Best of Arizona Self-Drive
Take a 1200-mile drive around the American southwest, calling at some of the USA’s most famous scenic landmarks on an adventure you’ll remember forever.
The Grand Canyon State may be the setting of the most famous natural attraction but it’s so much more than its nickname suggests. During this 12-night self-drive, Arizona’s cowboy culture, indigenous history, in-vogue cities, Route 66 kitsch and Nat Geo-worthy views will get under your skin.

Las Vegas
Round-the-clock fun
Begin your jouney in the glittering city of Las Vegas. Wander through buzzing casinos, visit iconic hotels on the strip and discover some more niche attractions such as the Neon Museum. You could also get a taste of what’s ahead with a helicopter trip to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. Stay two nights.
The Grand Canyon
Monumental wonders
A vast wonderland that’ll stop you in your tracks with its scale, The Grand Canyon has to be seen to be believed. How you explore it is up to you. Hike the Bright Angel Trail or head down to the Colorado River on a raft ride to get a sense of the size from the bottom up. You could even take a helicopter flight to appreciate it from above.

Otherworldly landscapes
Take a hike through the sweeping red rock formations of the Antelope Canyon slot canyons, visit an ethereal sandstone formation known as The Wave, and the iconic landmark Horseshoe Bend in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area where the Colorado River carves a loop.
Monument Valley
Navajo country
Kissing the Utah border, crimson mesas and sandstone buttes characterise this incredible desert landscape. Drive the 17-mile Valley Drive or learn about the Navajo Nation traditions. If you want to explore on foot, try The Wildcat Trail, a four-mile loop around Mitten Butte, an icon of the American West.
Flagstaff
On Route 66
Dip back into city life and follow a trail of a different kind – the Flagstaff Brewery Trail. Although if you’re not a craft beer drinker, there are plenty of other options. Gaze skywards at the Lowell Observatory or take a gondola to see the views from the Arizona Snowbowl. You can go underground, too, venturing inside a mile-long lava tube.
Sedona
Energy and enlightenment
It takes less than an hour to drive from Flagstaff to Sedona, a place regarded as sacred by Native Americans. You can visit one of the energy vortexes to experience the swirling centres of energy that come from the earth, where many people choose to practice yoga or meditation.
Tucson
The soul of the Sonoran Desert
From Flagstaff, drive through Phoenix to visit Tucson, a town just 70 miles from the Mexico border. Arizona’s second-largest city is known for its excellent food and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, but there’s much to explore in the wider area, from the cacti-studded Saguaro National Park to the isolated mountain ranges known as Sky Islands.
Scottsdale
And relax
East of Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale has the lion’s share of plush resorts, providing the perfect way to end your adventure with decadent downtime. If you want a last hurrah, there’s plenty more adventure of the rafting, biking, and hiking variety to be had in the Sonoran Desert, then settle down and enjoy a technicolour sunset on your last night in Arizona.
