US National Parks Vacations

The 63 national parks in the United States are various eco-systems with exclusive geological features, breathtaking scenic views, and excellent recreational opportunities for tourists.

Yellowstone was the first American national park established. President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill to create it into law in 1872. Then followed others, with the newest park added to the official list in 2020 (New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia).

National parks exist in thirty states and territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa. California has the biggest number of national parks, nine; Alaska has eight, and most states have one or two.

National parks are filled with unique natural beauty and wildlife, and are very popular vacation destinations. We have a variety of national park vacation options for you - whether it's a reservation at a hotel near one of the national parks, or a tour package (self guided, partially guided, or fully guided).

The following are among the most popular national parks in the United States. Contact us if you're interested in a vacation to a national park that isn't listed below, or if you would like additional details regarding any of the below national parks:

Yellowstone National Park

The world's first national park (established in 1872), Yellowstone National Park is about 3,500-square-miles and is located in three states. It's mostly in Wyoming, but portions are also in Montana and Idaho. Hot springs, geysers (including the famous Old Faithful), canyons, hundreds of animal species, and rivers are among the many sites to see and things to experience while vacationing in Yellowstone.

Yosemite National Park

Located among the California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite National Park is well known for its many waterfalls, deep valleys, spectacular granite rock formations, tranquil meadows (including Crane Flat), and ancient giant sequoia trees. Mariposa Grove is the largest sequoia grove in Yosemite, as it's home to over 500 mature sequoias. Quick tip: The best time to see waterfalls in Yosemite is during the spring, when most of the snowmelt happens.

Over 1,500-square-miles in size, Glacier National Park is located in Montana and has over 700 miles of hiking trails, lots of wildlife, Montana's Rocky Mountains with their glacier-carved peaks, pristine forests, alpine meadows, the beautiful Hidden Lake, and much more. Going-to-the-Sun Road is a scenic mountain road in the park that was originally built back in 1933. Portions of the road close during certain times of the year, but the road is usually fully open from late June / early July to the third Monday of October (subject to change of course). A bunch of ranger-led programs are usually available, with examples being all-day hikes, easy walks, evening talks, and boat tours.

Grand Canyon National Park

Located in Arizona, the impressive Grand Canyon National Park (established in 1919) is, of course, where you can find the mile-deep famous canyon that's up to 18 miles wide. The layered bands of colorful rocks are a result of millions of years of geological time passing. The Grand Canyon offers breathtaking views! If you'd like to take a walk or hike while visiting, the Canyon Rim Trail is a nice introduction to the park, as it is a well defined, mostly level trail. Mule trips are usually offered year round on the South Rim of the park, while raft trips on the Colorado River are great half-day and all-day adventures you can take part in.

    Tour Types

    Adventure Travel

    When a tour operator offers "Adventure Travel" it often means that their tours include very active itineraries, usually involving the in-depth exploration of the area(s) being visited, and possibly visiting remote locations. This type of tour tends to appeal to thrill-seekers, and those that like to participate in activities that include a good amount of physical exertion.

      Learn More

    Customizable Tours

    These tour operators give customers the option of picking and choosing pieces, creating a vacation that fits their preferences. Whether it's selecting specific hotels, or visiting specific destinations, the options are plentiful and sure to please you! We can arrange for as customized and specific of a tour that you would like, whether it be escorted, independent, or a bit of both. Contact us today to get the conversation started with one of our experienced travel advisors.

    Escorted Tours

    An escorted tour includes a professional guide, as opposed to being an independent (or self-guided) tour. Some escorted tour operators include a limited amount of time for guests to explore on their own, while others have tours that are completely escorted. Typically, just about your entire itinerary is included and planned for in an escorted tour package. You don't have to worry about what you're going to see and don't have to make reservations (for each component of the trip) with multiple tour operators - this option allows for you to just leave it to the professionals and enjoy yourself.

    Depending on the tour operator, as well as on the specific tour, some tours are private (just you and your traveling companions, if you have any) while others are with other travelers that booked the same tour. In the latter case, some tour operators offer small groups (which tend to be more expensive, but also more intimate and exclusive) while some have larger groups that travel together (which provides a very social atmosphere, as you can meet many other people).

      Learn More

    Independent Travel

    Also referred to as self-guided travel, independent travel gives you the freedom to do things at your own pace. You don't have a guide with you like you would on an escorted tour, but you can make your own schedule and choose your own itinerary.

    This option is usually significantly less expensive than an escorted tour that includes similar components; however, cost and quality simply depends on the tour you select as both budget and luxury tour operators offer this type of travel.

      Learn More

    Luxury Tours

    When the finest vacation is your top priority, this is the place to start.

    Common inclusions on the tours offered by these companies are luxury accommodations, private or small groups, exclusive/VIP experiences, and more. Although these tour operators are usually more expensive than the rest, they also provide their guests with so much more, resulting in a fantastic value when considering all that's included.

      Learn More

    Budget Tours

    The tour operators that we list as offering a "Budget" product are those that tend to have pricing that is considered more economical, and as a result often include components (i.e. accommodations and tours) that are good but not quite top tier.
