Snowy Peaks, Saguaro Deserts & Savory Wines: Arizona Vacations

Austin-Lehman Adventures - Exciting, Active Arizona Tours

From the saguaro-studded expanse of the Sonoran Desert to the snowy peaks of Flagstaff…from the riparian depths of the Grand Canyon to the roaring waters of Havasu Falls…from the rolling grasslands and lush vineyards of Sonoita to the wild west town of Tombstone…Arizona is a land of seemingly impossible diversity.

Relax for a well-deserved soak in the swirling, mineral-rich waters of a natural Jacuzzi tub after a long hike. Learn the story of the "Two Brothers," the stone pillars perched above the village of Supai, before mailing a postcard from the village post office – the only remaining site in the U.S. still delivering mail by mule train. Test your cooking and wine pairing skills at the Tubac Culinary School, savoring the buttery hues of an award-winning Arizona chardonnay. Top off your day with a refreshing swim under a desert waterfall deep in the Grand Canyon…or sipping a frosty ice cream float at the Snow-Cap Drive-In along Historic Route 66.

Relax your mind, energize your body ignite the adventurer within on an Arizona Vacation, as exciting and varied as the biodiversity of the land.

Havasupai: a Grand Canyon Oasis Arizona Adventure
These Arizona tours begin in Scottsdale/Phoenix, Arizona.  Travel north through the Sonoran Desert and red rock canyons before arriving in Sedona. Hike along Oak Creek with panoramas of the Verde River Valley and cross the Colorado Plateau to arrive at the Grand Canyon Caverns Inn. Hualapai Hilltop is perched on the edge of the Grand Canyon and is the only land travel access to Havasupai.  Hike from 5,400 feet down a trail into the canyon where you will enter the village of Supai, the most remote village in the U.S., where the mail still arrives by packhorse!  Here at 3,200 feet, Cottonwood-lined paths lead through the village and into the Canyon’s backcountry. Hike to base camp past the 80-foot Navajo Falls and 100-foot Havasu Falls.  Sleep under the stars or retire to your spacious tent.  Wake up beneath towering cottonwood trees to the sound of rushing water and hit the trail as you hike to Navajo, Havasu or Mooney Falls.  Embark on one of the most exciting and beautiful hikes in North America, wading across blue streams and through lush meadows of wild grapevines on your way to Beaver Falls, choose the “wet route” for the opportunity to swim to the “green room” – an underwater air pocket accessed by swimming beneath the first tier of the waterfall. JUMP off the 18-foot main fall into the frothy pool below! Learn more about Havasupai: a Grand Canyon Oasis Arizona Adventure >>
