What people love about touring Western USA solo
- Wild Western USA
Great tour, but Intrepid should have definitely declared it as a youth tour. If you're older than 25 you're an oldie let alone being in your 30ies, 40ies or older. Nevertheless the organizing was good, you got a lot of freedom though being a guided tour and you get variety of different impressions ranging from crowded cities to total nature.
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
The tour was interesting, busy &well managed. The guide John was professional and we cannot fault the arrangements. We thoroughly enjoyed our week & shall recommend it highly to friends & family
- Grand Canyon and More 3 day tour
The tour and guide were great. I would have liked more time in the Grand Canyon as that experience seemed rushed and I didn’t get to hike as much as I would have liked. However, all the stops and people leading us in the Navajo Nation, Antelope Canyon, etc were wonderful. I would definitely recommend that everyone take part in the Antelope Canyon tour unless you have difficulties maneuvering a ladder. That was a remarkable experience! Being a solo traveler, I did find it a bit awkward that I was touring with a family of four. They were wonderful and kind, but since I had some flexibility of when to travel, I had emailed and asked if there was as a tour that was recommended for solo travelers. Although the response was somewhat vague, I took it to mean a variety of travelers included multiple parties. Five in the tour - as a family of four and me- seemed a bit unusual. I left with an overall good experience and I’m glad a booked. (Hotels were good and offered a hot breakfast.)
What our customers ask about Western USA Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo participant on Western USA tours?
More than half of Western USA tour bookings come from solo travelers making it easy to connect with like-minded people. The tours create natural opportunities to socialize through shared activities from group dinners at local spots like Rustler's Rooste in Phoenix to hiking together in Yosemite or enjoying evening shows in Las Vegas. As one traveler put it: "Made more and better friends in 2 weeks on this trip than I have in the last 2-3 years of my life. There is no one I wouldn't be stoked about meeting again."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Western USA tours?
You'll stay in a mix of hotels and campgrounds depending on your tour. Some tours like G Adventures' "Wild Western USA" split the stays between 6 nights camping and 3 nights in hotels. Hotel options range from the Brandin' Iron Inn in West Yellowstone to camping experiences in Zion National Park. Solo travelers usually share rooms or tents with another same-gender traveler unless they choose to pay extra for private accommodation. The camping portions often lead to friendships through shared meals and evenings around the campfire.
Which areas of Western USA are most solo traveler-friendly?
Major cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco along with national parks such as Yosemite and Grand Canyon work well for solo travel. These places combine organized activities safe environments and chances to meet others. The Grand Canyon offers ranger-led hikes and talks while cities provide hostel stays and social meetups. A recent traveler noted: "Las Vegas was incredibly solo-friendly - between the organized Strip tours and group activities it was easy to meet people and never feel alone."
What should solo travelers pack for a Western USA tour?
Pack clothes that work for different weather conditions. You'll need sturdy hiking boots for places like Bryce Canyon layers for temperature swings between Death Valley and Yosemite's highlands and a reliable daypack. If your tour includes camping bring a sleeping bag and pillow. Hotels like the Grand Vista in Grand Junction provide standard amenities but the outdoor portions require specific gear.
How are meals typically handled for solo travelers on Western USA tours?
Tours usually cover some meals especially breakfast. Many offer optional group meal plans like Intrepid's "Vegas to San Fran" tour which suggests a $20 daily food kitty for shared meals. You'll find picnic lunches during national park visits and group dinners at places like the Flying Saddle Resort in Alpine. These shared meals often become key social moments where solo travelers bond with their group.
