Only 90 minutes from Flagstaff, but you will want to make this a full day trip. Leave the Inn after breakfast, head north on Rt. 89, stop at the Cameron Trading Post (one mile north of the Hwy 64 turnoff) and enter the Park on the east side at Desert View. Enjoy the overlooks along the East Rim Drive. This is where you really see the colors of the canyon. Stop for lunch in the Grand Canyon village - the dining room of the El Tovar is recommended. Head south on Rt.64, stop at the Imax theater in Tusayan, and return to Flagstaff on Rt. 180 in time for dinner.
Grand Canyon Special
bullet.gif (402 bytes)Oak Creek Canyon/SedonaOak Creek Canyon/Sedona near The Inn at 410  a Bed and Breakfast located in Flagstaff, AZ 86001
A full day trip. Leave the Inn after breakfast, head south on Rt. 89A, stop for the overlook at approx. 13 miles. As you drive down the canyon, take your time and enjoy the red rocks. This is a beautiful place. Shop downtown Sedona and Tlaquepaque. Or, take a hike. We have trail maps and guidebooks you may borrow for the day. There are plenty of lunch spots. We like the Heartline Café, a couple miles west of downtown on Rt. 89A. Return to Flagstaff through Oak Creek Canyon in time for dinner.
*Optional add on - Continue west from Sedona on Rt. 89A to the old mining town, now arts and crafts colony of Jerome. Stroll the galleries. Lunch at the Flatiron Café. Stop at Tuzigoot National Monument on the way back, if time allows.
bullet.gif (402 bytes)Sunset Crater/Wupatki/Walnut Canyon
An easy day trip. Leave the Inn after breakfast, head north on Rt. 89 and take the turn toward Sunset Crater. This is an extinct volcano and lava flow with a visitor’s center and a nature trail. Continue on this road to Wupatki. Here is a well-restored pueblo style ruin. Signs point out a couple other ruins off the main road. I like the Citadel. Continue on this road to rejoin Rt. 89 and turn south back toward Flagstaff. When you get back into town, catch eastbound Interstate Rt. 40 at the first opportunity. In just a few miles you will find the exit for Walnut Canyon. Here are cliff dwelling style ruins where you can walk right through the ruins. There is a very long stairway down into the canyon. It may be too much for some. Return to the Inn for some relaxation before dinner. 
bullet.gif (402 bytes)Meteor Crater/Homolovi Ruins/Petrified Forest/Painted Desert
A very full day trip. Leave the Inn after breakfast, head east on Interstate Rt.40. Meteor Crater, at exit #233, is an impact crater with a visitors center that describes the astronaut’s lunar training here. Homolovi Ruins, at exit #257, has only recently been excavated and the work continues. It was recently named a state park to protect the ruin site. Continuing east to Holbrook, exit for Rt. 180. After Approx. 19 miles enter Petrified Forest. Stop at the visitors center and walk the trails. Its amazing. Drive north through the park to the Painted Desert. Stop at the overlooks. Catch westbound Interstate 40 for the drive back to Flagstaff, hopefully in time for dinner. To make this a more manageable day you might omit either Meteor Crater or Homolovi Ruins depending on your interests.
