Petrified Forest Ultimate Adventure Private Tour in Arizona

Petrified Forest Ultimate Adventure Private Tour in Arizona

Overview

This is one of the most surreal views you will ever see. During this tour, we will discuss the many interesting theories of how the wood came to be petrified, as well as the amazing exposed strata of the painted desert known as the Chinle Formation. We will also go over the rich native history in the area, as we walk amongst the ancient lands

We start our Day in Sedona and travel within Oak Creek Canyon and pass
through Flagstaff driving i-40 (we offer pick up here as well). Before visiting the the park, we will adventure through Walnut Canyon National Monument (another fantastic view to take in!) which is full of some of the best preserved Native cliff dwellings in the southwest. We will explore the dwellings alongside the canyon the same way they did. This includes SEVERAL FLIGHTS OF STAIRS we have to navigate (10 SETS IN TOTAL).

Next on the drive is the town of Holbrook, where Route 66 is still alive and well! This is where we will take lunch at the iconic 50's themed dinners.

We spent two full days with Connor exploring the petrified forest, the painted desert and the south rim of the Grand Canyon with stops along the way at sights not normally visited by the masses. The car was very comfortable and the conversations enlightening, educational and entertaining. Connor was enthusiastic about the subjects of discussion and he was extremely knowledgeable about the history, geology and archaeology of all the sights and places in between. We whole heartedly and highly recommend Connor as a tour quide extraordinaire.

Outstanding tour of Walnut Creek Canyon and the Petrified Forest. Our guide, Connor, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as its geography and geology. His enthusiasm and love for the area were on full display during the entire tour. It was a fascinating day with an excellent guide.
