Fall Colors Tour to Flagstaff & Grand Canyon

Beautiful scenery, fall colors, great roads, and lots of time to socialize with your PCA friends at the 4-Diamond Little America Hotel in Flagstaff. Plus, a day trip to the Grand Canyon!

This third annual overnighter to Flagstaff will take a different route than the previous trips, with a stop at the Creekside Lodge near Mayer for lunch, then on a scenic route toward Camp Verde and catching the winding curves on Hwy 260 up the Mogollon Rim. Fall colors should be abundant as we pass by Mormon Lake on our way to Flagstaff. Our two-night stay in the beautiful forest setting at the Little America Hotel is an experience in itself. On Thursday we will drive to the Grand Canyon, where we'll take a break from the spectacular views for lunch at the Arizona Steakhouse, overlooking the Canyon at Bright Angel Lodge.

DAY 1
Lunch at the Creekside Lodge on Hwy 69 near Mayer. The Cellar at Creekside will offer a menu specially selected for our group. After lunch we will continue our drive, passing by Camp Verde onto AZ-260. The winding curves take us up the Mogollon Rim, where we'll continue on to Flagstaff by way of Mormon Lake and Lake Mary.

We will arrive at the Little America Hotel in the afternoon, and an impromptu happy hour is sure to happen! Plans for dinner will be on your own. The restaurant at Little America is a great option: Silver Pine Restaurant & Bar.

DAY 2
We will meet on Thursday morning to drive to the Grand Canyon, where you will be free to visit the spectacular viewpoints and explore historic Grand Canyon Village. Lunch is planned at the Arizona Steakhouse at Bright Angel Lodge, overlooking the canyon.

After our day at the canyon, we will return to Flagstaff and you will be on your own for dinner. There are lots of good options in Flagstaff. If you aren't up for going out after the day's activities, of course there's always the Silver Pine Restaurant at the hotel.

DAY 3
On Friday after breakfast you will be on your own to explore other sites in and around Flagstaff before returning home, or plan to stay over the weekend to enjoy even more the area has to offer.

Some beautiful drives featuring fall colors, socializing with your PCA friends, special lunches, and the grandest of all canyons. A grand tour for sure!
