What the weather is like
The climate varies significantly between Bryce Canyon, Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks. Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon are at an elevation between 6500-7500 feet, which keeps the temperatures moderate throughout the summer months. Zion is at an altitude of 4000 feet and is generally much warmer during the summer months. In Zion, we have planned our walks for the morning and late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

Go a little off the grid
It’s great to have a sense of adventure with your family, but the ultimate luxury when you travel on vacation is escaping away from the crowds. On all of our tours we get to the places the turisti don’t go.Reviews
"All eleven members of our family from 10 to 72 had a magical experience. Our guides were wonderful and became part of our family…our time together was obviously carefully thought out, but they were flexible in planning things they thought we would enjoy."Logan and Dorothy W. and family, Stuart, FL
