horseshoe bend grand canyon south rim tour

It was going to be a long day of driving and for the first half, very lonely.

And now that I’ve seen some of the National Parks in Arizona, I’d absolutely love to come and spend some more time in other USA National Parks.Īt 2am I woke with the girls at Marble Canyon Lodge and we drove the 2 remaining hours to reach the North Rim trailhead.Īfter waving them off and saying a few prayers for their safety, I began my 6 hour drive around to meet them at the South Rim (the tourist side where most people head to view the canyon). In Cali, I loved spending some extra time in San Francisco and really getting to know the area. I absolutely loved this Arizona road trip, and have since taken on USA road trips through California and to Burning Man. Here, things took a turn, stopping us from heading to Las Vegas in Nevada… keep reading for a plot twist that changed how I drive forever! The views of the Antelope Canyons and Horseshoe Bend rivalled those of the famous Grand Canyon. We then headed through the small town of Flagstaff towards Page. This was the first time I was to uncover America as the outdoor adventurer and fully fledged adult that I am today and I was ever so excited to explore new lands and all the best places to visit in Arizona.Īs we drove through Arizona, I got to see the likes of the bustling capital Phoenix, the quaint desert town of Scottsdale and, of course, Sedona. Embarking on this epic US Arizona road trip was my first taste of America (bar the time that, as a Mickey and Minnie obsessed 5 year old with my brother and parents, I visited Disney).
