Itinerary

Leave Phoenix and drive Salt River Indian Community which invites you to explore the small-town feel, big-city address with over 15 attractions, and many cultural points of interest throughout the Talking Stick Entertainment District. Start with a relaxing breakfast in the warm southwestern sun while taking in picturesque mountain views. Reconnect and rejuvenate in the country’s largest butterfly conservatory. A few minutes west are the USS Arizona Memorial Gardens at Salt River that honor the brave individuals that served aboard the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Salt River Indian Community received a large piece of the USS Arizona boat house and built the Gardens around it with over 1,500 columns representing each life stationed aboard the ship on December 7, 1941. 

Dive into the deep blue sea! Explore one of the largest underwater environments via SeaTrek, where you’ll be surrounded by thousands of colorful and curious marine life. Less than two miles away, adrenaline rush adventures and fun await you at Octane Raceway. This sleek modern facility houses electric karts that go up to 45MPH and shares patio space with Mavrix, home to augmented reality bowling, laser tag, and the Trophy Room Grill and Patio. Allow your imagination to take over as you explore dragon caves, pirate ships, and unicorns at Imagine 3D mini-golf, hand-painted murals pop under black light and come to life with 3D glasses at this family-owned business. Spend the afternoon exploring art installations around the Talking Stick Entertainment District and learn about the history and heritage of the Salt River Indian Community at the Huhugam Ki Museum. Make socializing a sport at Top Golf where you can enjoy chef-inspired dishes, a full-service bar, and play fun golf games for all skill levels, or head over to the Casino’s high-energy atmosphere with live casino gaming, outstanding food, and nightly entertainment.

Depart for Sedona, the Most Beautiful Place on Earth, this morning. Sedona makes the perfect getaway to reconnect with the people who matter the most. Sedona is equal parts playground and resort; equal parts wilderness and spiritual retreat. It is a place far removed from the everyday experience. The rising columns of red rocks form a fortress that repels stress and distraction. Time spent in Sedona is more than a vacation; it’s also a long-term investment in wellness. Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails promote physical activity and a closer connection with nature. Whether hiking in the shadow of soaring monoliths, strolling along the banks of Oak Creek, soaring over iconic rock formations of Sedona, such as Cathedral Rock, Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock on a helicopter, rumbling into the outback aboard a rugged jeep, or meditating at a vortex site crackling with ancient energy, let the adventure sweep you away. Do not forget to look up at the glittering blanket of stars at night while enjoying a glass of local wine on your hotel balcony. Sedona is one of the International Dark Sky communities

Start your day at one of Sedona’s Secret 7 vistas by photographing an inspiring sunrise. Sedona’s Secret 7 is a compilation of seven categories: hiking, biking, vistas, stargazing, picnics, arts and culture, and spiritual. Each category highlights seven secrets more known to locals. Explore the arts scene of Sedona by visiting many of its art galleries or checking out the displays of public arts. If you are more intrigued by Sedona’s vortex energies, a number of healing practitioners are ready to assist you on a spiritual quest. Dozens of spas offer treatments designed to restore harmony and health. Many restaurants serve delicious meals of locally sourced ingredients with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. With its cowboy-style steakhouses, spicy Southwestern, elegant Italian and everything in between, Sedona has emerged as a destination for fine food. A variety of grapes grow on lush hillsides producing fine Arizona wines. Days spent among the sprawling red rock beauty are a vacation for mind, body and soul. To explore the Verde Valley region by visiting wineries and tasting rooms, to enjoying a journey on a train ride, or strolling through America’s largest ghost town.

Driving north on 89A from Sedona, through awe-inspiring Oak Creek Canyon, you’ll begin to understand why Flagstaff is Arizona’s destination for ALL seasons. From red rock canyons to soaring peaks (Mt. Humphreys is 12,635 feet/3,852 meters), take time to explore our wide-open spaces. On your way to a local trail, visit downtown (rated “One of the Ten Most Charming Historic Downtowns in the USA”) to experience local hospitality at our restaurants, breweries, boutiques, galleries, and music venues. After a walking tour, spend the afternoon at the Museum of Northern Arizona, Riordan Mansion, or Pioneer Museum to learn about this place we call home - the Colorado Plateau. The pioneering history, Native American culture, and quest for the great outdoors makes Flagstaff a serene and nature-inspired destination. Hungry? With over 200 restaurants... from Route 66 diners, to a neighborhood Neapolitan wood-fired pizza place, to fine-dine restaurants... there’s something for everyone. But your evening isn’t over yet! Visit the 127-year old Lowell Observatory, the Home of Pluto, for stargazing. Honored as the First Dark Sky City in the world in 2001, Flagstaff’s nights offer clarity to view the entire solar system at 7,100 feet/2,164 meters. Nature should be sustainable, and dark sky preservation is at the forefront in creating experiences that last a lifetime.

Known as the “City of 7 Wonders”, Flagstaff is surrounded by 360 degrees of natural allure. Consider a day of forging memories by venturing out to one or more scenic wonders such as (1) Grand Canyon National Park (2) Wupatki National Monument (3) Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument (4) San Francisco Peaks (5) Coconino National Forest (6) Walnut Canyon National Monument, or, back to stunning (7) Oak Creek Canyon. All are within 90 minutes or less from downtown and each offers a unique experience and adventure. Ancient ruins and pueblos, mile-high canyons, the largest contiguous Ponderosa Pine forest in the world – all within reach. Pack a picnic lunch, rent a bike, or take a local tour. As Arizona’s “Craft Beer Town”, you may want to download the Craft Brewery Trail Passport and sip a few locally brewed IPAs or Golden Ales. Afterwards, take in a show at the historic Orpheum Theater, or listen to live music at a local gathering place. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be glad you visited!

This morning you will drive to Phoenix Airport and drop off the hire car where your tour concludes.
