Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Established in 1916, Cameron Trading Post offers one stop for shopping, dining, resting and fueling. Enjoy perusing our large gift shop with everything from t-shirts and trinkets to fine Native American jewelry, pottery, basketry and more. Visit our gallery for a step back in time to see some of the finest Native American Art in the Southwest. Relax in one of our Southwest designed rooms while visiting the area and don't miss a stroll through our garden oasis.

Stop 2

This horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River is just a short hike from the beginning of Grand Canyon National Park. The overlook point, which can be accessed via the town of Page, is particularly popular during sunset when the landscape is at its most vibrant, and the iconic turquoise bend glows against the orange cliffs. Although the desert hike is relatively easy, you won’t encounter much shade, so be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. To maximize your time here, join a tour that includes other picturesque sights like Glen Canyon Dam and Antelope Canyon.

Stop 3

Lower Antelope Canyon—also known by its Navajo name Hazdistazí (“spiral rock arches”)—is a spectacular slot canyon on Navajo Nation land, just east of Page, Arizona. It’s renowned for its tight, twisting corridors carved from Navajo sandstone by flash floods and wind over millions of years.

The dam is a concrete-arch style structure that rises 710 feet from its foundation and contains a volume of 4,901,000 cubic yards of concrete. At the time of its construction, Glen Canyon Dam was the second-highest dam in the Western Hemisphere, after the 726-foot Hoover Dam.

Stop 5 Pass by

The San Francisco Peaks are a prominent mountain range in northern Arizona, north of Flagstaff, known for their unique geological history and cultural significance. They are the remains of a larger, once-erupting volcano called San Francisco Mountain, which has since been eroded to create the "Inner Basin". The peaks are composed of three summits, Humphreys Peak (the highest point in Arizona), Agassiz Peak, and Fremont Peak. The area is also home to the only alpine tundra environment in Arizona, a 1,200-acre area above 10,600 feet.
