3 days, 2 nights – Start & End in Phoenix:
Visit Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and Historic Winslow, AZ
While visiting Arizona, this trip will cover all attractions you would find on any AZ local’s bucket list. Arizona has so many terrific sites to offer in nature and it would be hard to leave any of them off your itinerary. The views during this drive through the Northern part of Arizona will only inspire the more extensive scenery that will be experienced each day.
On February 26, 2019, the Grand Canyon celebrates 100 years of its designation as a national park. That’s 100 years of dedicated work and stewardship from National Park Service employees.
Long before Grand Canyon was established as a national park, people have been a significant driving force in the Colorado Plateau area. For thousands of years and continuing today, American Indians cared for, shared knowledge of and admired this special place. Early pioneers, scientists and entrepreneurs explored and documented its beauty and shared it with the world. In 2019, we will not only celebrate the Grand Canyon but, we will acknowledge and celebrate the people.
