This is one of the most surreal views you will ever see. You will feel as though you are walking on another planet when you visit one of Arizona’s longest best kept secrets. During this tour, we will discuss the many interesting theories of how the wood came to be petrified, as well as the amazing exposed strata of the painted desert known as the Chinle Formation (which is only exposed in this region in Arizona). We will also go over the rich native history in the area, as we walk amongst the ancient Hopi and Navajo lands, and in their ancient ruins.
We start our day in Sedona but can pick up along the way to the park, like Flagstaff, or Winslow, or Holbrook! (price is discounted for Winslow or Holbrook, as our office is based further in Sedona, if starting the tour closer to the park.)
We offer an extended ULTIMATE tour option upon check out, it includes a visit to Americas first National Monument and heritage site. Before visiting the Petrified Forest National Park, we adventure through Walnut Canyon National Monument (another fantastic view to take in!) which is full of some of the best preserved Native American cliff dwellings in the America. We will explore the dwellings alongside the canyon the same way they did. This includes SEVERAL FLIGHTS OF STAIRS we have to navigate (10 SETS IN TOTAL). We give ourselves about an 1.5 hours to walk through the canyon.
Next on the drive is the town of Holbrook, where Route 66 is still alive and well! This is where we will take a 1 hour lunch at the iconic 50’s themed dinners. Afterwards is a short drive to the South gate of the park. The length of the tour is 9-11 hours from start to finish, with 3-4 hours of adventuring within the Petrified Forest National Park. With 2.5 hours of travel between Sedona and the Park.
We offer pick up anywhere in Sedona, Village of Oak Creek, Flagstaff or along the way to the park, or a local pick up option in Cultural Park in Sedona.

Thanks again Connor.Rhonda Anderson2023-12-08Connor was a wealth of knowledge and showed us several places on the Vortex tour that we would not have otherwise known about or seen. He was warm and friendly.Mandy Elliott2023-11-27We recently enjoyed the Ultimate Grand Canyon private tour with Connor. It was an amazing day as we experienced varied topography and weather, including the first snowfall at the Grand Canyon! It made for a long day, but was well worth the time, effort, and expense. Connor was a wonderful guide and demonstrated his vast knowledge of the geology, history and cultural aspects of the area. It was definitely a day to remember. Thank you Connor!Joan Kaiser2023-11-18Very pleased with the tour. Exceptionally knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed it very much.Boris Mednikov2023-11-15Great tour. Conner tailored it exactly to our feeling about vortices. It was very informative, relaxing and fun. As a guide, Conner is one of the best we had in a while.Carla Howe2023-11-12We had an incredible tour of Sedona and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an afternoon experience of sights and information! Couldn't be happier with what we experienced and learned!Deborah Honen2023-10-26Connor shared his vast wealth of knowledge as well as his love of nature and his own wonder at the Grand Canyon even though he visits constantly. The drive flys by and I recommend asking lots and lots of questions and see what rabbit holes the conversation takes you. Dates, stories, geology, nature, plants, lifestyle, local culture you will get a feel for it all. I can’t imagine having gone to the Grand Canyon without Connor. The extra views and information you get makes the tour worthwhile and you get far more than you would on your own. Wonderful experience and worth the money. Great and memorable day. Thanks Connor!Wanda Weinreich2023-10-24We had an amazing time on this tour with Connor. He really knows the area and has a wealth of information covering all kinds of topics. He gave us the time we needed to enjoy the scenery and the spiritual aspect of this beautiful place. Highly recommend taking this tour with Connor. You’ll have a wonderful time. Misty and Wanda
