What To Expect:
Flagstaff
We pause in Flagstaff at Kickstand Kafe to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and grab a to-go lunch to be enjoyed later while overlooking The Grand Canyon. The drive from Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Drive (Rte. 89A) spans 24 miles between Flagstaff and Sedona. This breathtaking road descends 4,500 feet from the top of the Mogollon Rim, winding through sandstone canyons and rock formations around every curve.
Grand Canyon National Park:
A 90-minute drive takes us from Flagstaff’s Kickstand Cafe to the Grand Canyon, a natural wonder unlike anything on earth.
Hopi House:
Modeled after the 1000-year-old pueblo dwellings of the Hopi Village in Old Orabi, Hopi House offers authentic American Indian crafts. Built in 1904 as concessioner facilities at the South Rim were being developed, it was the first of eight projects at the Grand Canyon designed by architect Mary Colter. Hopi House, constructed by the Fred Harvey Company, serves as a market for Native American crafts, showcasing the artistry of Hopi artisans.
Kolb Studio:
Perched on the edge of the South Rim, Kolb Studio operated from 1904 to 1976 as the photographic studio of Ellsworth and Emery Kolb. Beyond its appearance as an old house, the studio holds a rich history of adventure, exploration, family love, and remarkable Grand Canyon photography.
Mather Point:
Mather Point stands as the most popular viewpoint on the South Rim, offering a jaw-dropping view of the Grand Canyon. A short walk from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, it provides an expansive vista of the canyon, allowing clear views up to 30+ miles to the east and 60+ miles to the west. On a clear day, visitors can spot the Colorado River, Phantom Ranch, and numerous crisscrossing trails.
Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower:
Constructed in 1932, the Desert View Watchtower was designed by Mary Colter, known as “The Architect of the Southwest.” Positioned near the eastern edge of Grand Canyon National Park, the 70-foot-tall circular stone structure offers panoramic views and is a testament to Colter’s influence on the region’s architecture.
Yavapai Point:
Yavapai Point, a panoramic viewpoint along the South Rim, provides exceptional views of canyon ridges and the Colorado River. The Yavapai Geology Museum at this location offers a comprehensive overview of Grand Canyon geology, with annotated displays guiding visitors through the layers of rocks and the geologic history recorded in them.
Lipan Point:
Moran Point, a popular spot on the South Rim, offers extensive views into the canyon, making it an ideal location for group photos. Along with Desert View, Grandview, and Yaki, Moran is one of the most visited points on the east rim drive, offering far-reaching views along a wide section of the Grand Canyon.
Experience the awe-inspiring beauty and geological wonders of the Grand Canyon through these diverse and captivating points, each adding a unique dimension to your journey.
