Arizona Road Trip
Ashley aka The Wanderlust Gourmet
Available for hire
7 days driving around the picturesque state of Arizona? Yes please! This itinerary will take you to three National Parks (Saguaro, Petrified and Grand Canyon) as well as Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe bend. The accommodations for this trip are as luxury for each area as we found and include at least one top food spot in each location also. The trip is aimed at a balance of outdoors and luxury. We wanted to be pampered after so much hiking and outdoor activities!
Because we road tripped we chose to bring our cooler. We stopped at some local grocery stores and picked up snacks for the road and light meal options. We didn't eat out 3 meals each day and sometimes we just wanted to be spontaneous and ask our tour guide where to eat next.
The trip is roughly 7 days but you can stay longer or shorter in each place if you choose.

Day One
Fly into Phoenix Arizona. It's about 1.5 hours to Saguaro National Park from there. We suggest landing mid AM and enjoying the afternoon drive to Saguaro to stay for sunset.

If you want to fuel up before you hit the road we recommend this spot. Scottish Salmon and croissant bread pudding are the menu favs.

Named after the Saguaro Cactus this National park has two sections. Leave time for both for some easy hikes and different landscapes.

Hello! I'm Ashley also known as "The Wanderlust Gourmet." I've been planning travel and putting pins on maps since childhood. I've lived in 5 states and have been to all 50 🇺🇸. I've been to 3/7 continents and I'm halfway through the Canadian provinces 🇨🇦. Nothing excites me more than finding new spots to explore. I find a blend of local specialties, hidden gems, history, coffee, cupcakes, spas, cocktails, and of course amazing food wherever I wander. I enjoy road trips, flying, cruising, hiking, and staycationing equally. My trips will always be a blend of activities and options for everyone but all trips will have gourmet food and plenty of helpful tips.
Please follow me on Instagram to see my latest pics, guides and delicious food finds. Please contact me for personalized travel or collaboration opportunities 📬.
May many blessings be with you wherever you roam and guide you back safely to family and home 💚....and always take the scenic route....
