Great NP, even during the shutdown. Visitor's Center was open and the shuttle was running (it ends October 19). Lots of varied hikes from 1 mile to some monstrous ones. Terrain was varied as well, some serious elevation changes and some paved accessible ones. Quite beautiful!

Bryce Canyon National Park is one of those rare places that feels almost other-worldly. The moment you step up to the rim and look out over the amphitheaters filled with thousands of vibrant red and orange hoodoos, it genuinely takes your breath away. No picture truly prepares you for how surreal and massive the landscape is in person. What makes Bryce especially memorable is how accessible its beauty is. You can catch incredible views right from Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, and Bryce Points, each offering a slightly different angle of the canyon’s maze-like formations. But the real magic happens when you hike down into the canyon. Trails like Navajo Loop, Queen’s Garden, and Peekaboo Loop let you walk among the towering hoodoos, weaving through narrow passages and tunnels carved by nature. It’s hard not to feel tiny, in the best possible way. Another highlight is how the park transforms throughout the day. Early mornings glow with soft gold light, afternoons bring out the rich reds of the rock, and the sunsets are phenomenal. If you stay after dark, Bryce is also one of the best stargazing locations in the country—its night sky is unbelievably clear. Whether you’re there to hike, photograph, or simply soak in the views, Bryce Canyon feels like stepping into a natural cathedral shaped by time and elements. It’s a must-see national park that leaves you inspired long after you’ve left.

Bryce Canyon is absolutely stunning. The landscape is filled with towering spires of rock called hoodoos in deep reds, oranges, and whites. The trails are steep, challenging, and completely worth it. Every turn opens up a new and breathtaking view. What makes Bryce Canyon so unique is that it isn’t a true canyon but a series of natural amphitheaters carved by erosion and frost. The park sits high on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, with elevations reaching over 9,000 feet at Rainbow Point. A few fun facts: The park covers about 35,835 acres (roughly 56 square miles). It has the largest concentration of hoodoos in the world. The colors come from iron oxide and other minerals in the rock. The contrast of light at sunrise and sunset makes it one of the most photographed places in Utah. If you love dramatic scenery and rewarding hikes, this is a place you’ll never forget. Five stars from start to finish.

Wow!!! Bryce Canyon is unbelievable its like another world! It gets real interesting fast when you enter red canyon going east on hwy 12. Those red rocks are amazing such deep red color. Then you get to Bryce and those deep red colors mix with the tan sandstone color all of it blends into a natural wonder! We had so much fun we traveled all the way down the canyon at Rainbow Point and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch. They have lots of picnic tables in this area and restrooms. Many roadside pullout areas and parking lots to get to all the viewpoints along the canyon. When traveling deep into the canyon the canyon dropoff is on both sides of you....quite a thrilling experience! I recommend getting to sunrise/sunset point as early as you can because it gets quite busy with visitors. Once you find parking there is nice large concrete walkway that join Sunrise and sunset points together.

We went in early November and the crowds weren't to bad. The visitors center was still open even with the government shutdown. The views were stunning and breathtaking. Wish we could have had more time to do some of the hikes but we will definitely be coming back to see more.

Breathtaking views! I think winter is the best time to visit as the hikes are doable (we did the 3 mile hike which made us sweat as well lol). The beautiful skies add up to the wonderful snow capped mountains which are visible even at greater distances.

Gorgeous. Don’t be afraid to go in a few basic hikes; they’re well worth it. Visit the welcome center and talk to one of the park rangers at a desk and get a plan for each day. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend specific hikes that were within our capabilities, including secret gems.

Our little one loved the Carrousel for Missoula. The carrousel itself is amazing. Clean, neat and very fast. But more than that, the playground and area around it is amazing too. We had lots of fun.

This place is so amazing and the people who run it are so kind. Our grandma is in a wheel chair and they kindly had accommodations to safely get her on the ride in her wheel chair to ride with her grand daughter. She said her best memories as a little girl were riding the carousel and she was so happy to relive those memories with us. We absolutely will be back

This was the highlight of my kiddo's week. He had so much fun. It is only $1 for kids and $2 for adults! We rode it twice! The elderly man running it made it so much fun for my kiddo the way he interacted with him!! The playground outside is amazing! We didn't want to leave!

We’ve come up for the summer the last 3 years and this continues to be one of my kids favorite spots in town. They’ve done a great job of preserving and maintaining this awesome landmark. Prices are reasonable and employees are SO friendly!

Hosted a party on 7/26 for my daughter's birthday. Mr. Jeff made things SO easy, his fun positive attitude made everything so easy, all of the staff working that day was so nice! Highly recommend!!

Beautiful carousel, but heartbreaking to see so many dead birds outside. I visited today and found three dead birds that had flown into the mirrored walls surrounding the carousel. This can’t be the first time. Mirrors confuse birds because they reflect the sky and trees, making them think they can fly through. Please, this needs to be fixed. Stickers alone won’t solve the problem. Why not invite the community to paint over the mirrors with something creative and beautiful that still keeps the carousel’s charm while saving the birds’ lives? I’ll gladly take down this review when the issue is addressed — but until then, it’s too sad to ignore.

Such a neat place with so many ways to enjoy the time!! Just had my child’s birthday there and was extremely satisfied! Haley and Shaun did such an amazing job with catering to myself and the party guests!! 100% perfection!! Thank you to the team and Tracy for making this private party possible!!

Felt incredibly close to nature out here. The boat ride was peaceful and full of beauty—so many bald eagles, natural rock arches, bird nests tucked into cliffs, and even ancient pictographs telling stories of Indigenous culture. Our tour guide, Kara, shared many fun facts about the canyon rock formation and history. A truly special place that blends wild scenery with deep history.

Great experience!!! 2nd time I have come, will come again!! Beautiful scenery, informative tour, kind people, great food!!! I recommend!! I brought all my resident from my assisted living and they were very accommodating and helpful!!

Beautiful boat ride. We were able to see Bald Eagle and Osprey. The historic narration is very interesting.

It was truly breathtaking. Our captain was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The gift shop and cafeteria is worth a visit as well, so make sure you make time for Gayes of the Mountains!

Very informative tour! Had a great boat ride and very senic.

