About this activity

Hosted by local owner opereror Dynamic Journey Tours.

Starting with Oak Creek Canyon, one of americas most beautiful drives, then next on to the lava flows at Sunset Crater, and the 2800 Pueblos at Wupatki National monument, all while exploring the the ancient landscape the same way the natives had, so that when one arrives to the Grand Canyon they come in with full breath of readiness to experience it (we are the only company that spends time at multiple spots in each park). The journey before the Grand Canyon is majority exploring the painted desert! Before entering the Canyon we stop for lunch at the famous Cameron Trading post, then off to the East entrance, where we explore 4 points of interest to entirely take the day in, finally exiting at the south entrance. We take the the time to walk for an hour along the Rim path at the last destination, in Grand Canyon Village.

This is the most comprehensive and fulfilling day trip Journey. One could have to the Grand Canyon.
