What You Will Do
Hosted by local owner opereror Dynamic Journey Tours.
For those that are seeking a more genuine tour (max 8 person group), with a locally based tour company, the day is designed to focus solely on the Grand Canyon, along the way up we drive within the glorious Oak Creek Canyon, passing through Flagstaff while sharing geology and history info the entire way. We then stop for lunch at Cameron Trading post within the historic Dine' (Navajo) reservation then enter first into the East Gate. We then visit 4 points of interests along the canyon and learn the geology, geography, and history/mystery of the Natives and settlers, finally exiting the park at the South Gate. It's biggest advantage is a local guide that has studied all the relevant subjects, making the tour as comprehensive as possible and visiting more sites than most other tours, thus having the most amount of experience one could have while visiting the Grand Canyon! (8:30am-6pm).