What an amazing tour and affordable for the family.we bought tickets ahead of time .plus we brought snacks and drinks with us and shopped the gift shop after the tour .beautiful pictures and interesting history . No wildlife was spotted on tour ..it was a beautiful day .plan to get there early, buy tickets ahead of time

The Cathedral of St. Helena was constructed at the turn of the century during the episcopate of Bishop John Carroll. It is an outstanding example of Geometric Gothic architecture, patterned after the Votive Church of the Sacred Heart in Vienna, Austria. Stained glass windows, white marble altars, statues carved of the purest Carrara marble, and genuine gold leaf decorates the sanctuary. The pews and woodwork are all done in hand carved oak. The magnificent lighting fixtures are of hand-forged bronze with a special lacquer finish. Outside, majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the street. Open year-round, Monday - Saturday 7:00am to 6:00pm and 7:00am - 12:30pm on Sundays. Prearranged guided tours take one hour. Please call the parish office to arrange for a tour. Daily Mass in the Cathedral, Monday and Friday at 7:00am and Tuesday through Thursday at 7:00am and 12:00pm. Saturday 9:00am. Weekend masses: Saturday at 5:15pm. Sunday at 7:30am, 9:00am, and 11:00am. It is located at 530 North Ewing Street, Helena, MT 59601

This church is absolutely unbelievable. The fact that it’s located in the middle of Montana and isn’t highly recognized across the nation is truly surprising. The stained glass was unlike anything I’ve ever seen—and that’s coming from someone who has visited many of the major basilicas across Europe. The beauty, craftsmanship, and overall atmosphere here are outstanding. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely gorgeous! Be sure to visit when guided tours are available if you are interested in history or architecture, they are well worth the time!

A stunning 'hidden gem' in a quiet neighborhood in Helena MT. The architecture is lovely. Inside - it reminds me of some of the old churches in Europe. Beautiful arches, high ceilings and the stained glass - breathtaking. So peaceful.

This Cathedral is a gorgeous building that gives you the profound feeling you can almost touch eternity. Its beauty, art and atmosphere leave a lasting impression.

No entrance fee. Highly recommend, fantastic architecture and stained glass windows. Beautiful!!

What an amazing cathedral in a relatively small city in the middle of Montana. This is a place to visit for its beauty, size, and inspiration. Check out history on Wikipedia.

Stayed one night after visiting Craters of the Moon National Monument. We had everything we needed. It's an older campground and appears to have several permanent residents. Everybody was nice and the place was quiet. The inground pool was out of order but there was a nice above ground pool with enough depth to swim some short laps. Plenty of space to let my dog get in a little fetch and run. They play the National Anthem at sundown and Reveille in the morning. Quiet otherwise and reasonably priced for a night

Park has not been kept up very well Posting says wine tasting and ice-cream social. Neither happened. Posting says heated pool. Although it was a nice above ground pool it was not heated Website mentioned a parade. Nope no such thing. Guy behind the counter was not very helpful or social. It is a beautiful area. Not sure i would stay again.

Stayed in our RV at this location. This campground needs some love. Bathrooms were clean, but the whole campground was pretty run down. The "compound " next door played reveille every morning on loud speakers, along with the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem each evening at sunset. Not really annoying, just different.

Such a cute 🥰 and peaceful campground. We met our family friends who also camped here for a yearly get together. We all really enjoyed their "Home Theater" style Golfing simulator fun room.

We stayed in one of your amazing cabins for the week and looking forward to our next trip here to this wonderful campground,..!!! We especially want to say thank you to the manager Jeffery for going out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at home here.!!!

This was a convenient and quiet place to stay while visiting Craters of the Moon National Monument. It's about 20 miles from the monument, but there's not much out here to choose from. Of all the KOAs I've stayed at, this was definitely sub-par. It's very out dated and looks run down. The site was fairly level and there was free firewood, but that was about it. The pool was closed in late September, as we thought it would be, so we can't rate that. After seeing the town and other camp grounds in the area, I would prefer Mountain View which had lots of trees and grass.

We had a great stay at this KOA! The campground was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Easy check-in, level sites, and convenient amenities made everything smooth. Would definitely stay here again!

🏔️ Grand Teton is absolutely beautiful. The mountains are stunning, and the scenery feels almost unreal. It’s a great place for hiking, wildlife spotting, or just taking it all in. 🌿

Visiting Grand Teton with my family and a friend, amid our Yellowstone adventure, left me awestruck. The jagged peaks, sparkling lakes, and abundant wildlife inspired renewed admiration for the National Park Service’s stewardship. Their dedication preserves these spectacular landscapes for memories, reflection, and awe across generations. Absolutely unforgettable!

Extremely beautiful! Current entrance fee is $35 for a private vehicle for a seven day pass. The park is open 24 hours a day every day all year around

Beautiful national park. Seen many wildlife animals. Good hiking trail. Parking space can be a challenge.

I've found that I love National Parks with mountains, and this one does not disappoint. It was really pretty in the fall, which was when I went with my family. I'm from Southern Arizona so it was amazing to see the reds/yellows/oranges that I haven't really seen in my State

One of the most incredible nature experiences you can have in your life!

The mountains here are what every kid draws in a picture. Peaking scraggly mountains that butt right up to a prairie. I've been here a few times in each time is his breathtaking is the last. I recommend doing as many hikes as you can to as many lakes as you can be cause each one is full of new mountain reflections.

An absolute must-do in Jackson! The tram and gondola rides offer breathtaking views of the Tetons and the valley below. The ride itself is smooth and scenic, and once you’re at the top, the views feel like you’re on top of the world. Corbet’s Cabin is worth the stop for waffles and hot chocolate. It’s a bit pricey, but the experience and scenery make it well worth it. Whether you’re riding up for a quick photo opportunity or planning to hike from the top, this is one of the best experiences in Jackson Hole.

Incredible Views! We had the Jackson Hole Tram on our schedule all along and then suddenly you are in line about to get on and your palms sweat for a second. At least mine did. We didn't have to wait long. It was such a smooth ride up and back down and it was cool to see the ski runs in the summer time. There was a little bit of narration along the way which was fine. The views from the top are spectacular! We were iffy about buying a waffle but boy we were glad we did. The waffles actually exceeded expectations. They were the lightest waffle I have ever had. It practically melted in your mouth. It is worth it. Oxygen is a bit lighter up there so you don't need to be in a hurry to climb to the tip top too fast unless you are use to it. It was 57 degrees up top in late June with snow still around. We definitely recommend that you include this in your visit to Jackson Hole!

The team ride was an easy and enjoyable ride. Checking in and getting the tickets was a simple one-line process. The staff were helpful. On top, what view! I didn’t do the skywalk but my wife did. We also enjoyed Corbett’s waffle house. The staff were polite and efficient. The Baileys went done smooth and the cobbler was excellent.

Mind-blowing views that will leave you speechless! WOW! My wife and I just experienced the most incredible ride of our lives on the Jackson Hole Aerial Tram! This thing rockets you up 4,139 vertical feet in about 12 minutes, and the views get more spectacular with every passing second. By the time you reach the top at 10,450 feet, you’re literally on top of the world! The tram itself holds about 100 people, but somehow it never felt crowded because everyone was just glued to the windows in absolute awe. As we climbed higher and higher, the entire Jackson Hole valley spread out below us like a living map. The Teton Range, Snake River, and endless wilderness stretched as far as we could see. At the summit, Rendezvous Mountain offers 360-degree views that are simply beyond words. We could see into Idaho, down into Jackson Hole, and across some of the most pristine wilderness in North America. The viewing decks and short hiking trails at the top let you soak it all in from different angles. The ride down was just as thrilling, and we caught views we missed on the way up. The whole experience felt like a journey through the clouds. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but for this kind of once-in-a-lifetime perspective, it’s worth every penny. Pro tip: Bring a jacket! It’s significantly cooler at 10,000+ feet, even in summer. This is hands down a must-do Jackson Hole experience! 🚡🏔️✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Amazing views a top the mountain bus the tram, which is a fun ride. We spent several hours walking trails breathing in the fresh, cool air, taking in amazing views and simply hanging out. Totally worth it, though a bit pricey.

