More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the highway and the red rocks of Sedona loom like carved walls, the car quiet except for the audio voice guiding you to the next viewpoint. The tour moves at road pace—pauses at Cathedral Rock, cruises past Tlaquepaque, then opens into the sheer emptiness of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim where the land drops away in layered stone.

Download before you go
Set up the Action Tour Guide app and download the tour over Wi‑Fi—it works offline but needs the password and files preloaded.
Watch Hermit Road access
Hermit Road closes to private vehicles in summer—park and use the park shuttle as the audio instructs.
Bring extra water at the rim
High elevation and sun on the South Rim dehydrate faster than you think; carry at least 1L per person for shorter stops.
Allow parking time
Popular overlooks fill early—arrive at Mather Point or Desert View before mid-morning to secure spots.
Water bottle (1–2L)
Staying hydrated is essential in arid climates and at higher elevations.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Needed for short steep trails like Cathedral Rock and mid-length loops such as Pyramid Mountain.
Phone with chargers/power bank
Runs the audio tour and offline maps—keep battery life topped up for navigation.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Desert sun is intense year-round; protect skin and eyes during overlooks and walks.
