GRAND CIRCLE TOURS OF THE SOUTHWEST
Northern Arizona, Northern New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado all have distinctive four seasons with spectacular fall colors. The desert areas of Arizona, New Mexico and California have less distinctive seasons. All of the high country of the Southwest and West can get large quantities of snow in the winter and nice cooling thunder showers in the summer, yet some areas average over 348 days with the sun shinning. The average high daytime summer temperature at the south rim of the Grand Canyon is about 76 degrees. The average high winter "desert" temperature is about the same. Taking one of our Grand Canyon Tours in the winter off-season can be especially beautiful with fresh fallen snow, and much less crowded! This is also true of Bryce and Zion Canyons in southern Utah.
Our tours take you to great overlooks, points of interest, and exhibits. We offer first-class itineraries that are unique and personal. We teach as we travel, conducting educational scenic tours that put you in touch with the people and the environment that we visit. We believe your time traveling between locations is as important as the destinations. Our extensive knowledge of the entire West and Southwest USA makes it possible for us to provide your group with a most informative and excellent first-class tour. A vacation in the American West and Southwest offers breathtaking beauty and geologic diversity.

The headlines of "The Arizona Republic" on Saturday, May 26, 2007 reads: "To really see Arizona, let a guide lead". In the article, the Republic recommends that you maximize your travel investment by hiring a guide. No matter where you travel in the Western United States, "there is a guide with the knowledge, skills and passion to show you the way."