Great views. Lovely area... We greatly enjoyed our two weeks in JH 6/25, looking at pictures I can see the great home loaned to us for our stay. Thank you beyond words can really say to my great friend JM and his family for sharing their wonderful Winter home with my family. My son and friends intend to come back this winter to the JH resort to take in some skiing. 10/25

Went to the top. Ride alittle crowded,but good. Conductor informative and pleasent. For us a one and done but worth it. The sights were ones to remember. Late sept. Was cool and windy. Waffle house at top for snacks and waffles.

This little park is right in the center of the city, so you definitely won’t miss it. It only takes about three minutes to walk around, but it’s worth a stop. What makes it special are the original entrances made from animal horns — very unique and memorable!

It is a great place to be. The Elk Antler’s Arch is a magnificent piece of work. The bars around sell great cocktails and weather is amazing during September. Good spots for pictures all around.

Jacksonville was just okay. The drive there was absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery all the way. Better than the destination. The town itself feels like a cute town to spend a couple of hours. We had breakfast at Persephone, because Tiktok lead us there. That was quite a disappointment though. But we loved wandering through the streets, checking out the art galleries. Enjoyed 2 ice creams for 18,30. So bring your wallet. But grabbing a beer at the cowboy bar — sitting on a saddle bar stool was a great experience. Still a fun and unique stop.

Jackson is a destination that won’t disappoint. There is a wonderful hiking trail around Jenny Lake, easy hike and beautiful. The barns are visited by many people to capture the Grand Tetons in the background. Lots of wildlife everywhere you go. The mountain just on the outskirts of town square offers a mountain slide that is so fun and affordable. Make it back to town for the weekly shootout. Think this happens on Saturdays. Take a ride in the 2 horse drawn stagecoach which circles town square. You may also catch a musical group in the park. Great saloons and eateries all over town. For the more adventurous, take a white water raft trip! Enjoy!

Too crowded and too pricey. The antlers were nice the rest is a tourist trap..never again one visit for me. The people were busy and one protester was outside yelling lies about the President of the USA in the middle of a place people from all over the world to allow the dumb man yelling at at the tourists about his "beliefs". He ruined my day as he called me a names as I passed him on the main corner of the town.

A nice, shady and good place for a quick pitstop and pictures. The antlers arches are quite amazing. Lots of shops around the area so be prepared to drive around a bit to find parking. Good collection of restaurants, ice cream places and souvenir shopping. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little town with many shops, bars and great public square to stroll on. Also amazing views of the mountains

Lava Hot Springs is a wonderfully relaxing and family-friendly destination that’s perfect for unwinding. The natural hot pools range in temperature from 102°F to 112°F, offering options for everyone—from gently warm to deeply soothing. The entire facility is clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff who make the experience even better. They offer convenient amenities like showers, changing rooms, and the option to rent towels or swimsuits if you didn’t bring your own. Whether you’re stopping by for a short soak or spending a few hours here, it’s a great way to relax and enjoy the healing mineral waters. Highly recommended for both locals and travelers passing through!

Worth every minute. The town is quaint and interesting. Neat bars, restaraunts and hotels-motels. Ice cream and pizza too. Music in the park every Saturday. Tubing on river through town. Good day trip or over night two day trip.Hot spring water is HOT. Different HOT pools. Nice garden walk and snack shops. Free street parking. Limited though for trailers. But free public parks and playgrounds and off street parking. Could get crowded in-season but worth it. Would be fun in winter snow too. Cool place.

It was so much fun! We had ages 7-60 with our family and it was AMAZING! We all had fun! Clean locker rooms, and heated walkways, and the cutest hillside garden and decorations! There was different temperatures and depths of water to accommodate anyone and everything and all of the pools had a ramp if you can't walk down stairs! We will definitely go back

We had a great experience. Arrived during the week, opted to go to the hot pools. Arrived around 10/11 AM, light people traffic, plenty of space available. Towel rental available, showers and snacks from gift shop. Pool temps range from 102-112 F approximately. Staff was friendly and explained everything well. Make sure you keep your receipt if you rent a towel. Facilities clean and orderly. Purchased tickets upon arrival without issue, but experience may vary during different times of the year.

We were here in a perfect Wednesday- there were very few people. We learned they empty and clean the pools every night. The staff was friendly and the pools are glorious. The garden around the pools is amazing and there are such cute little additions.

Lava Hot Springs is a beautiful place for mineral pools. Well maintained, with multiple pools ranging from 102-112 degrees, no cool pool. A couple of hot tubs, showers, lockers and water fountains. It has shade covers, lots of greenery and flowers about the grounds, and only $7.50 to enter. Wonderful visit!

The river rafting was such a great time and affordable. We warmed up in the hot spring. We were there on a Saturday late afternoon in September. It was not overwhelmingly packed. It was very relaxing and clean changing rooms

Antelope Island is a beautiful and peaceful place. The Bison are such amazing creatures that shouldn't be taken lightly while on the island. Expect to spend a few hours there while walking around, exploring some of the sights.

I recently went camping and hiking at Antelope Island, and it was such a peaceful experience! 🌅 If you love nature and hiking videos, check out my YouTube channel @IamOnePOV — I uploaded my full Lakeside Loop Trail adventure there. The views are breathtaking, the lake looks unreal during sunset, and nighttime is perfect for stargazing. There aren’t many big trees, so I’d suggest booking a site with some shade if you visit in summer. Highly recommend spending a weekend here — it’s one of Utah’s hidden gems! 🌄

Very unique park! After driving the causeway, we were immediately greeted by several bison and a herd of antelope! We visited mid September, on a Friday and it was not busy. The temporary visitor center is in a small building at the marina while their main visitor center is undergoing renovations. We camped in Bridger Bay campground (no water currently due to VC renovations), and our camping fee ($20 + $8 fee) covered our causeway toll.

Can see the Buffalo was amazing they are a really big animal , you probably think that they are quiet and patient but they can be really angry with human so be careful, amazing place for take pictures and go with the family (:

I enjoyed my day on Antelope Island. I was there as the tide came in on the east side, when exiting, so I could better see the marsh areas. The fee is high, $15. Due to construction there is no water and they let you know that before you enter and it is on the state park website. There are vault houses (pit toilets) all over the island. I spent a few hours at Fielding Garr Ranch, drove around and hiked to different parts of the island. The locals aren't kidding, those brine flies are pesky! By late afternoon, they were out and annoying. They are vital to the ecosystem, just be prepared. I had no idea how large Salt Lake is! It is so flat you can see the evaporation cycle occurring. I've great photographs of it on the north side, with afternoon sun hitting it, even slight rainbow colors. I learned a lot about the fresh water on the island, too. I saw hundreds of BISON and a deer grazing in the field.

