s Ultimate Fall Leaves Driving Tour!

October 3rd-5th, 2022 Monday-Wednesday $599 (Double Occupancy) $169 (Single Supplement)

Day One: We’ll leave the Valley with a stop for coffee & goodies on our way to Cameron Trading Post for lunch on self. Nestled along the Colorado River, and just 30 minutes south of the Grand Canyon, this trading post has been catering to Arizona tourists for over 100 years, serving great food at moderate prices.

And at an elevation ranging from 8,000-9,000 feet above sea level, the North Rim forms the edge of the Kaibab Plateau— offering some of the most spectacular views in the world. Early October, autumn color should be at its peak, the weather—fingers crossed—still pleasant, and the crowds dwindled away. Our journey to the North Rim could not be more dramatic—taking us past golden stands of quaking aspen, leading to forests of ancient spruce, fir, and pine trees. We’ll explore the North Rim as a driving tour along paved roads, stopping at important viewpoints—with an eye out for wildlife. We’ll enjoy lunch on self, at the Kaibab Lodge—offering ring side seating for all of this great scenery.

Late afternoon, we’ll return to our hotel, enjoy our own Happy Hour, and then dinner on self.

Day Three: Breakfast is included at the hotel, then it’s bags out and we’ll head for home, with a stop for lunch on self in historic downtown Flagstaff and plenty of great sightseeing along the way. Don’t miss this bucket list tour!

The Haunted Gadsden Hotel October 25th-26th, 2022 Tuesday-Wednesday $399 (Based Upon Double Occupancy) $75 (Single Supplement) Just a few miles north of the Mexican border, Douglas, Arizona, a once remote ranching town is home to the notorious Gadsden Hotel. Built in 1902, then destroyed by fire, the Gadsden was rebuilt in 1929 in the Art Nouveau style—offering a magnificent Tiffany stained glass window overlooking the lobby, and a sweeping Italian marble staircase—up which Pancho Villa reportedly rode his horse. The hotel provided gracious hospitality to the growing business brought in by the mining industry and the settling of the Arizona Territory. The lobby of the Gadsden, “the living room,” hosted cattlemen, ranchers, copper mining executives and businessmen. For all of the Gadsden’s rich history, the hotel also had a dark side—hosting gamblers, and notable lawless characters of the American West. Famously haunted, guests and staff members have reported paranormal encounters on every floor, with the third floor seemingly the epicenter. The basement of the Gadsden is beyond fascinating—a 7,000 square foot labyrinth of twenty rooms—which secretly housed bootleg whiskey tunnels, brothels and the Rathskeller Speakeasy.

Day One: We’ll leave the Valley with a stop for coffee and goodies, on way to Tombstone—The Town Too Tough To Die. Tombstone is home to many great little restaurants where we’ll enjoy lunch on self, and later take some time to stroll the blood-soaked streets, before jumping back in the Transits headed for Douglas. We’ll arrive at the hotel, check into our beautifully renovated rooms, and after a refresh we’ll gather again in the lobby before heading into the dark underbelly of the Gadsden!

Let the party begin! A fabulous Welcome Dinner with a glass of wine will be served in the eerie and atmospheric Rathskeller Speakeasy. Take a one hundred year step back in time and unleash your inner flapper/gangster self! Cocktail attire is required, period attire is encouraged, unless you truly are a cowboy. A jacket or a feather boa would do nicely. Dinner is included— Prohibition era cocktails will be available and on self.

Day Two: Breakfast is on self at the hotel, then it’s bags out and we’re headed to Bisbee, located 90 miles southeast of Tucson in the scenic Mule Mountains. Founded in 1880, Bisbee was one of the most cultured cities in the American West—the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco. Downtown Bisbee still retains much of its cosmopolitan charm, with its mining camp roots also fully on display in the rollicking Brewery Gulch district—once home to 50 saloons and several brothels. We’ll visit the Queen Mine, don hard hats, miner’s headlamps and the always stylish yellow slicker, then head underground and back in time! Retired Phelps Dodge employees will narrate our journey 1,500 feet into the mine, recounting the dangers and dramas of mining days.

Later we’ll explore the streets of Bisbee, now home to many interesting shops and galleries, and we’ll enjoy lunch on self with several wonderful restaurants to choose from. Midafternoon we’ll head for home—a relaxing journey through the rolling hills of Southern Arizona, with plenty of great stops along the way. Hotel rooms at the Gadsden are very limited. Don’t wait to make your reservations!

Tranquil and scenic, most trails are also inhabited by watchable wildlife, including elk, deer, antelope, turkey and more. A unique feature of the Trail System is the loop concept. Traditional trails take us from point A to point B, requiring a return trip over the same terrain. The Trail System takes us from point A to point A, along a loop offering connector loops that vary in length and level of difficulty—a great system for all ages.

Day One: We’ll leave the Valley with a stop in Payson at Fargo’s Steakhouse for a delicious meet & greet lunch, included. After lunch it’s back in the Transits and we’re off to enjoy breathtaking scenery on our way to Hon-Dah Casino Resort, our headquarters for the next two nights.

Day Two: Breakfast is included at the hotel, and then it’s back in the Transits and we’re off to explore The White Mountain Trail System. The day is yours to participate on whatever level you feel comfortable—whether it’s hiking an easy trail or connecting with nature from the comfort of a picnic table with a glass of wine! We’ll explore as much of this region as time allows, then late afternoon we’ll return to our hotel, enjoy dinner on self and another free evening.

Day Three: Breakfast is included at the hotel, and then it’s bags out and we’re back in the Transits headed for home.

We’ll enjoy a scenic loop back to the Valley taking us through the Salt River Canyon, a 2,000 foot-deep river canyon, so gorgeous and loaded with history that it is often referred to as the Little Grand Canyon. This stretch of highway is broad and well-paved, offering heart-stopping views. We’ll make our way into Globe, for lunch on self at Guayo’s Mexican Restaurant, where the price is right and the food is good. After lunch we’ll hightail it for home with plenty of sightseeing along the way. This affordable tour includes so much—we hope you’ll join us!

After lunch we’re off to Goldwater Lake, the jewel in the crown of the Prescott National Forest. From here we’ll head northeast to enjoy a spectacular driving tour of Watson and Willow Lakes.

From here we’ll make our way to Lynx Lake, in the cool and pine-scented Bradshaw Mountains.

So completely different from the twins, Lynx Lake is heavily wooded, and surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines, scrub oak and Manzanita. This lovely area is home to a wide variety of wildlife, offering a fantastic connection to nature and a dramatic ending to a Kindred Tours Classic!
