The Grand Canyon Tour from Williams, AZ
So what if the Grand Canyon is just an hour or so away from Williams, Arizona – you want someone else to do the driving and plan a great day of touring for you. Solution to your dilemma: Grand Canyon Store's Grand Canyon Tour!
This scenic adventure is tailor-made for visitors staying in Williams. Upon pickup at your hotel or other designated location, you'll make your way to the park, stopping first at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. After dropping your traveling companions off for a short helicopter flight (which, by the way, you can upgrade to as well!), you'll learn about the history of aviation at the Grand Canyon and how a multi-million dollar industry was born. From there, you'll head to the National Geographic IMAX Theater complex.
Next, you'll be rejoined by the flying contingent of your tour group and sit down together to enjoy the fantastic IMAX presentation "Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets." In just 40 minutes, you'll walk with the Ancestral Puebloans on the banks of the Colorado, and run the rapids with Major John Wesley Powell. After the movie, you'll have lunch.
After lunch, it's time to see what you've been waiting for - Grand Canyon National Park! At your first stop, historic Yavapai Point and Museum, you'll learn about the multifaceted geologic history of the Grand Canyon and how it came to be. Peer all the way down to the Colorado River from panoramic windows. Get a hands-on – or more appropriately, foots-on! – perspective of the Grand Canyon's geology as you walk the award-winning Trail of Time display.
At Grand Canyon Village, even "grander" views await you! Stroll the paved rimside trail at Grand Canyon Village, where you'll view National Historic Landmarks, some over 100 years old. Buildings designed by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, one of America's first prominent woman architects, are abundant in this area. Here you'll have time to relax with a beverage while taking in the view, or shop for mementos of your visit before heading back to Williams.
Tour length is 8-9 hours depending on season. Available year-round. Tour price includes taxes, park entrance fees, IMAX tickets, lunch, bottled water and Gatorade. Group sizes are kept small for a more personalized experience, so we encourage you to make your reservations well in advance.
