Tours with slower pacing work well for visiting Utah's national parks, with extra time built in at viewpoints like Inspiration Point in Bryce Canyon and Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.

You'll find designated accessible trails at popular spots like the Riverside Walk in Zion National Park and the Windows Section in Arches. Book at least 3-4 months ahead for summer trips to lock in availability at lodges near Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon.

What people love about Utah Tours for Seniors
- Mighty 5 From Las Vegas
This was an amazing trip. Our trip began with breathtaking Zion National Park. Everyday following we visited a new park just as majestic and exciting with a good mix of hiking and sightseeing from the very comfortable Mercedes van. The views took my breath away. This is a well planned out excursion. Erin (our guide) was very personable, attentive and informative. He made sure that guests needs and abilities were taken into consideration. He suggested hikes for different levels of fitness and there was something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend this trip.
- Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City
The tour was excellent. Well planned itinerary, hotels were nice, food was plentiful. As expected, I had to worry about nothing. The surprise was the friendliness and expertise of the guide, Brandon. He built a relationship with each of us (11 on trip) and adapted it for each of us. He knew the options available in the parks and explained much about the environment - from birds to plants to rock formations.Guy knows his stuff. If you are able, get on one of his tours!

An amazing experience with wonderful fellow travelers and our great CEO. Thanks!
