What our customers ask about USA Family Tours

Yellowstone draws families to its predictable geysers like Old Faithful and abundant wildlife viewing spots. Zion National Park features gentle trails suitable for all ages including the popular Emerald Pools route. "Great tour encompassing almost 1200 miles over 10 days seeing incredible sites" notes one TourRadar traveler about Rocky Mountain. Lodging ranges from the historic Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs to the traditional park lodges within Yellowstone itself.
What are the best seasons for family travel in different US regions?
Each region of the United States shines in different seasons. New England's fall colors peak from September through October. The Southwest's mild temperatures make March to May and September to November ideal for exploring. Hawaii maintains pleasant weather year-round with temperatures between 70-80°F. Summer months (June-August) work best for Yellowstone visits when trails are clear and wildlife active. One TourRadar traveler reports: "We enjoyed our autumn colors experience with amazing views throughout New England making it perfect for family photos and outdoor activities."
