In Sedona, marvel at stunning red-rock formations like Cathedral Rock and Coffee Pot Rock, set within a one-of-a-kind geological landscape.

This trip was great for seeing many different places in a relatively short amount of time. Highly recommend for people who want to see multiple national parks in one trip but don't want to deal with all the planning behind it.
Charlie made this trip so memorable. He remained in good spirits throughout, had extensive local knowledge and was an excellent driver and felt very safe on the long and winding roads

The national parks were absolutely fantastic and G Adventures let us see far more of them than we would’ve managed on our own. We are very pleased in our choice of tour but maybe wouldn’t have bothered with the last stretch from San Fran to LA with hind sight.

Overall the tour was great! Erik, our tour director, was very knowledgeable and charismatic. We were a bit disappointed in the Carmel stop. An hour and a half at a shopping area was not what we anticipated for our time in Carmel.
