Tour Details

Slow down and enjoy the high-desert fresh air and canyon vistas while walking the Grand Canyon's Trail of Time. This two-mile, paved pathway stretches between Yavapai Point and Grand Canyon Village and traces the canyon's geological timeline along several viewpoints.

Ride the South Rim in an iconic, open-air Jeep® Wrangler to the Yavapai Geology Museum, where you will get a first look at the geological layers that make up the Grand Canyon. Explore exhibits and take in some of the best panoramic views of the canyon from Yavapai Point, the South Rim's northernmost overlook.

Before you embark on the Trail of Time walk, your Pink Adventure guide will suggest the best places to photograph breathtaking vistas and capture the ever-changing scenery. This is an exclusive guided experience that you can’t find anywhere else.

As you stroll the paved pathway from Yavapai Point to Grand Canyon Village, stop to read the various exhibits about the forces that created the Grand Canyon. Feel the texture of 1.7 billion-year-old rocks at the hands-on displays. Peer through scopes while your guide explains the “birthdays” of the rock layers that stack the canyon walls.

The Trail of Time ends at Grand Canyon Village where you will have free time to explore historical architecture and learn about the development of Grand Canyon National Park. Visit the famous El Tovar Hotel, once considered the most luxurious hotel west of the Mississippi. Tour the Hopi House designed by Mary Coulter, an influential and skilled Southwest architect.

Your guide will share stories about ancient cultures, early pioneers, artists and writers who made the Canyon famous. Shop for keepsakes, authentic souvenirs and hand-made works by Native American artisans.

In addition to park admissions fees, your tour includes a free ticket to the newly released MAX® Movie, "Grand Canyon: Rivers of Time." The geological formation of the Canyon is showcased through super-high-resolution time-lapsed photography and CGI animation, while the fascinating story of early civilizations and adventurous explorers is brought to life on the giant screen. As the rivers of time unfold, you'll witness the unveiling of the first photographs ever taken in the Grand Canyon (circa 1872).

Park admission is for tour only. Re-entry to the Grand Canyon National Park requires the purchase of a park pass.
