In the morning, your tour guide will come pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Petrified Forest National Park. This park is known for its large deposits of petrified wood.

Following Petrified Forest National Park, we’ll eat a quick lunch and then depart for Meteor Crater. Meteor Crater is a 550 feet deep, 1 mile wide hole that was created from the impact of a meteorite that occurred more than 50,000 years ago. While looking out over the crater from the rim, you’ll be able to imagine the scale of this impact and its effects on the local landscape.

Next, we’ll drive south towards Sedona, Arizona. Nestled amongst towering red cliffs, Sedona is the perfect place to relax and see the sunset. We’ll start by exploring the local landscape and hiking some of the beautiful trails outside of Sedona. Afterwards, we’ll return into Sedona and check out some of the beautiful architecture that the town has to offer, such as the Chapel of the Holy Cross, built into the surrounding rock itself. As the sun sets, we’ll eat dinner at one of the incredible eateries in town, reminiscing about what a perfect day it has been.

We’ll also explore the remnants of Fruita, a small town established in the 1880s.

Thereafter, we’ll depart for Goblin Valley, driving along the San Rafael Swell.
