Good to know
- This tour starts in the morning in Los Angeles; plan to arrive the day before (we can add a pre-tour hotel night on request).
- US border crossing: please bring a valid passport and any required US entry documents.
- Moraine Lake: the road is closed to personal vehicles. Visits run in season (roughly June to mid-October; 2026 Parks Canada shuttle season was June 1 – Oct 12) by Parks Canada shuttle or a licensed commercial operator. Outside the season we substitute another stop.
- Zion: the Scenic Drive is served by the park shuttle for most of the year. Large vehicles are restricted in the Zion–Mount Carmel tunnel, so coaches travel to Bryce Canyon via Cedar City.
- Southern Utah, Las Vegas and Arizona are very hot in July and August; June and September–October are the most comfortable.
