Itinerary
Departing from Los Angeles in the morning, we first stop at Barstow, a desert town known for its roadside charm, where you can enjoy snacks and local souvenirs. Then continue to Lake Havasu City in Arizona to visit the world-famous London Bridge, originally built in London and later relocated here, now gracefully spanning the sparkling waters of Lake Havasu. In the evening, arrive at Williams, a historic town on the iconic Route 66, also known as the “Gateway to the Grand Canyon.” Overnight stay in Williams, where you’ll feel the authentic charm of a western small town.
Williams, AZ
Williams is a city in Coconino County, Arizona, west of Flagstaff. It lies on the route of Historic Route 66, Interstate 40, and the Southwest Chief Amtrak train route. It is also the southern terminus of the Grand Canyon Railway, which takes visitors to Grand Canyon Village. There are numerous inns, motels, restaurants and gas stations that cater to the large influx of tourists rather than local residents, especially during the summer and holiday seasons.
Barstow, CA
Barstow serves as a civilized stop-over for off-road enthusiasts and desert adventurers and offers access to a very modest clutch of cultural sights. Find out and about a museum or two, including one with Route 66 as its focus, filming locations like Bagdad Cafe and quaint Calico Ghost Town.
Lake Havasu City, AZ
Lake Havasu City is a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. London Bridge crosses a narrow channel that leads from Lake Havasu to Thompson Bay, which has become the second-largest tourist attraction in Arizona after the Grand Canyon. "Day of the Wolves" is a 1971 heist film starring Richard Egan, which was the first movie to be made on location in the new town of Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
London Bridge
There's no misnomer here-- this bridge is originally from London. In 1831, this bridge was a passageway over the River Thames in London, England. A unique and strange journey led it across the ocean and into central Arizona.
After breakfast, depart from Williams and head across the Arizona Plateau to Petrified Forest National Park, home to over 200-million-year-old fossilized trees. The colorful petrified wood scattered across the desert makes the landscape look like a natural gem field. Continue the journey to the world-renowned Meteor Crater, the largest and best-preserved impact site on Earth, an awe-inspiring natural wonder over 1,200 meters wide. In the evening, arrive in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, known as the “Valley of the Sun.” Overnight stay in Phoenix, where warm desert nights meet modern city comfort.

thousand tons, impacted an area outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb. The result of this impact was devastation for miles and the creation of the giant bowl-shaped cavity we call Meteor Crater, which measures 550 feet deep and almost a mile wide.
