Afisha Life | Full Day Awe Inspiring Grand Canyon Tour w/ Lunch from Flagstaff

1

Grand Canyon National Park

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the morning drive. The sunrise will be on the east side, so I suggest sitting on the passenger side for an unobstructed view of the morning sun.

2

Flintstone's Bedrock City

We will stop after an hour of driving here at Grand Canyon Junction. We'll visit a vintage pop culture cartoon landmark from the 1970's "Flintstone's Bedrock City" it's a charming experience of dreamers long gone! Stretch out and walk along the path of Prehistoric Times! A great place to take pictures and imagine all the creativity it took to build this one of a kind landmark!

3

Grand Canyon Visitor Center South Rim

This is the hub for park information, bike rentals, coffee, exhibits & historical artifacts, plus a gift shop.

4

Grand Canyon Village

Enjoy lunch or a snack!

5

Maricopa Point

The edge of the South Rim juts out over the canyon on this narrow point, extending northeast for about 100 feet (30 m) before dropping away vertically. The view from Maricopa encompasses over 180 degrees of Grand Canyon, with no significant obstructions between here and the canyon's depths. Several miles of the Tonto Trail are visible below and sharp eyes will spot the first tiny view of the Colorado River along the Hermit Road. History Maricopa Point is named for the Maricopa Indians who lived in south-central Arizona. They lived with the Pima Indians and were noted for their friendly approach to white pioneers. As you walk out onto this stunning vista, exhibit panels reveal the controversial mining history in the canyon from a spectacular viewpoint.

6

Grand Canyon National Park

This unnamed but locally called "Thor's Overlook" is an unsigned viewpoint along the Desert View drive that offers a quick place to stop and view the canyon and stretch one's legs. Take in the scenery and fresh air! Another great place for pictures!

7

Pipe Creek Vista

Pipe Creek Vista is the first pullout on the left as you head east toward Desert View on Desert View Drive (State Route 64 East). Because this is the first scenic overlook east of the junction with South Entrance Road, this area can become quite congested with vehicle traffic. If that is the case when you arrive, continue driving east to Duck on a Rock, or Twin Overlooks. Pipe Creek Vista is not the "biggest" view of the canyon, but the drainage stretching away from you is nicely framed. As you stand along the rim at this viewpoint, observe the canyon walls below as well—you might notice a forest of Douglas fir. This is an example of a micro-habitat fueled by water and cooler temperatures resulting from shade cast by the canyon cliffs. This, combined with the canyon's thermals, make it an excellent stop for birding, especially in the spring and fall during the major migrations.

Grand Canyon South Rim

Beautiful views and a great place to take pictures!

9

Lipan Point

Here the widest and most expansive canyon views along the South Rim, as well as the longest perspective of the Colorado River. This makes it an ideal spot to enjoy sunrise, sunset, and the night sky. On a clear day, you can see the Vermillion Cliffs 45 miles to the northeast and the curving river to the west as it enters the Inner Gorge of the canyon. This spacious panoramic view features many spires, buttes, and temple formations that resemble ancient pyramids. Westward views seem to stretch on forever, and the canyon walls present a tapestry of blacks, grays, reds, browns, and tans in a wide variety of rough and smooth textures. These unique rocks are exposed in just a few places within the canyon, and are visible at only a few viewpoints. Hidden among the titled layers and cradled by the river is Unkar Delta, where ancient Puebloan people once cultivated beans, corn, and squash.

10

Navajo Point

Just a few minutes west of Desert View on the Desert View Drive, Navajo Point offers a great view of Desert View Watchtower, as well as panoramic vistas to the west and a view north up the Colorado River. Watch for rafts on the Colorado River, winding far below the highest viewpoint on the South Rim at 7,461 feet (2,275 m).
