Of the four towns/cities we review, Sedona is farthest from Grand Canyon, a little over two hours. However,
it is truly among the most beautiful cities in America. Amenities abound--great restaurants, hotels, and resorts. Epic scenery
and hiking. World class shopping. The road from Sedona to Grand Canyon is also gorgeous.
A bit of warning: Grand Canyon gets snow in winter! If you lodge in
lower-altitude Sedona, you can check next day's Grand Canyon weather before
you go. If it is bad, you will be glad you are in warmer-weather Sedona with
itws many activities. You can postpone your Grand Canyon trip until the sun shines!
Although hotels are numerous, Sedona is an extremely popular town, so book your lodging as soon as you can.
Be ready for long trafic snarls.
Your nicest Grand Canyon tour from Sedona actually begins in
Flagstaff! Other Grand Canyon tours, ones that start in Sedona, last a
grueling 12-14 hours. Instead, you can drive your own car one hour to Flagstaff and join our
Ultimate Tour there.
The drive from Sedona to Flagstaff is very scenic. It offers a
hidden advantage: you will cut about 2 hours from 'their' tours. When we return you to your car in Flagstaff at about
5:00-6:00 PM, you
might choose to have your dinner there, in one of Flagstaff's excellent restaurants (see below). Then
you can have a leisurely drive back to Sedona on your own schedule, in your own car, and directly to
your hotel instead of waiting for drop-offs.
Please call our operator today to reserve your spot in our van! Bookings fill early, especially March thru October.
