The Grand Canyon is home to some spectacular sites besides the magnificent chasm. Travel to Meteor Crater, where a giant meteor impacted the earth and where astronauts trained for space missions. Afterward, you'll visit the combined National Parks of Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. Learn how this giant forest was turned to stone and enjoy views of the colorful Painted Desert cliffs as they change hue throughout the day. You'll also see ancient petroglyphs and the ruins of prehistoric Indian dwellings. This tour is a first-hand glimpse of Mother Nature's handiwork!
