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 Full Day 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, arriving at 8:00 AM. Here you can join our Ultimate Full Day Tour.

When you arrive in Flagstaff, we will pick you up at the Denny's restaurant on the right hand side just as you enter town. Super-easy to find. They are happy to have your car there during the tour.

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 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.
