Itinerary

Coconino National Forest

Passing by

Begin the day with a scenic drive through the Coconino National Forest beneath the San Francisco Peaks. Along the way, your naturalist guide will introduce the geology of the San Francisco Volcanic Field, the ecology of the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest, and the layered human history of northern Arizona.
Grand Canyon Village

3 hours

Spend the morning along the historic South Rim learning how nearly two billion years of geology shaped the Grand Canyon. Examine real rock samples from our mobile geology museum, then explore Grand Canyon Village’s historic buildings and museums while discovering how the canyon became one of the world’s most iconic national parks. A relaxed lunch inside the park is included, giving you time to recharge and reflect on the morning's views.
Grand Canyon National Park

4 hours

Spend the afternoon traveling along the Grand Canyon’s scenic Desert View Drive as your guide selects the best panoramic overlooks and continues sharing insights into the canyon’s geology, ecology, and stories of exploration — both historic and modern. This breathtaking route leads to the eastern edge of the park near the border of the Navajo Nation, where the canyon landscape begins to merge with the Painted Desert. Along the way, learn about Native American history and the cultural connections tied to this region.