I got to bring a photography group here from one of our Junior highs and they had the best experience ever it was really beautiful to visit and enjoy the history.

Huge difference between the summer and the cooler months. Plan out the trip as the. colder months probably till June, certain roads are closed. But it also means no flies and other pesky insects. The cooler temps means it'll be easier to do certain trails as you won't sweat as much from the radiant heat. There are 2 that were taken in the cooler months (March) and the rest in June.

This year they've remodeled and added some nice features. They've upgraded benches (such as by Terror Ride) and repaved some areas of the park which is nice. Generally speaking, accessibility is an afterthought. Some paths can be narrow and crowded. Handicap parking is fairly limited considering the size of the parking lot. Ride seats are not inclusive of various-sized bodies. Primordial just opened last year and the queue is already breaking down - the projector show wasn't functioning when we went through. Food is typical to what you'd find at a carnival. They have lots of slushy, ice cream, and dessert options, so plan your budget for some treats at least. I saw some signs that they finally sell coffee in the park but I didn't have an opportunity to taste it. We went in July when they were selling tickets online for $70 including fees. The tickets this year are twice the price when they're not on sale, which is way too expensive. If they want to charge Disney prices they need to rise to the same level of inclusiveness. We had fun on our visit but if we had paid the normal price it would not have been worth the price.

Great assortment of rare, one of a kind, and married rides, family/kid rides and coasters. Staff works well to get you secured and going on the ride with deployment times and turnover which is fantastic. Wait times are pretty good all things considered. My only gripe is the price of tickets are a bit much compared to comparable parks.

I took my girls to Frightmares a few weeks ago. Friday was a great day to enjoy the park as the lines weren't too long. The food is amazing and so filling. I definitely recommend the burgers. The staff are friendly and helpful. The park is well maintained and seemed pretty clean. We were able to see a Joey in it's mom's pouch. And peacocks roaming free through the park. Iwould definitely take my family here again. Next time I'll be taking the kids when it's bounce back so that we can do the rides one day and the water park the next.

Lagoon Amusement Park is a great little mom and pop business located just north of Salt Lake City. This place reminded me of Knoebels Amusement Park in central Pennsylvania as both places have a similar type of vibe. The roller-coasters here are very solid, with Cannibal and Wicked being the highlights. We also liked riding Roller Coaster as well since that ride is over 100 years old now!

We love Lagoon so much. Its so fun to take the whole family. The only downside is the cost. It is very expensive. We have had a great experience with the new RAP pass. (Disability ride access) We appreciate having wait times that correspond with the stand-by wakt time. In previous years, you could just go to the exit and basically skip the line. That wasn't fair to others. This way, pass users get a return time. It is very helpful if someone in your party needs to sit down more often, or if they take a bit of extra time to load. The employees handle the pass with kindness amd respect. We have had to deal with the Safety and Security staff this year. They are excellent to work with. They made our minor emergency much smoother. I will say too that I hope they are able to safely rehome all the animals in the "zoo" space. I would really hate to see animals there next year.

It was super fun. I had never been on a roller coaster before so I was pretty scared but it ended up being super fun. The Halloween decorations were fun too and although there was a wait for some rides it wasn't too bad for most. If you want to get thrown into the deep end of rollercoasters it's best to go straight to Cannibal (that's what my friends made me do) and by the end of the day I was loving it and we rode it 3 times in a row. Also this has nothing to do with the park but if you go and there are lots of kids around just start saying "6 7" and the kids will all say it back which is pretty funny.

We love Lagoon and have been coming since I was a kid. My only complaint this year is that line cutting is SO common when the park is busy, because the lines trail out into main areas and people use this to cheat the system. No one enforces line cutting so people get away with it and that sucks. Hoping the park finds a way to address this. But otherwise, we are happy patrons! Incredible rides, lots of rides and things to do for every comfort level, decent food, clean bathrooms, great nighttime vibes with the lighting. Lots of history here and it shows. They make an effort to include a lot of plants, flowers, large trees, murals, colors, etc.

Stunning, Jaw dropping, amazing! Every turn is an Oooh Ahhh turn. Truly a magnificent place. Thank God they protected these areas. The National parks are one of our greatest treasures

Has a small museum dedicated to the park, and souvenir store. Rangers were friendly and will give you answers in your inquiries about the park.

Really small visitor center. Can't accommodate all the visitors, but the staff were really helpful and they have great exhibits and a small gift shop. Appreciate the maps all being located outside so you don't have to wait in line just to ask for a map.

As usual the staff is always helpful. Make sure you take your ID and American the beautiful pass or money to pay the park entry fee. Many options for souvenirs and interesting facts about the park.

Loved the short drive in the park. We did a short walk at the end of the road. Get there early if you can. Lots of big tour buses go through here. Lots to see outside the park area too.

This park was so stunning and every moment it was more stunning.The rocks changed their clothes every time.The sun moved

Great camping, great hiking, great National Park! We stayed Friday-Monday and had plenty of time to explore and relax. Try the 🥧 pies and if you are early enough to snag a cinnamon roll they are a must!

Nice place for a quick stop to see Bryce canyon NP-like views. The spectra trail was nice, but they also have an observation deck area that will give you equally nice views of you don't have time to walk the trail. The gift shop has reasonably priced shirts and sweatshirts. You're required to have your state park pass to enter this location but no one checks so you can basically just walk the trail and see the observation deck without having to show your park pass at all. As long as you don't go into the visitor center, you're good. There is a clean bathroom at the parking lot.

WOW! Let me tell you, if you can make it up to cedars break I would highly recommend the drive. When you’re seeking peace this is the place to be. Just under a 35 minute drive from cedar city this look out is quite phenomenal. With a priceless view and onlookers from all over it’s truly breathtaking. Every time I’m in town I go to Cedars Break to catch the sunset and just sit in awe of such an amazing spectacle.

Go up there if you can. Very similar to Bryce, but 2000 ft higher in elevation. The ride up there from Zion to Bryce (yes it is a detour) in late September with the aspens in bloom was spectacular. Even had to stop to allow some grazing sheep to cross. WELL WORTH A TRIP.

We got it just in time to have a moment to talk to the Rangers in the visitor center. They cannot be kinder or more friendly and were very helpful. The park is open 24 hours however the visitor center is only open til five. Beautiful hikes, beautiful views for everybody to enjoy.

This place was so much more than what I expected to see here. I had no idea what I was driving to and walking towards. It was such an unassuming drive on the way to Bryce Canyon and it just pops out of nowhere. Have to say it was really cool and the most pleasant of surprises. Breathtaking.

