Las Vegas & The West- Grand Canyon & Arizona

Grand Canyon & Arizona

World-class natural wonders & outdoor adventure
In Arizona have your breath taken away by Mother Nature, drive across the desert on Historic Route 66, perfect your golf game, hike amidst red rocks, ponderosa pines and pristine lakes, and browse designer outlets.
Arizona’ s top attraction is the UNESCO World Heritage listed Grand Canyon. Its vast sun-carved landscape of layered red and gold cliffs stretch for miles along the Colorado River. Whether you hike or bike along one of the trails, ride the shuttle along the South Rim or simply stand at an overlook, the scale and silence create a sense of awe that’ s hard to match.
The modern city of Phoenix brags unique museums, award-winning dining, pro sports, live music, craft brews and cocktail culture. Neighbouring Scottsdale bursts with five star resorts, indulgent spas and superb golf courses, plus its vibrant Old Town blends urban chic and Old West charm. Tucson is famed for its Spanish-style architecture, Mexican culture and a culinary scene that earned it the title of UNESCO’ s first City of Gastronomy. It also wows with a desert landscape and iconic saguaro cacti.
Located along historic Route 66, the four-season mountain town of Flagstaff is a place for outdoor adventures, celestial observations and raising a glass along the Flagstaff Ale Trail. Midway between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon is Williams, which lies in the heart of the Kaibab National Forest. Its six block Historic Downtown District has shops bursting with Route 66 memorabilia, while rail enthusiasts can ride the Grand Canyon Railway through high-desert grasslands and pine forests to the Grand Canyon.
Swathed by towering red rock formations that glow at sunrise and sunset, the high desert town of Sedona is a popular place for outdoor escapades. Its town brims with art galleries, local cafés and craft shops along with spas and yoga retreats for those seeking relaxation or spiritual connection.
See also scenic Lake Powell, Canyon de Chelly, Antelope Canyon, Saguaro National Monument, and, to relive the days of Wyatt Earp and gunfights at the OK Corral, head to the Old West town of Tombstone.
