Sedona Sky Ranch Lodge
Arizona: Grand Canyon & Sedona Adventure
From Sedona to the Grand Canyon, one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, Arizona’s scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Trek deep into the Grand Canyon to an overlook at Ooh Aah Point before descending 1,200 feet through 40 million years of geological history to Cedar Ridge. Climb Red Butte for 360-degree views of Grand Canyon National Park. Hike Bright Angel Trail along shady creek beds, keeping an eye out for big horn sheep. Explore the pueblos, field houses, rock art and pottery of the Wupatki ruins, once home to prehistoric Anasazi and Sinagua farmers and traders. By night, savor a festive dinner at a local hot spot or a home cooked meal and toasted s’mores around the fire before calling it a night in the comfort of your lodge or luxury campsite.
