Southwest USA Tours and Holidays
We're not joking when we say the Southwest has it all...
Where else can you find sprawling deserts, (Grand) canyons, coastal towns, wine regions and waterfalls — all within one region? Whether you want to weave through Zion's soaring slot canyons, get a taste of old-fashioned Americana on the iconic Route 66 or explore Joshua Tree's unique cactus gardens, big adventures await. Throw in a passionate local leader, a small group of like-minded travellers and some legendary Southwestern hospitality, and you have yourself an unforgettable experience in the U.S. of A.

Joshua Tree National Park
Get your feet dusty as you explore one of Cali's most unique landscapes. Joshua Tree is more like nature's playground than a national park. See the unusual Teddy Bear Cholla Garden (warning: these cacti are not soft, do not cuddle!), navigate through narrow canyons on the Maze Trail, and hike to a giant boulder known as Skull Rock to admire the desert flora stretching as far as the eye can see.
Arches National Park
Scattered with over 2,000 free-standing rock formations, we’d forgive you for mistaking Arches National Park for Mars. Explore one of the Southwest’s most spellbinding landscapes as you weave through sandstone fins on the Fiery Furnace hike, crawl and scramble along the Devil’s Garden trail, or float down the Colorado River on a standup paddle board.
Grand Canyon National Park
At 29 kilometers wide, 1.5 kilometers deep, and 446 kilometers long, it's impossible to comprehend the vastness of the Grand Canyon when you see it sprawled in front of you. Gaze in awe from multiple viewpoints along the South Rim Trail, explore steep red-rock escarpments and gorges as you snake down the canyon to Plateau Point or learn about the park's Indigenous history and geology with a naturalist guide.
Zion National Park
Are you ready to tick off one of the world's best slot canyon hikes? The iconic Virgin River Narrows will have you wading through rushing river passages as you wind through a towering slot canyon buttressed with 300-metre-tall cliffs. Hidden away from the crowds who tend to stick to the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, this is the Zion most don't get to experience. Don't forget your waterproof boots!

Western USA Family Holiday
Neil · Traveled August 2024
Our trip with Intrepid delivered life lasting memories and experiences. When I was wondering if a day could be bettered the following day it was. It was enjoyable, informative and an opportunity to see sites and have experiences that you will not find anywhere else. Epic trip!

Epic trip to some amazing natural landscapes, that just cannot be captured in photos. Our family (boys aged 13 & 11) loved the hikes, kayaking and camping. This was our first holiday on an organised tour and will not be our last, thanks Intrepid!

The Utah Parks Circuit does not disappoint in any way. The scale of the places visited in these unique environments blow your mind: words and photos do not do them justice. The trip is incredibly well organised and led and I highly recommend it.
