Day 1
Phoenix to Grand Canyon.
Depart from the Phoenix-Scottsdale area in the morning and make a first stop in Williams, AZ. Explore the quaint Route 66 town, from its mom and pop shops, to its diner which is home to Arizona’s best slice of pie, Williams is always a delight. Following our time in Williams, we continue onto the Canyon. Take in the magnificent views, a seemingly endless openness that transforms magnificently as you walk along the rim. Check into your hotel and spend the rest of the day on your own overlooking the incredible natural spectacle.
