    The first week of the tour good with several attractions to see such The Badlands, Custer state Forest, Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone NP. The canyons were amazing and wildlife is good. On he second week (The Best of Montana), the supposed historic towns were not interesting especially Helena. Only last two days in Glacier NP were good. The driver/guide was good and has local knowledge. It would have been better if the driver/guide has talked more about each destination or anything along the way.

    Our trip was fantastic. Our guide Caty was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw so many sights in Yellowstone (bears, bison, fox, deer, elk, antelope big horn sheep). Everything was perfect.

    Is the local temperature in this season a problem for this tour?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      The weather in the Grand Canyon varies tremendously from the rim to the canyon floor, with as much as a 30 degree Fahrenheit/ 13 degree Celsius difference. For this reason, the Canyon is truly a year-round hiking destination. To be fully prepared, please follow the recommended clothing list closely.
