Embark on a breathtaking day trip through Arizona’s storied past and rugged landscapes. Departing from the Embassy Suites Hotel lobby at 10:30 AM on Thursday, June 5, we’ll journey into the legendary Superstition Mountains and the historic Apache Trail, with a stop at Tortilla Flat, Arizona’s oldest operating stagecoach town.
Upon arrival, enjoy a delicious lunch, including an entrée, sides, and a soft drink, before taking some time to explore this charming, history-rich destination.
Next, we’ll transfer to Canyon Lake to board the renowned Dolly Steamboat. Sit back, relax, and take in the spectacular scenery on this 1.5-hour, six-mile cruise. Keep an eye out for desert bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and other native wildlife, all while gliding through the breathtaking canyons. You’ll also learn about the unique flora, from towering saguaro cacti to the fascinating desert varnish.
Enjoy the views in comfort—both the lower and upper decks are climate-controlled. Your ticket includes two ice-cold beverages of your choice to keep you refreshed.
We’ll return to Scottsdale and the Embassy Suites Hotel by 5:00 PM.
Cost: $130 per person