This place is all inspiring. From the southern visitor Center just walk straight out and you are greeted with this massive landscape. You can see for miles and miles and the landscape is very unique. Take a moment and read the various information that's available at the visitor center as they are very helpful. The geological formation at this area is quite amazing. They are restrooms you can use and it's easily accessible from the parking lot. There are several viewpoints around this monument and I highly recommend you go to her the Northern viewpoint as it gives you a very different perspective. I think the best time to visit is doing sunrise and not sunset.

This gorgeous park is such a hidden gem! Was never on our plans, never heard of it until a friend told me about it. SO glad we went! If you’re in the area of Zion and Bryce, this is a must do!!! It’s like a mini Grand Canyon! Visitors center and staff were great too…

Such an incredible place! We had previously come in the winter and were unable to do it (they close this one in the winter due to rockfall). We were excited to do it in the summer on a day it wasn’t too hot. We descended here and took the trail to Sunset Point (I’d recommend starting with this trail as you want to enjoy it rather than being exhausted by it.) The trail was busy, but not necessarily packed—lots of coming and going. My wife and I commented to each other that we heard more foreign languages (especially European) than we heard English which was really cool. The trail is indescribable and something you have to experience yourself. Worth the trek to see this amazing geological feature. Take plenty of water and use the bathroom before descending as there isn’t anything down in the valley.

Wall Street is one of the loop sections of the Navajo trail. This trail is not as hard as advertised as long as you have good hiking shoes and are smart, aka don't walk on the edge. The park map says you should hike up Wall Street, but it was better to walk down and loop the trail over to queens garden trail. One thing that is not noted on the maps is if you happen to walk down the trail, take time to stop now and then and look up. The view is pretty amazing as you have the hoodoos towering over you along with seeing the trail zig zag down the canyon.

Very cool. Even through weathered erosion beauty springs forth. But all of Bryce Canyon NP is epic. Do the hikes. Walk the rim. Ride the multi use trail. Bryce Canon NP drive is 18 miles long and just stunning. Just not enough parking but the shuttle buses are always around the corner.

Hiking through Wall Street feels like walking into a secret world. The narrow canyon walls soar hundreds of feet overhead, creating a sense of scale. The light filters down, illuminating different rock faces and making the view change with every step.

Beautiful hike going deep in the hoodoos. Best to do this trail up and go down from the Navajo which is longer down and in the sun. Wall Street has shade and makes it nice when you’re pooped out from Navajo. 👍

Very nice and I had a looming feeling like the walls would collapse on me. Also someone fed a local Chipmunk so it goes up to people to try to get food.

Wall Street was a cool place to see, on the Navajo Switch Back. My kids got there just fine (ages 12, 9, 6). It was very beautiful!

Great NP, even during the shutdown. Visitor's Center was open and the shuttle was running (it ends October 19). Lots of varied hikes from 1 mile to some monstrous ones. Terrain was varied as well, some serious elevation changes and some paved accessible ones. Quite beautiful!

Bryce Canyon National Park is one of those rare places that feels almost other-worldly. The moment you step up to the rim and look out over the amphitheaters filled with thousands of vibrant red and orange hoodoos, it genuinely takes your breath away. No picture truly prepares you for how surreal and massive the landscape is in person. What makes Bryce especially memorable is how accessible its beauty is. You can catch incredible views right from Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, and Bryce Points, each offering a slightly different angle of the canyon’s maze-like formations. But the real magic happens when you hike down into the canyon. Trails like Navajo Loop, Queen’s Garden, and Peekaboo Loop let you walk among the towering hoodoos, weaving through narrow passages and tunnels carved by nature. It’s hard not to feel tiny, in the best possible way. Another highlight is how the park transforms throughout the day. Early mornings glow with soft gold light, afternoons bring out the rich reds of the rock, and the sunsets are phenomenal. If you stay after dark, Bryce is also one of the best stargazing locations in the country—its night sky is unbelievably clear. Whether you’re there to hike, photograph, or simply soak in the views, Bryce Canyon feels like stepping into a natural cathedral shaped by time and elements. It’s a must-see national park that leaves you inspired long after you’ve left.

Bryce Canyon is absolutely stunning. The landscape is filled with towering spires of rock called hoodoos in deep reds, oranges, and whites. The trails are steep, challenging, and completely worth it. Every turn opens up a new and breathtaking view. What makes Bryce Canyon so unique is that it isn’t a true canyon but a series of natural amphitheaters carved by erosion and frost. The park sits high on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, with elevations reaching over 9,000 feet at Rainbow Point. A few fun facts: The park covers about 35,835 acres (roughly 56 square miles). It has the largest concentration of hoodoos in the world. The colors come from iron oxide and other minerals in the rock. The contrast of light at sunrise and sunset makes it one of the most photographed places in Utah. If you love dramatic scenery and rewarding hikes, this is a place you’ll never forget. Five stars from start to finish.

Wow!!! Bryce Canyon is unbelievable its like another world! It gets real interesting fast when you enter red canyon going east on hwy 12. Those red rocks are amazing such deep red color. Then you get to Bryce and those deep red colors mix with the tan sandstone color all of it blends into a natural wonder! We had so much fun we traveled all the way down the canyon at Rainbow Point and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch. They have lots of picnic tables in this area and restrooms. Many roadside pullout areas and parking lots to get to all the viewpoints along the canyon. When traveling deep into the canyon the canyon dropoff is on both sides of you....quite a thrilling experience! I recommend getting to sunrise/sunset point as early as you can because it gets quite busy with visitors. Once you find parking there is nice large concrete walkway that join Sunrise and sunset points together.

We went in early November and the crowds weren't to bad. The visitors center was still open even with the government shutdown. The views were stunning and breathtaking. Wish we could have had more time to do some of the hikes but we will definitely be coming back to see more.

Breathtaking views! I think winter is the best time to visit as the hikes are doable (we did the 3 mile hike which made us sweat as well lol). The beautiful skies add up to the wonderful snow capped mountains which are visible even at greater distances.

Gorgeous. Don’t be afraid to go in a few basic hikes; they’re well worth it. Visit the welcome center and talk to one of the park rangers at a desk and get a plan for each day. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend specific hikes that were within our capabilities, including secret gems.

The views are breathtaking! We didnt realize that you could not view the entire park from this location. This park has 3 hiking trails and an over look. The park pass is valid for 7 days and lets you in at all the entrances. There was not a huge crowd which was nice and lots of parking. We are definitely glad we got to see this side.

Absolute beauty on the West side of Zion National Park. This is the quiet side of the park - absolutely worth a visit. Camping along La Verkin Creek is exquisite, fresh water readily available via two different springs - this area has everything to love for a day hike, a single night backpack, or as a stop along the Zion Traverse.

One of the hidden gems in Utah, it’s just outside Zion National park (another beautiful place). Kolob Canyons has 3 hiking trails, each with its own difficulty. A 1 mile easy hike (timber creek) an amazing lookout spot, a 4 total mile Taylor creek trail, and a 14 mile Kolob arch trail. I recommend going here!

Kolb canyon is such a hidden treasure which is right off highway 15. The red canyons are so amazing to see. It is the back side of Zion. Hardly any people and traffic just views upon views.

