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. After lunch it’s back in the Transits and we’re headed for Kanab, Utah an incredibly scenic drive that takes us through Navajo land with views of Marble Canyon, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam and more. After checking into our hotel, we’ll take a little time for a refresh, gather for our own Happy Hour and then head out for dinner on self.
Day Two: Breakfast is included at the hotel, then it’s back in the Transits and we’re headed for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon! More remote and less developed, the North Rim attracts far fewer tourists than the South Rim. 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!
