Embarking on a US National Park tour was a breathtaking adventure, connecting me deeply with nature's wild beauty. Witnessing majestic canyons and meeting fellow adventurers from across the globe was awe-inspiring. Claire Kredens, our exceptional guide, made the journey unforgettable, enriching it with local insights, and thrilling activities like exploring Antelope Canyon and kayaking/hiking expeditions.

This was my first intrepid trip, and I would do it all over again in a minute. Our group was so appreciative of all of the sites that we were able to see in such a short amount of time. All of the accommodations were clean and comfortable., some even including some seriously good breakfasts. Our tour guide., Indy, was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about all of our destinations. I highly recommend intrepid to anyone who is on the fence.

This National Parks trip is a can't miss! The agenda is jam-packed in the best way, visiting Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, and Grand Canyon in the span of 5 days. Indy, our guide, was experienced, knowledgeable, and highly enthusiastic leading our group of 9 women. Certainly time well spent with a group I enjoyed getting to know. Some advice for those considering: it can get cold in the spring, so watch the weather. Bring snacks-- you'll work up an appetite staying active. If you can, do Antelope Canyon-- words don't do it justice.

Wanted to see and hike western US national parks, Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon. Decided best to try an organized tour to maximize our exposure to these incredibly scenic locational. Had never vacationed with an organized tour so with some trepidation we decided on Intrepid’s Western USA National Parks tour. It was everything we never expected. Every day was brim full of activity. The views were majestic. The people we encountered were incredible, warm, fun loving, individuals. And our tour guide was experienced and organized. He read the group like a charm and made each moment memorable. Thanks for a memorable trip.

Our exciting US National Parks adventure left me with memories which will last a lifetime. It's hard to capture the emotions felt when seeing Bryce Canyon hoodoos for the first time, when looking up at the beautiful rock formations at Antelope Canyon or when seeing pictographs in Monument Valley, whilst being captivated by Navajo traditions. Judd, our inspiring leader, created the perfect opportunities for our group to share and left us with so many fun and happy memories. I would recommend an Intrepid adventure to all - the Intrepid team make dreams come true!

This was my first trip with Intrepid, and first group trip of any kind and I could not be happier I decided to give it a go. The beauty of the Southwest was only matched by the beauty of the group I traveled with, most of all our fearless leader Matt, kayak guide Dana and Dineh guide Ricky. 10/10 recommend!
