    Asked on October 7th, 2025

    We are looking at the 16 day trip, which is operating from April to October, which goes along the Route 66 road from Chicago to LA. It includes the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, and many other cities, and costs around £2,669.00. We are in our seventies and will not be camping. However, we have the choice of travelling in May or September, and wish to know which is the best trip, as far as the weather is concerned, please.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten October 2025

      Weather in the Southwest - Our Southwest America trips operate in the spring and autumn when the weather is generally nice. It's important to note that these trips pass through very different climate zones and we will go from the desert of Nevada to Calgary, which is the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. This means average temperatures in spring and autumn can vary from 30 Celsius in Las Vegas and some of the national parks in Arizona/Utah to 15 Celsius in Yellowstone and Calgary (day temperatures) and nights in general can be pretty chilly. As weather conditions vary you need to be prepared by packing some warm layers and a good sleeping bag.
