The western national parks tour is an incredible adventure. It is unbelievable how much we saw in 5 days and yet I never felt rushed. Our guide was excellent and incredibly organized. Everything was so well planned and felt completely taken care of. It was literally stress free allowing me to focus on the incredible experiences and sights.