Prepare for the unforgettable vistas as you ascend this stunning five-mile drive through Kolob Canyon as some of the most incredibly breathtaking views reveal themselves around its every twist and turn.

Beautiful here. Easy hiking trails and plenty of restrooms if needed. Clean park plus so beautiful!

Visited October 20, 2024 October 20, 2024 Ashley and I drove up Kolob Canyon a 5 mile drive up to the overlook and drove back some. We stopped at different pull offs to see the different views in Zion National Park.

The Narrows felt like a scene after a typhoon, went the weekend before Labor Day and it was packed! The water wasn’t clear at all, but it was still super fun and thrilling. Definitely rent shoes and walking sticks—it’s slippery. Bring some snacks and water. If you’re visiting Zion, this is a must-do!

Amazing and fun hike for the family!!! One of the best hikes I have done! The hike can be as long or as short as you like, as the real beauty is the path. Some people recommend special socks, water shoes, and hiking sticks. I do recommend a hiking stick, but I used an actual stick I found in the desert that worked great and wore quality water shoes. There was one place towards the beginning that we were in water chest deep, so do keep in mind that you can get really wet depending on how high the water currently is. We were there at the very end of June and the water was pretty cold, but our feet got used to it fast! There is also a little water fall towards the beginning of the river and fun side trails later on down the path. The shade covered us the whole hike, but we were on the trail by 8:00am and stayed for about 4 hours total. A must do if you are in Zion!!!

It was quite an adventure. Bring water and snacks. A stick is a must it really helps walking over rocks. We got there by 8am. Took the shuttle to stop 9. We walked about 1 mile to the start. We walked for about 4 miles in the narrows and turned around. We had couple young kids they were tired couldn't go any more. It took about 3 hours to go up and about 1 hour to come back down. Its a real adventure. $30 water shoes from Amazon worked really well. The water was very cold at first especially when it went up to your belly. But once that sun comes out and into the canyon it feels really good to rest and let the sun hit you and warm you up.

Our Zion National Park visit centered on The Narrows, an unforgettable water hike. By 8:10 a.m., the Visitor Center parking was full, so we parked at Stop 2 and took the shuttle to Stop 9. Thanks to my wife’s planning, we rented water shoes and hiking sticks, making the four-hour trek more enjoyable. The towering canyon views were stunning, and the kids had a blast! At one deep section, the water reached my waist, and I helped them across—an exciting challenge. You need to experience The Narrows at least once in your life.

The Narrows is the most unforgettable hike of my life. Imagine wading directly into the Virgin River, surrounded by thousand-foot canyon walls that rise dramatically on both sides. It’s not just a hike; it’s an adventure. Hot tip: bring hiking poles or at least a walking stick and shoes/boots and clothes you don’t mind getting soaked. First, getting there…you must either take the park shuttle or bike in, no private vehicles are allowed. It sounds like a pain, it isn’t, trust me. Ample parking is available near the visitors center near the shuttle stop. Then you’re on your way. Take it to the last stop, Temple of Sinawava then hike an easy paved trail to the “entry” aka the water. The river is your trail, and every step is both exhilarating and humbling. Sometimes the water is ankle-deep, other times it reaches your waist/chest and with every bend you discover new perspectives on this awe-inspiring canyon. The cool water, the echo of footsteps and laughter, the sheer scale of the rock walls, it’s a sensory experience unlike anything else. The beauty also is, you can go as far or as little as you want! My wife and I took this on and were absolutely blown away. It challenged us, yes, but it also rewarded us with memories we’ll never forget. Standing there, looking up at the towering cliffs and realizing how small you are; it’s a perspective shift you can’t get anywhere else. If you do one hike in Zion, make it The Narrows. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that leaves you both exhausted and exhilarated, and it will stay with you forever.

What a hike, water is cold and deep in many areas. This place can get very packed especially in the beginning. Highly recommend a walking stick and good water shoes as the rocks will destroy your feet and ankles.

I don't think words or photos can truly convey this experience. You just have to go and do it yourself. I will say that you don't really need the boots and neoprene socks that the outfitters outside the park have to rent. I think the only thing are either hiking poles or a sturdy hiking stick.

Great October hike at sunrise! We got our permit for the first time slot of the day, which was great. We took the first park shuttle of the day and were within the first few hikers of the day on the trail, so we didn't run into anyone on the way up Angels Landing. This hike was super fun to do. It is definitely impressive which gives a sense of pride when you complete it. I did not think it was too hard physically. It can definitely be scary in some areas though. I witnessed people turning back because it was too scary for them. I now get what the hype is all about. Get your permit and do the hike, you won't regret it.

Visiting Angels Landing was absolutely unforgettable! The views from the top were breathtaking, with incredible scenery in every direction. The hike itself was challenging but totally worth it once you reach the summit. The trail was well-maintained, and there were plenty of spots to stop and take photos. I’d recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of those places that truly reminds you how beautiful nature can be!

The hike is challenging but so worth it. I came down backwards which made it so mush easier. View is gorgeous along the way. It’s not as scary as shown in the online videos when you actually get on the trail.

Beautiful and Breathtaking hike! Be sure you are up for a challenge! There is a lot of high drop offs and your walking along edges. But it’s worth it! I am glad we went in October and not during peak season, it’s a small walking path for people in both directions and you have to wait for people to pass by before you can go.

Angel’s Landing is a stunning trail with some seriously out-of-this-world views. It’s not an easy hike, especially if you’re a beginner but totally worth it for the scenery. I went at the end of October, and even then it was hot and sunny, so I highly recommend starting early to beat the heat and the crowds. Bring lots of water. I didn’t go all the way to the peak with the chains (it gets pretty intense), but even stopping before that, the views were incredible. You don’t have to do the final stretch to enjoy the experience.

This hike is not for the faint of heart or anyone with a terrible fear of heights, but also the best hike I have ever done. The views are gorgeous, the chains area gets your adrenaline going, and finishing the hike feels so rewarding. Definitely dangerous, so must be physically able! I wouldn’t ever recommend this to children or elderly. To do the chains you must have a permit. But anyone can do the hike before that and get an incredible view at Scout Lookout before that if they don’t mind switchbacks! We went in June and on the trail at 7:30 am to beat the heat and the crowd, which worked great for us as it started getting much more crowded at the end. I recommend starting as early as possible. Keep in mind you will have to take their bus shuttle to the hike entrance and parking at the entrance of the park is near impossible to find if you arrive theater in the day.

This trail was one of the toughest I've tackled in my 15 years of hiking. I'd still recommend it 100% to those who can handle the challenge. Just be sure to bring plenty of water - more than you think you'll need. And if you're afraid of heights, this trail might not be for you.

We had an absolute BLAST! We went on the 4 hour sunset tour and are so glad we did. It was between this and another activity, and this tour did not disappoint! My husband and our friend voted this the best way to end our time in the area before returning home to Illinois the next day. Jack was an amazing tour guide full of knowledge and entertaining jokes. He made sure to explain things clearly (made this novice feel comfortable) and always made sure to watch the group to ensure everyone's safety! We can't wait to come back to Zion National park and bring our kids and will definitely plan to do this again!

