About This Tour

Discover the rugged beauty and unique character of the northern countryside of Arizona. Your tour begins in sunny Scottsdale, the city that prides itself as "The West’s Most Western Town." On a city tour, see bustling downtown Phoenix, Camelback Mountain, Paradise Valley, and Old Town Scottsdale. If you're not afraid of a little spice, join your fellow travelers for a "Great Chili Cook-Off" and savor the unique ingredients of the region. On a vintage train ride from Clarkdale to Perkinsville, glide past the towering, crimson cliffs and ancient Indian ruins of the breathtaking Verde Canyon, accessible only by rail. Then, fall under the spell of Sedona with its bold natural beauty, colorful canyons, and spectacular sandstone towers. You'll have plenty of leisure time to explore this unique city on your own. Browse the eclectic shops for traditional jewelry, wander through the many art galleries, and try some of the fantastic local restaurants. Perhaps the only sight that could rival the gorgeous rock formations and fiery sunsets of Sedona is the mighty Grand Canyon, which you'll see on a drive along the South Rim. Cap off your tour of the wild West with an unforgettable evening of traditional cowboy food and entertainment.
