Item Description

Two-night stay at Maswik Lodge in Grand Canyon, Arizona, including two bus tours of the canyon, the Hermits Rest Tour and the Desert View Tour.

Maswik Lodge is a modern facility spread over several acres of Ponderosa pine forest, located just a quarter mile from the edge of the Grand Canyon. The native stone and wood structure has a rustic appeal throughout. The lodge features a cafeteria with an adjacent lounge and sports bar, where you can watch the latest sports action on a big-screen television. 

The Hermits Rest Tour is a two-hour narrated motorcoach tour that travels along the old wagon road built by the Santa Fe Railway. There are stops along the West Rim at several spectacular overlooks, and the tour stops at Hermits Rest, a unique building of native stone created by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter in 1914.

The Desert View Tour covers some 52 miles in 3.75 hours. Traveling east along the Rim of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River emerges from the depths of the inner gorge and many of its rapids can be viewed. This tour stops at Lipan Point, often said to be the most spectacular viewpoint on the East Rim Drive. The highlight of the tour is the stop at Desert View, where you will find the Watchtower, a re-creation of the unusual towers erected by the ancient native peoples of the Southwest. The view from atop the Watchtower is nothing short of breathtaking.
