About Sedona
Of Grand Canyon's gateway towns, 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! Consider lodging in lower-altitude Sedona. That way, you can
check next day's Grand Canyon weather before you drive
or start a tour there. If it is bad, you will be
glad you are in warmer-weather Sedona with its 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 traffic snarls.

Ultimate Grand Canyon Tour
'from Sedona'
Your nicest Grand Canyon tour from Sedona actually begins in
Flagstaff! Let me explain. Other Grand Canyon tours, ones that start and end in Sedona, last a
grueling 12-14 hours. Instead, you can drive your own car 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.
