Stunning Sights Await at the Grand Canyon with Adventures by Disney

I’ve had the travel bug in me since a young age and, thankfully, I’ve had a chance to fill quite a few pages in my passport over the years. But I have to admit that my wanderlust has left me a little lacking when it comes to exploring the incredible National Parks found right here in my own backyard of North America. Most notably, I feel remiss to say that I have never taken a Grand Canyon tour. This is one of America’s most legendary landmarks, and on an Adventures by Disney Arizona and Utah vacation you can see firsthand why this national landmark is one of the seven wonders of the natural world.

I think that soaking in the majesty of the Grand Canyon is truly a rite of passage that every person should experience. And that’s why this Adventures by Disney destination is so high on my “must do” list (and why I’ll be taking my own son on this trip someday).

I think the main reason I’ve never been to Grand Canyon National Park is that it’s not exactly located in the middle of a major city (which also is a huge part of what makes it so appealing) and, therefore, it’s never seemed easily accessible. It’s not a place you can just “swing by” and check out on your way to your next destination. Nor would you want to. And that’s what makes the Adventures by Disney Arizona and Utah vacation so special – you’re not simply going on a brief Grand Canyon tour that’s mostly travel time with just a little bit of sightseeing thrown in. No, you actually get to spend two nights in the park itself, where you’ll be constantly surrounded by picturesque views.

Here you’ll watch the sun set (and rise if you can make it out of bed in time), chow down on a delicious Western BBQ dinner complete with a noteworthy view, delight in an exclusive a Native American dance performance and so much more. Enjoy a private expedition, complete with a naturalist guide, as you drive and walk along the notable South Rim and discover the wonder and mystery that this landmark has to offer.

And, the Grand Canyon is just part of this journey through the great Southwest. You’ll also explore other breathtaking, “bucket list” worthy in their own right, destinations, including Sedona, Monument Valley, Arches National Park and more.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said “If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.” And I can’t think of any better way to see the wonders of the world than with Adventures by Disney.