My mom and I did the sunset-chasing ATV tour, and it was absolutely incredible! Our guides, Will and Dave, were both awesome — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so much fun. Will went out of his way to make sure my mom was comfortable and confident the whole time, which meant so much to us. The sand dunes were amazing, and the views at sunset were just breathtaking — photos don’t do it justice. Everything felt safe, well-organized, and full of good vibes. We couldn’t recommend this experience more! If you’re anywhere near southern Utah, go see it — it’s an absolute must-do.

Dave was the best tour guide we have ever had!!! Me and my wife went with ATV offroad adventures and we are so glad we did. We highly recommend this experience for everyone. Jason the owner is a great guy and we enjoyed talking with him about the experience.

Absolutely amazing! I don't remember the tour guides name but he's leaving to be a boat captain in Hawaii. He was super relaxed and personable. Great method of taking beginners through a diverse landscape with plenty of local knowledge as well.

We had a killer morning on a guided tour with Jason. He showed us some incredible spots that were perfect for our skill level. Some rock crawling and some sand. The Can-Am machines we used were super sweet! I’ve been to hurricane 100 times but never knew what playground existed around us. Unforgettable experience!

We had such a great time with William as our tour guide through the Sand Hollow area! We used ATV Offroad bc they were the only outfitters that has single seat ATVs and, well, all five of us wanted to drive! We had a new rider and William, with the help of Dave, were very patient and helpful in making our new rider feel safe and included in everything. We loved that we made stops along the way to learn about the area and the geography, and bc driving for 4 hours straight would have been a little miserable. I HIGHLY recommend this company if you are going to rent ATVs or UTVs in the area. Thanks for a great time! Highlight of our trip.

We grew up in Saint George & decided to play tourist during our recent visit home. We booked an all day side by side tour with ATV Offroad Adventures after extensive research & recommendations from others. Our tour did not disappoint. The crew arrived timely & was chipper to get us underway. They had everything we could have thought of: gloves, glasses,helmets, & a really cool souvenir neck gaiter. Jack was an amazing guide, he is hilarious, knowledgeable, a great instructor ,courteous, & made our adventure so worth it. Safety always came First & our routes & expectations were always communicated very clearly. We rode through amazing dunes, banked turns and all different terrain. We got to stop and learn about the area where Jack taught us some awesome facts even our local family members didn't know. There were opportunities for our younger adventures to climb rocks & dig in the sand (with parental supervision of course)They provided lunch which was so much better than we expected (no PBJ's here) jack will gladly take your cookies off your hands is you don't want them. Everyone In our group enjoyed themselves from the 11 year old to grandparents. Thank you Jack for an unforgettable adventure. We will see you next time!

Best friends is definitely a must visit. We are from Cincinnati & have visited a few times. Well this time after touring the sanctuary we met some of the Texas flood rescues and came home with a dog! Bear friends helped us find a safe way to get her home. Tours are free, funny, & informative. The volunteers & workers are sweet and really engage with you in your. Greet for kiddos

So, probably a good idea to plan your stop in advance. We didn't. They have plenty of tours, but it looks like most are in the morning. Enough about our mistake. The self-guided tour is pretty epic anyway. You do get to go into one of the many cat houses and interact with the kitties. And you can see just a few of their hundreds of dogs at the adoption center. This place is doing great work.

This place was so much fun. The lunch was amazing. Especially for $5. And the view from the patio was so pretty. Everyone was so welcoming. The tours were super cool and the animals are so well behaved. The cats were great with children which was a relief with my 3 year old wanting to pet them.

I am a monthly donor so I wanted to see how my donations were being used. I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful town called Kanab. It's breaktaking views will make you appreciate the work of God. I enjoyed all 3 tours that I went on ( the grand sanctuary tour, goat walking and pig tour, and bunny tour). I learned something about goats on the tour. You're not supposed to feed male goats a lot of fruit because it can cause lead to crystallization within their urethra. I fed some goats grapes and leaves at the vineyard because they acted hingry. But i will not do that again. I recommend that you spend two days so you can take all of the tours. The cafe provides a delicious $5 vegan lunch with a million dollar view. I love how the pigs have air conditioning on their houses to keep them cool. This sanctuary has a building to care for cats with Feline Leukemia Virus. They are no kill so any animal that ends up here has a home for life. And last but not least, this sanctuary is completely ran off volunteers and donations. So please donate so we can save them all.

My 4th visit to Best Friends but this time arranged a highly successful group volunteer visit for Sisters on the Fly with the BFAS Group Experience Team. Our hearts were filled with the BFAS mission and vision through volunteering, touring and making parrot enrichment toys. A 3-day event easily could have been a few days longer for us. Yummy, outdoor, vegan lunches at picturesque Angel's Village Cafe were 'icing on the cake.'

I’ve wanted to visit Best Friends for decades! So happy to finally get to see this magnificent sanctuary in memory of Toots. Everything about it is perfect. Yeah, I cried. Sacred experience for me ❤️

We have visited this beautiful place more than once! Enclaved within the red rock beauty and near Zion National Park this place is truly magical. There is a tour although not as it used to be. Worth a visit and go ahead and adopt a pet..

A very scenic nature wonder with unique features. A paid parking lot is available near the spot. It requires a 10 min hike on a well delimited path. Make sure you get a bottle of water with you and take your time at the view points. Expect crowds, the location is very popular, even during a work day.

I'm giving it a 5 star only because of the spectacular view. Well maintained gravel walkway with some shaded seating areas. Maybe sort of ¾ mile walk one way. Just to park was expensive. $5.00 for motorcycle, $10.00 for car , I think $15 for RV .

This is an easy side visit in the Page, AZ hub of great sites to visit. It's a long gradual downgrade hike, about 1/2-3/4 mile hike to the overview. Of course that means it's an up hill climb on the return hike. There are 2 shaded rest spots along the trail. There a $10 entry fee and plenty of parking space. You can see from the many photos posted how great the view is.

Awesome site to see, pictures don't do it justice! The entire area around the viewpoint is a lot of fun with lots of scrambling opportunities! A lot of great viewing areas away from the tourist crowds at the main viewpoint. Highly recommend!

I’m speechless at the beauty of Horseshoe Bend. I was about to skip it on my way to Antelope Canyon, but since we arrived early, we decided to give it a chance, and it became one of the most incredible memories of our lives. Just be careful near the edges so you don’t fall! 😃

What a stunning view! Be prepared for a decent amount of people, but there is still many areas to walk and explore and amazing spots to take photos from!

Third time visiting here today and really beautiful in the overcast weather. The outskirts of the bend were really green with all the rain.

