Here's what I'm thinking. Let me know if this is doable or a massive pain in the arse

Fly into PHX, drive up and spend a day and night in Sedona, drive to the Grand Canyon, drive up to Vegas for 2 nights. Most likely fly out of Vegas.

I don't see why not. It's like a 4 hr drive so as long as you don't mind that, sounds doable to me.

Yeah. We've done Sedona and love it and we've never been to the GC and wife has never been to Vegas. She wants to see it but says she doesn't want a whole trip there.

I've done the drive from LV to Slidell a few times. That part is a good part of the drive and worth it imo

Very doable.

PHX to Sedona is less than 2 hours


Sedona to Grand Canyon is 2 hours (assuming you are talking about Grand Canyon National Park at the South Rim).

Grand Canyon to Vegas is 4 hours.


Before I moved my family here they came to visit me in 2010. We drove to Grand Canyon from PHX and hung out for a few hours at the South Rim. Then drove to Vegas to spend the weekend.

Doable. I’d highly suggest a sunset and sunrise at both Sedona and the Grand Canyon if possible.

Fiancee and I currently planning our honeymoon.

Day 1: Fly into PHX and drive into Sedona
Day 2: Sedona
Day 3: Drive to GC Desert View Point, drive to Page
Day 4: Page
Day 5: Drive to Zion in Utah
Day 6: Zion
Day 7: Drive into Las Vegas and fly back to MSY

Still deciding if I wanna do everything in one trip or spend more time in Sedona. There's so much to do in that area and the pictures are pretty breathtaking. I think our trip is around 10-12 hours total drive time.

i've done the reverse

Flew into vegas (where my FIL lives). Stopped in Sedona for half a day before driving the rest of the way down to Phoenix to see some friends. Flagstaff was about the halfway mark if I remember correctly.

eta: we did all of this in one day

I went to a conference in Phoenix and a big group drove from there to Grand Canyon, so yes, on to Vegas would be doable.

Done versions of this several times.

Easy enough to do... love the drive - so much amazing terrain... even right at Nevada border it looks like freaking Mars

Wife flew to Phoenix for work tonight. Heading over there Friday and driving up to Sedona. Booked a pink jeep tour for Saturday. Head back Sunday morning to PHX and back to Austin.

Thought I was saving a buck or two having her employer pay her plane ticket, but still shelled out a boat load
