TOUR DETAILS
Slow down while enjoying the fresh, high desert air and canyon vistas during a walk along the Grand Canyon rim. As you explore, your Pink Adventure Tour guide will suggest the best places on the Trail of Time to photograph breathtaking vistas and capture views of the ever-changing scenes. Your guide will teach you how to identify local plant species, fossils and wildlife. This is an exclusive experience that you can’t find anywhere else.
A relatively new feature at the South Rim is the Trail of Time. You’ll stroll along this paved pathway between Yavapai Point and Grand Canyon Village. Read the corresponding exhibits to gain a new perspective on the age of the Grand Canyon and the forces that created it. Hands-on displays allow you to feel the texture of rocks as old as 1.7 billion years. Your guide will explain the “birthdays” of rocks in the canyon’s layers and how to identify details like algal reefs and mud cracks as you peer into the canyon through scopes. Total distance of this walk is 3 miles.
Stop into the Yavapai Geology Museum for even more geologic education with films, artwork and 3D models. You’ll survey the canyon through panoramic windows while your Certified Interpretive Guide simplifies the details with anecdotes and humor that bring the past to life.
The Trail of Time ends at Grand Canyon Village where you can experience the area’s human history. You’ll see architecturally significant places like El Tovar, which was once considered the most luxurious hotel west of the Mississippi. Hopi House was the first building by Mary Coulter, an influential and skilled Southwest architect. See artifacts and shop for keepsakes or artwork before making the drive back in our Pink® Jeep® Wrangler.
In addition to park admissions fees, your tour includes a viewing of Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets. This popular IMAX movie features stunning aerial footage of inaccessible places deep below the rim. You’ll also hear stories about the explorers and native peoples of yesteryear.
