| - My girlfriend and I hit up Western Destinations earlier this month. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
We were on our way to Sedona and then up to the Grand Canyon, so we stopped in on the morning after checking out of our Phoenix hotel. First off, don't try to squeeze this many stops and activities into one day..we did our best, and rushed through most of it. We did sleep at the Grand Canyon, and even saw an Elk sauntering around in the middle of Tusayan before it turned completely black.
Anyhoo, we didn't rush our stay at Canyon Creek Ranch. We planned for 2 1/2 hours and stayed 4; we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Joe, Opal, and even Opal's grand daughter. All of the activities were fun, especially the complimentary beer. We loved it!
I've told all of my friends about it, and if you're on the fence, which I always thought is a strange place to be, make sure you fall off on the Western Destinations-side. It'll be the highlight of your trip. Until you hike the Grand Canyon early morning when it's still dark, and get to watch the sunrise like we did, then that'll be the highlight of your trip. Until you hike back up.
My recommendation? Check out the Grand Canyon up on the rim, then book it to Western Destinations. Looking for "Ooh Aah" pics? They sell Grand Canyon views on postcard for grandma. What you can't get on a postcard are memories with your significant other, group, or you and a cowboy doing tomahawk throwing, shooting, lassoing, archery, or quickdraw (this was our favorite, who doesn't at one time or another want to legally shoot at your significant other?) unless you go to Western Destinations.
We're coming back one day... and we're bringing our posse.
