What people love about touring Western USA solo
- Yellowstone & Rocky Mountain Explorer
Best Tour Ever! Yellowstone Tour from Las Vegas with Bindlestiff Tours, 7 Days. I completed this tour in 2018 and it was hands down the best tour I have ever taken! WOW! The parks are amazing, that goes without saying and I have photos and memories to last a lifetime. Bindlestiff Tours was a pleasure to deal with- they communicated with me quickly and professionally prior to my tour with accurate and useful information. We even received a packing list and weather update a week or two out. Our tour guide was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and gave plenty of in depth area information which was both entertaining and interesting! At each location we were given ample time to explore ether at our own leisure or as part of the out group- the guide always made sure that all of our interested and walking abilities were catered for. Great food, great company, I enjoyed the small group aspect of the tour with only 14 guests it made it easy to make new friends and we had some great evenings together around the campfire. I am vegetarian and was fully catered for. This company really does care! The bus was brand new and extremely spacious and comfortable and the camping gear was of a very high level with air mattresses supplied for added comfort. Overall a phenomenal tour and we will definitely be traveling with Bindlestiff Tours again - THANK YOU!
Traveled to Alaska with my boys prior to them going off to college. Infinite Adventures provided us with some of our best memories together. They were very knowledgeable, great at spotting wildlife and the Bear Viewing trip was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Infinite Adventures!
Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
Truly magnificent and great experience for me, for my family and friends

What our customers ask about Western USA Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo participant on Western USA tours?
More than half of Western USA tour bookings come from solo travelers making it easy to connect with like-minded people. The tours create natural opportunities to socialize through shared activities from group dinners at local spots like Rustler's Rooste in Phoenix to hiking together in Yosemite or enjoying evening shows in Las Vegas. As one traveler put it: "Made more and better friends in 2 weeks on this trip than I have in the last 2-3 years of my life. There is no one I wouldn't be stoked about meeting again."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Western USA tours?
You'll stay in a mix of hotels and campgrounds depending on your tour. Some tours like G Adventures' "Wild Western USA" split the stays between 6 nights camping and 3 nights in hotels. Hotel options range from the Brandin' Iron Inn in West Yellowstone to camping experiences in Zion National Park. Solo travelers usually share rooms or tents with another same-gender traveler unless they choose to pay extra for private accommodation. The camping portions often lead to friendships through shared meals and evenings around the campfire.
Which areas of Western USA are most solo traveler-friendly?
Major cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco along with national parks such as Yosemite and Grand Canyon work well for solo travel. These places combine organized activities safe environments and chances to meet others. The Grand Canyon offers ranger-led hikes and talks while cities provide hostel stays and social meetups. A recent traveler noted: "Las Vegas was incredibly solo-friendly - between the organized Strip tours and group activities it was easy to meet people and never feel alone."
What should solo travelers pack for a Western USA tour?
Pack clothes that work for different weather conditions. You'll need sturdy hiking boots for places like Bryce Canyon layers for temperature swings between Death Valley and Yosemite's highlands and a reliable daypack. If your tour includes camping bring a sleeping bag and pillow. Hotels like the Grand Vista in Grand Junction provide standard amenities but the outdoor portions require specific gear.
How are meals typically handled for solo travelers on Western USA tours?
Tours usually cover some meals especially breakfast. Many offer optional group meal plans like Intrepid's "Vegas to San Fran" tour which suggests a $20 daily food kitty for shared meals. You'll find picnic lunches during national park visits and group dinners at places like the Flying Saddle Resort in Alpine. These shared meals often become key social moments where solo travelers bond with their group.
