Ultimate Grand Canyon Day Tours
On our full day tour of the Grand Canyon , you won't miss anything. We will visit the iconic viewpoints along the South Rim. You will have an interactive geology presentation and take-home surprises. Lunch is included at a Grand Canyon restaurant or a picnic at the South Rim (order from menu). Enrichment and enjoyment burst from this tour!
We pick you up at any Grand Canyon area town or lodging. Enjoy Canyon Dave Tours from Williams, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, or any nearby hotel, Airbnb or campground.
We Have Arrived at the Grand Canyon!
We will whisk you to the breathtaking South Rim. In a few minutes you will be walking into the pine-forested ledges of our first
outdoor vista, Yavapai Point.
For many, this is a first view of Grand Canyon, so we allow time to just
take it all in. You will carry our provided binoculars to pick out distant sights: the Colorado River, Phantom Ranch, or
the mule-riders on Bright Angel Trail.
Here at the South Rim, we acknowledge the depth of the Canyon and the even greater depth of geologic time. The rock layers
formed one by one with great pauses called unconformities between each layer. Then, much later, raindrop by raindrop, grain by grain,
and landslide by landslide, the Grand Canyon grew. Now it is 277 miles long and averages 8 miles wide, all in Arizona.
We will walk a bit of the level Rim Trail, focusing now on the diverse
plant life of the area and any wild animals or birds we may encounter--you will
take home colorful hand-out Info-Sheets.
It is not uncommon to see deer, elk, bighorn sheep, or a California Condor soaring above the abyss with the ubiquitous ravens.
The condor has the widest wingspan (9.5 feet) of any bird in North America.
“Just as thrilled with this experience as with our Sedona Tour with Canyon Dave Tours.
Great information, well presented, good pace, everything an A++ experience. Don't change a thing!"
-Judi and Arthur E.
Lunch is Provided
Time for lunch already! You will order your picnic from the menu or in a restaurant (included in tour price). We will include
nice gift stores if you are in the mood to shop.
Let's Rim-hop to Grandview, Moran, and Lipan Points!
Depending on time and traffic, we will stop at all of these. At
the South Rim you will
sit comfortably on folding chairs in view of the Canyon. Your guide will lead a memorable session on Grand Canyon rocks and their
ages. You will pass around larger rock specimens and place smaller ones on your geology handout.
Here also, we will piece
together the four eras of Grand Canyon's geologic history. We will imagine the rock layers
that existed at the end of each chapter. Your guide will paint a verbal picture of each long-lost landscape. In testimonials, this
stop rates as the favorite on the whole tour.
We return along the Grand Canyon's South Rim in time for final splendid viewpoints. By now, the magic of late afternoon shadows transforms the Canyon into a distant Shangri-La. It is also the best time for final photos and the most likely time for wildlife.
