sedona to Grand canyon

I am planning on driving from Sedona to Grand Canyon in February. Can anyone give me a step by step driving directions and what I will see on the way to the GC? Where to go once you enter the GC? Best layout to see the most out of the GC? How do we get back. Do we back track or is there a more scenic drive back?

Hi Chellae and welcome to the forum.

Leave Sedona via scenic 89A. First stop maybe Slide Rock SP, then north to Oak Creek Canyon (must stop). Drive further on 89 and hit I17 at it%26#39;s first connection. Follow the signs for Los Angeles. You%26#39;re on I40 now. Drive to Williams and follow the signs for Grand Canyon National Park. Maybe visit Williams and have a cup of coffee along old R66. Take az64 all the way to the south entrance of GCNP.(In Valle, halfway Williams-GCNP is Bedrock City, dedicated to the Flintstones, what else?) Pay your fee. Continue on the road and follow the signs for GC Village. I won%26#39;t give you a layout for GCNP. See www.nps.gov/grca. My suggestion is to stop at the first overlook at Mather Point. Park your car and a very short walk to the rim. Try to stay in one of the rim hotels.

On your return, drive from Grand Canyon Village same road back (you%26#39;ll have to drive a short one way loop before, you%26#39;ll see)). Then take the turn off to your left to Desert View Drive. See the various

outlookpoint along the east rim all the way to the Watchtower at Desert View. Maybe visit Tusayan ruins before you reach Desert View. Leave GCNP by it%26#39;s east entrance and visit Cameron Trading Post. Shop, hotel and restaurant. Continue south on us89 till the exit on your left to Wupatki NP. Between Wupatki and Sunset Crater maybe stop and take photo%26#39;s of Painted Desert. Visit Sunset Crater Volcano NM, drive to Flagstaff, see Museum of Northern AZ and down town Flagstaff and drive back to Sedona same way you came.

Hope this helps some.

I ordered a map of the Grand Canyon/ Williams area from Discoverymap.com. It%26#39;s an interactive map. It%26#39;s pretty neat. You can go online and view it. They have one for Sedona also.
