Days 11-14 - Grand Canyon, Phoenix, and London
Today we visit the Grand Canyon by rail, boarding the Grand
Canyon Railroad for a scenic journey to the South Rim. We travel in
vintage carriages hauled by historic locomotives to one of the most
scenic areas of the Grand Canyon, where we can see for miles across
this outstanding natural wonder (weather permitting). Later, we
transfer to our hotel, Maswik Lodge.
We board the heritage Verde Canyon Railway on Day
12 for a round trip in refurbished carriages that date
back to 1912. Take in the breathtaking scenery of towering red rock
formations, and steep ravines, home to a menagerie of wildlife
including snakes, mule deer, and even mountain lions. Later, we
drive to Phoenix.
After a free morning on Day 13, we transfer to
the airport for our overnight flight back to London Heathrow,
arriving on Day 14.
