I totally loved this trip. I was hiking in Sedona and it was a perfect way to give my legs a day of rest. The car journey is a bit long, however our guide was great and entertained us with lots of stories, history data, so it was not boring at all. The horse shoe bend was a bit disappointing, very crowded; but the canyon was great. It's a lot of things squeezed into one trip which makes it very worth taking. The lunch was nice, we could choose between burgers, salad, and something else; on the way back there was 20-30 min stop for shopping, and we were back around 6 pm.
