Scenic Route 64 travels between the East Entrance and Grand Canyon Village, following alongside the Rim for about 25 miles. This is a lovely scenic drive with many stunning viewpoints to stop and enjoy including Desert View, Navajo Point, Lipan Point, Moran Point, Grandview Point and Duck on a Rock. The stunning climax of the drive is the Desert View Watchtower. A very worthwhile cultural stop and opportunity to learn more about Ancestral Puebloans is available at the Tusayan Museum and Ruins.

    We didn’t have a lot of time for the Grand Canyon, so we chose this self-guided tour to visit on our own schedule. The stories about the Canyon and its history were very interesting and the guide is entertaining. We will be looking for more of these as we continue on our road trip!

    This was our second GuideAlong self-guided tour. These tours are excellent! We were able to go at our own pace and stop at what we wanted to see. The commentary was informative and entertaining. We highly recommend these self-guided tours and will use them again.

    The audio guide was easy to use and we really enjoyed that it started and stopped according to our location. The additional information/stories given were very informative and entertaining, especially during the less interesting parts of the drive. It was like having a guide in the car with us! Would definitely recommend and use this service again.

  • Perfect way to get started.

    We are well traveled people so we just needed to be told about the highlights with directions. Then we were one our way. It is perfect if you don’t want to join a group tour.

    Perfect for us - could go as fast to slow as we wanted. Didnt have to worry about missing something. Great stories along the way.

  • The self guided tour to the Grand Canyon was fantastic. We stopped at several places that we wouldn’t have known about.
