$145
Autumn in Oak Creek Canyon is one of Arizona’s greatest treasures—crisp mountain air, golden leaves, and the quiet music of the creek below. We’ll travel north from the Valley along one of the state’s most scenic routes, winding our way into the canyon for an included creekside lunch at Junipine Resort.
Guests will choose from a specially prepared menu of hearty seasonal dishes while surrounded by towering trees, colorful foliage, and magnificent red-rock cliffs—the perfect setting to relax and savor the season.
After lunch, we’ll continue along the scenic canyon road, where every curve reveals another beautiful view. We’ll travel through Sedona and onto the Red Rock Scenic Byway, often described as a “museum without walls” for its dramatic formations and breathtaking scenery.
With two of Arizona’s most celebrated scenic drives, brilliant fall color, an included lunch, and stunning red-rock views, this is always one of our favorite autumn adventures. Don’t miss this Kindred Tours fall classic!
