Scott was an excellent guide and very kind to take us when it was just two of us on the trip. It was a windy, cold, winter day at the canyon with plenty of mist. But, Scott had so much history of the Hopi and Navajo and the geology of the canyon to share that even though we did not spend a lot of time gazing from outdoors, we were satisfied with our day. The van allows a longer time at the canyon than some other options and since we'd already been on Amtrak from CA, we didn't need to also take the tourist train to the canyon. In the van we got to ask lots of questions. In the geology museum, hopi house, El Tovar, and the Desert View Watchtower (a famous woman architect designed this and many other southwestern special places!), we were happy to warm up and enjoy the interior sights and views out windows while still having our guide on hand to interpret and inform.
