Booked this as part of our honeymoon, and honestly, it made our trip! We had so much fun and saw some unforgettable sights. The tour was so enjoyable that we were saying we should have booked an even longer one because three days felt too short! A big part of what made the trip such a great one was our guide, Joe Rickertsen, who was friendly, knowledgeable and all around fun to hang out with. We learned so much and loved our interactions with him. If given the option, we'd definitely choose him to be our guide again for our future tours!

Adrian • traveled in December, 2025
We saw so much and it was well organized. This trip was fast paced, but that is what was to be expected. The best part of our trip was the Navajo cookout where we learned about the Navajo tribe and their experience. It was a really immersive experience we were not expecting at all. So much was checked-off our bucket-list! We really recommend this trip and Tours of Distinction.

Based on the positive feedback we keep getting, Bindlestiff Tours really stands out in the Southwest travel scene. Their guides Khriss and Rachel consistently get mentioned in reviews for going above and beyond - they know their stuff about the region, keep everything running smoothly and make sure everyone has a good time on the road.G Adventures also does solid work in the Southwest with their Utah and Arizona parks tour. The actual experience gets great marks from travelers and hits all the right spots, though a few people mentioned they had some trouble getting clear info before the trip started.Bamba Experience is a bit more hit-or-miss from what our customers tell us. While their itineraries are well put together, the guide quality isn't always consistent and some travelers felt the marketing didn't quite match what they got on the ground.If you're looking at these options, Bindlestiff seems to be the most reliable choice based on recent feedback. Their guides really make the difference - they've got that perfect mix of being super knowledgeable about the area, keeping things organized and making it fun for everyone along the way.

Best time to visit Southwest USA
- Winter 2025 / 2026
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 2026
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.

- 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.

- 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.

What can I experience culturally in the Southwest?
The Southwest's really incredible for diving deep into Native American culture especially through Navajo Nation experiences. You'll want to catch those sunrise jeep tours through Monument Valley between 6-8am for the best photos while guides share stories about traditional ceremonies and local folklore. Lower Antelope Canyon's amazing with Navajo guides explaining how water shaped those incredible formations over millions of years. If you're looking for authentic crafts head to Cameron Trading Post near the Grand Canyon's east entrance it's been there since 1916 and has beautiful turquoise jewelry and handwoven rugs. Spanish speakers don't forget to ask for bilingual guides especially for technical hikes or cultural tours.
How do I best experience the natural wonders away from cities?
The national parks are incredible and each season brings something different. You'll want to tackle Zion's Narrows June through September when the water's lower and Bryce Canyon's Queen's Garden Trail is perfect at 1.8 miles for getting up close to those amazing hoodoo formations. The Grand Canyon's South Rim works year-round but the North Rim sits 1000 feet higher and only opens May to October. Want to dodge crowds? Get there before 9am or after 4pm. Getting around's easy with park shuttles like Zion's that runs every 7-10 minutes in peak season right from Springdale visitor center.
What's the best way to get off the beaten path in the Southwest?
You'll love exploring Route 66 towns like Seligman Arizona which actually inspired Disney's Cars. For hidden gems check out Kodachrome Basin State Park with its 67 stone spires they look incredible at sunset. Monument Valley's Mystery Valley tour takes you to secret Anasazi ruins and rock art and booking Navajo guides gets you into restricted areas most people never see. Travel March-May or September-November for perfect weather and way fewer tourists.
Where can I go that isn't packed with other tourists?
Capitol Reef National Park's amazing and gets just 10% of Zion's visitors try the 3.5-mile Chimney Rock loop for incredible views of the Waterpocket Fold. Valley of Fire State Park's just an hour from Vegas with these gorgeous red sandstone formations and petroglyphs from 2000 years ago. The Needles District in Canyonlands near Moab's perfect for quiet hikes through desert spires and ancient art. Around Page Arizona you'll find some of the best stargazing anywhere with clear skies more than 300 days a year.
Can I find good vegetarian and vegan food in the Southwest?
You won't have any trouble in bigger cities like Las Vegas Phoenix and Salt Lake City but smaller towns need some planning. Moab's Desert Bistro and Springdale's Whiptail Grill have great vegetarian options and park lodges usually have something that works. Pack some protein-rich snacks for hiking days especially in remote spots. There's lots of traditional Navajo food that's naturally vegetarian with corn and bean dishes. If you're worried about meals look for tours that include meal planning they'll make sure you're taken care of.
