TWO-DAY GRAND CANYON SOUTH RIM OVERNIGHT TOUR FROM TUCSON - ELITE TOUR

Take in unforgettable views of classic southwestern landscapes. This overnight tour of the South Rim spends significant time in Grand Canyon National Park and some time on Route 66. The Grand Canyon South Rim Overnight Tour leaves from the Tucson area between 6:00am and 7:00am the first day and returns between 7:00pm and 8:00pm the following day.

This expert guided tour of the South Rim hits all the best things to do at the Grand Canyon to make sure you see all the best sights and attractions on the rim.

Day 1:

After departing the Tucson metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. As we continue further into Northern Arizona, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff and from the highway, see the San Francisco Peaks among the seemingly endless Ponderosa Pine Forest, the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pines in the world. 

You’ll experience several hours that day within the National Park as well as several more hours the next day marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. Don’t forget to visit the historic El Tovar Lodge and Hopi House in Grand Canyon Village. While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or enjoy your lunch and relax with the best seat in the house.

Day 2:

During the morning hours, you will have ample time on your own to relax, take sunrise photographs overlooking the Grand Canyon, or even do a morning hike. At approximately 1:00pm, your guide will greet you at the front lobby of your Grand Canyon hotel to set out back to Tucson.

This 2-day overnight tour will take you to some of the most spectacular vistas of the Grand Canyon you will ever see. Plus, there will be opportunities to stop and soak in the grandeur. Words and photos alone pale in comparison to the breathtaking experience of seeing the Grand Canyon in person.
