Going to the Southwest this fall or winter for your vacation or roadtrip get-away?

While there, take a Pink Jeep Tour. Pink Jeep Tours operate out of Las Vegas, NV and Sedona, AZ. They have been in operation for nearly 50 years with a safety record of more than 1 million accident-free miles driven in 2008 alone. Their tours cover a lot of ground and are amazingly affordable, considering the price of gas, the roughness of the terrain and the cost of skilled tour leaders/drivers.

You get to ride into the "sunrise/high noon/sunset" in a "Tour Trekker", Pink Jeep Tours first of its kind, luxurious yet rugged, spacious all-terrain vehicle. A new tour that only started this spring is the Grand Canyon Classic Deluxe Tour. This tour is featuring the West Rim's breathtaking Quartermaster Point. Quartermaster point is named after O. G. Howland who served as Quartermaster in the Union Army under Major John Wesley Powell. Pink Jeep Tours is the only company being granted access to Quartermaster Point at this point in time. This translates into an unparalleled experience of the panoramic viewpoint. No crowds, no fences, just breathtaking views of the Colorado River.

In February of this year, Pink Jeep Tours graduated 12 new Certified Interpretive Guides (CIGs). That brings the number of guides to 19 for Pink Jeep Tours who have undergone a 32-hour training course over an intense 4-day period. This allows the guides to give a more informed "interpretation" of the natural details about the environment they are showing people. These guides have acquired knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology, archeology, local history and Native American cultures. This is a highly respected distinction conferred from the National Association For Interpretation (NAI), an organization dedicated to advancing the profession of heritage interpretation.

Among the tours you can experience out of Sedona, include:

Grand Canyon Experience

Broken Arrow

Ancient Ruins

Diamondback Gulch

Scenic Rim

Coyote Canyons

Hiking Tours

Rock Art Expedition

TIP: Out of the Las Vegas branch of Pink Jeep Tours, you can get a real bargain of a tour with the best dam price around, with a "Pink Tag Sale" on their Hoover Dam Top to Bottom Tour. It is regularly priced at $156 per person, but is available through August 31 at only $129 per person. This is a tour that includes a guided Colorado River float tour by raft, allowing you to experience the Hoover Dam in a way few people get to.
