The 3 days in Banff were fantastic. The guides from Calgary Tours were professional, warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I would tour through them again. The service on the Rocky Mountaineer was exceptional but the experience itself wasn’t what I was expecting based on their own advertising. Most of the view for the trip was just trees, which is lovely as we want our forests to remain populated but it made for a fairly boring trip. Next time I would choose a bus and go to Jasper or just fly.
6-Day Rockies Vacation from Calgary with Rocky Mountaineer Deluxe Train – Limited-Time Free Columbia Icefield Adventure passThe guide was perfect and the provided material for camping was good ! The showers and toilets at the place where we camped was not so clean.
Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 DaysThis was a fast but nice tour and Dave was a good Guide. Only in LA i thought should we have had more time but it was perfect for a Solo Travler

Best time to visit Southwest USA
- Summer 2026
Summer opens up every possibility in the Southwest. Our travelers head into Zion's Narrows early, using the cool canyon waters to beat the desert heat. Long summer days mean fitting in both sunrise walks among Bryce Canyon's hoodoos and also sunset views at the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Popular tours include Devil's Garden Trail in Arches, home to the world's highest concentration of natural stone arches. Moab works perfectly as a multi-night stop - mix morning hikes with afternoon pool time and also optional Colorado River rafting if you're up for it.
- popular 123 tours
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall creates ideal conditions for active Southwest trips. Cooler temps make longer hikes comfortable - you can do the full Narrows in Zion or venture deep into Canyonlands' Needles District. Our travelers really appreciate fall's quality of light for capturing Monument Valley's long shadows and also Antelope Canyon's famous light beams. Many tours include nights at Monument Valley's historic lodges, where desert buttes turn red at sunrise right outside your window. The pleasant weather lets us mix cultural stops at Sedona's galleries with outdoor activities like scrambling Arches' slickrock trails to catch sunset at Delicate Arch.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in the Southwest brings some smart route changes to our tours. We skip summer's Yosemite stop in favor of quality time along Monterey's historic waterfront and Cannery Row. Our travelers spend leisurely mornings in Carmel-by-the-sea, browsing art galleries before taking the coastal 17-mile drive. The shorter winter days work well for catching Santa Barbara's Spanish Mission in good light, and you can enjoy those famous Danish pastries in Solvang without fighting crowds. Page, Arizona serves as an ideal overnight base - you'll catch both the Monument Valley sunrise and watch morning light play through Antelope Canyon's stone corridors.

- Spring 2027
Spring hits the sweet spot for Southwest park tours. The mild weather is just right for hiking Angels Landing in Zion or wandering the Queen's Garden Trail through Bryce Canyon's rock formations. Our customers tell us the Navajo-guided Monument Valley jeep tours are real highlights, with perfect morning light for photographing those massive sandstone buttes. Several routes include special access to Antelope Canyon where spring sun beams create amazing patterns in the narrow slots. The mix of camping and lodge stays works really well this time of year - people love sharing stories by the Bryce Canyon campfire and also doing some serious stargazing in Capitol Reef's certified Dark Sky area.
