Trip Info
Explore the Natural Wonders of the Grand Canyon and Sedona
This adventure hits the highlights of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Grand Canyon National Park, and the beautiful red rock country of Sedona. Explore the “giant hole in the ground,” descend into deep canyons, and admire the vast redrock towers, spires and energy vortexes!
Your nights are spent in relative luxury as you glamp in canvas tents under the stars and end your stay in a luxury hotel.
This tour was super informative and enjoyable for me and my family! Our guide worked with us from the start to find short hikes and great locations to explore in the park! The day was packed but it had a great flow to it with a lovely picnic lunch to break things up. We learned a lot and could tell our guide had a lot of knowledge and respect for the park! Looking to book a trip with the company up in Yellowstone when we visit next year!
Weather
The best times of year to hike in the deserts of Arizona are during early Spring from late February to May, and the fall months of September through to early November. The summer months can be oppressively hot and not ideal for hiking. Daytime temperatures in spring and fall are usually from 60° to 80°F (16°-27°C) and nights are cool. In the early fall you should be prepared for the odd afternoon thunderstorm.
Group
Good Trippers can be any age but most of our travelers are in their 30s – 50s.
We get families, couples and friends, but most of our travelers come solo! We have guided hiking trips for all abilities, just make sure to review the Intensity section for information about what to expect on your trip.
All public trips are 18+. If you’re traveling with kids, we’d be happy to make any itinerary private! Email info@goodtripadventures.com.
Intensity – Moderate
Expect to spend 3-8 hours walking or hiking over the course of the day (there will be elevation change, especially in the Grand Canyon) while carrying daypacks with water and snacks! Suitable for most fit people with a bit of hiking experience.
Accommodations

Experience the Best of Arizona with Good Trip Adventures
Day 1
Your hiking guide will meet you at Phoenix International Airport where you’ll meet your guides. You and your group will enjoy a quick lunch in town before making your way to Red Rock Country – Sedona. Settle into your hotel before taking an evening warm up hike amongst buttes, towers, spires and more!
In the evening you’ll have a welcome dinner in town to discuss the big days ahead. Be sure to take a peek at the desert sunset sky painted in picturesque colors.
Meals: L, D
Day 2
Enjoy a quick breakfast in town before gaining another Sedona hike experience. Take in the never-ending red rock views as you learn about the ancient Ananazi people, and maybe experience some Sedona vortex energy! After lunch, gear up for a two hour drive north to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
Upon arrival you’ll settle into your glamping accomodations – your home for the next two nights. Watch the sun set behind the canyon walls, and enjoy dinner around the campfire, not complete without s’mores!
Meals: L, D
Day 3
Today calls for an early start! You’ll spend the entire day hiking the trail down into the Grand Canyon. Your guides will take you off the beaten path for never ending sights, mesa views, and more. Learn about how the canyon was formed, the park’s flora and fauna, park history, and indigenous people. But keep in mind that what goes down must come up! This is a moderately difficult/ strenuous hike that does require significant elevation gain. Breaks will be taken to ensure safety and accommodate various hiking levels.
In the evening you’ll be rewarded with views at Desert View Tower and a scrumptious meal back at camp. Make sure to enjoy the star-filled sky above you before bed!
Meals: L, D
Day 4
After packing up at your glamping site and a leisurely breakfast, you’ll say your goodbyes to the southwest desert (or until next times) as you are transferred back to the Phoenix airport for your departing flight.
Meals: B, L, D
