The National Parks Loop - 9 Days in Arizona, Nevada, Utah & California

What to expect from the National Parks Loop

Explore one of the most extraordinary regions in the American Southwest — a land of towering canyons, sculpted arches, and ancient deserts that have stood for millennia. This 9-day private road trip takes you through iconic National Parks like the Grand Canyon, Zion, Arches, and Bryce, where dramatic landscapes unfold at every turn. From the deep blue waters of the Colorado River to the sandstone trails of Utah, you'll be immersed in scenery that feels otherworldly. The journey also offers a window into Native American heritage, with opportunities to learn about the traditions and history of the region's Indigenous communities.

Want to extend your journey? You can opt for a California & San Francisco add-on, featuring dramatic coastal highways and redwood forests — perfect for a well-rounded National Parks experience.

When to Plan Your National Parks Loop

To avoid snow-related road closures, plan your trip between May and October — with late spring and early fall offering the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds. While summer is dry, temperatures in areas like Arizona and Nevada can reach well over 110°F (43°C), making outdoor activities challenging in midday hours. We recommend planning scenic drives and light hikes for early morning or late afternoon to make the most of your visit.

MORE INFO & FAQ

Driving in the United States – What You Need to Know

Planning a self-drive road trip in the United States? Here are a few important tips to help you travel smoothly and confidently:

Driving Etiquette: Passing on the right is permitted in the U.S. and commonly practiced, especially on highways with multiple lanes. Don’t be intimidated by wide roads — it’s all part of the experience!
Right Turn on Red: In most states, you’re allowed (and often expected) to turn right at a red light unless a sign prohibits it. Always come to a complete stop before turning.
Parking Rules: Always check signs for restricted hours and meter rules — some areas are free during evenings or weekends. Never park in front of a fire hydrant, even if there's no sign. If marked spaces are painted on the ground, be sure to center your vehicle properly within the lines.
Toll Roads: Many tolls in the U.S. — often marked as Toll or Turnpike — are cashless and use automated systems like E-ZPass or FasTrak. Be careful not to enter lanes marked as “FasTrak Only” if you don't have a pass. Have cash or a credit card ready for tolls that still accept manual payment.
Speed Limits & Police Stops: Stick to posted speed limits. Driving more than 5–10 mph over the limit can lead to fines. If stopped by law enforcement, keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and follow instructions calmly and respectfully.
Navigation & Roadside Assistance: We highly recommend traveling with GPS navigation and a reliable roadside assistance plan for added peace of mind during your journey.

Room Configurations in the U.S.

Please note that triple and quadruple hotel rooms in the U.S. typically include:

Triple rooms: One large bed + one smaller bed OR two large beds
Quadruple rooms: Usually two large beds (double/double or queen/queen)

These configurations may vary by hotel brand and location.

Tipping in the United States

Tipping is standard practice in the U.S. and not typically included in the price of services. As a general guide:

Restaurants: 20–25% of the total bill
Hotel staff (bellhop, housekeeping): $2–5 per service
Private drivers or guides: 15–20% depending on service level

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