Antelope Canyon honestly felt like one of the biggest tourist traps I’ve ever experienced. Tickets are extremely expensive over $100 per person for what is basically a short guided walk through the canyon. Yes, the rock formations are beautiful, but the whole experience felt more staged than authentic. Our guide was friendly, but right before entering he told everyone to switch their cameras to the “vivid warm” setting so the colors would pop more in photos. That’s the moment I realized it was more about creating Instagram pictures than actually appreciating the natural wonder. It felt forced, and honestly, a bit like a scam. The tour itself was rushed, with groups lined up one after another. We were constantly told where to stand and how to pose for photos, which made it feel less like exploring nature and more like being herded through a photo studio. It was also crowded, noisy, and hard to actually take in the canyon without bumping into another group. For the price, I expected something longer, calmer, and more meaningful. Instead, it was over in less than an hour and felt like nothing more than a very expensive photo op. Overall, Antelope Canyon is beautiful but massively overpriced, crowded, and commercialized. If you’re looking for a real nature experience, you’ll be disappointed.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful and surreal places on Earth — a true natural wonder! But you can't get in for free! Keep in mind that the ticket costs around $150! The colors, the shapes, the light beams cutting through the narrow walls — it’s like walking inside a living piece of art. Every step feels magical, and every photo looks unreal. 📸 However, it’s important to know that entry to Antelope Canyon is only possible with a guided tour — you can’t explore it on your own. It’s located on Navajo land, and access is strictly controlled to protect the site and ensure safety. Tours can be a bit pricey, but they’re worth it — guides help you find the best angles for photos and share stories about the canyon’s history and meaning. If you don’t manage to book a tour or want to explore on your own, don’t worry — there are plenty of beautiful free spots nearby! You can visit Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, or drive through the desert roads around Page — the landscapes there are stunning and completely open. 🌄 Antelope Canyon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the whole area around it is breathtaking too — full of places where you can feel the same spirit of the American Southwest. ❤️

We did the Upper Antelope Canyon tour and were rendered speechless at the beauty therein. Our guide, Mike, is amazing at capturing photos with whatever cellphone he was presented with.

Having visited one of my travel bucket lists with my bf finally during US Trip in Oct this time!! It’s an absolutely breathtaking spot which is surreal and stunning for the artistry of nature. It’s in Arizona & located on Navajo Nation land. This magnificent spot is well-known for its sculpted sandstone walls and the light beams that illuminate the passages. The spectacular scenery looks so unreal when it exists in front of me!! This spot must take a guided tour to enter and it’s available to choose either the Upper or Lower sections and we finally went for Upper one as the original tour to Lower section is being cancelled due to flood warning. Although it’s more costly than lower section, we were glad that we have made this decision as the tour guide was so professional to have photo shooting for us with the best angles (capture the most memorable moments!!) as well as share the history of Canyon. To supplement from some research earlier, the best moment to visit Upper Antelope will be Mar - Oct during midday (1100-1300) in which sun is high enough to create famous light beams. If you will visit Arizona, it’s highly recommend to feature it into your itinerary and is definitely a place that must visit once in a lifetime!

My sister and I road tripped from FL to AZ specifically to tour the Upper and Lower Canyon! Worth the drive! My husband now wants to do the same trip next year and tour the Canyons! Best trip and experience of my life!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most unique natural features you’ll ever see! It’s stunningly gorgeous and walking through the canyon feels almost otherworldly at times. While the guided tour is expensive and moves you through the canyon quickly, there are other slot canyons in the same area you can explore if you want a different experience. We appreciated the guide’s tips for where to take photos, as she revealed unique shapes that only become visible from certain angles as the light hits the canyon. Would have loved to take the photography tour, but unfortunately we were short on time and the lower canyon tours were cancelled due to recent rainfall.

What can I say what an experience this was , the tour guide took the time out with everyone and put himself out to be as helpful as he could . It was very enjoyable and amazing to see something different and amazing around every corner . Well worth a visit if you're in that part of the USA . We had such a lovely time and made another fabulous memory. I would highly recommend paying it a visit it's very photogenic so have plenty of space for pictures.

Very cool! Glad I stopped to see it. The have it set up nicely. Even though you can on go out so far (to prevent humans from damaging it) you still can see how everything was setup and the way of life. The visitors center has a lot of information and items to buy (I got a mug).

Awesome sunrise and sunset shoots at wukoki Pueblo. Great sunrise at the Wuptaki pueblo, barely any ppl here, lovely dark sky park for astrophotography, bathrooms at most Pueblos, easy walking distance to view each Pueblo.

We drive to the park, but the park was closed. Looking some structure, sink hole and beautiful view.

Very cool ruins. The house structure was neat and my husband was very impressed with the blow hole that blows cold air.

Wupatki is a well preserved gem and a must visit place if you're interested in ruins. It is a place that gives you a true sense of what living must have been like in the harsh environment of the area. Never crowded and easy to get to. You could explore here all day and not seeing everything

We decided to drive through Wupatki, Az. It was really amazing to see these structures that were built so long ago still standing. You are allowed to walk on the ruins. The natural blow hole was interesting. The hat kept getting stuck on the bill. The rangers were so nice and informative. We saw a raven and it was really friendly too . Haha

What a great experience, from the pueblos to being able to hike in a lava field, this was awesome!! The "mothers breath" vent that blew COLD air, I did not want to leave!

Highly recommend for visiting! It was very interesting to see really crater and visited museum and trued astronauts foods… Nice point!

Definitely one of my favorite parks. If you're going to be in the area, it's absolutely worth a stop. If you're looking for a spot to camp for free, basically all of the roads outside the park allow dispersed camping.

Beautiful crater with an interesting history as to its formation and magnitude. Trails at the base offer unique views.

Small, but wonderful park. It doesn't seem as over run with people as some ofvthe others. Very peaceful. It's a shame that so much of the park was burned in a fire in '22. Some of the trails are closed. Still some very interesting walks to take, getting up close the the lava. Beautiful views. Nice visitors center.

We were there on Dec. 4.2023. We had Ben hear back on April 2018. We found this place simply awesome . Seeing the lava flows. Around and the nice walk ways around the Crater part is really nice also have nice trials to walk on to . There where area when come in to park you can pull off and get a good Picture of the Sunset Crater . And the Mountains behind you when there they had snow on them . It was really pretty to see.

We love coming here, it's peaceful, has great trails and I love the "crunch- crunch" sounds when walking on the rocks of the lava flow. Beautiful!!

Neat place to observe volcano(s). Lots of plants growing in the lava remains and nice trails

Snowbowl in Flagstaff is always a great time during snow season! If you’re looking for family fun, the gondola ride is a must. For those who love snowboarding or skiing, the slopes are fantastic—just be mindful, your speed can pick up pretty quickly. Even if you’re not hitting the slopes, the atmosphere alone makes it worth the trip. And if you happen to forget something, their shop has everything you need to make the most of your snow day. Highly recommend!

This is the first time I’ve ever given a review that’s not five stars—and unfortunately, it’s due to the worst customer service I’ve received, especially from a manager, at the Snowbowl Store next to the Gondola ride. On September 28th, our group of five came for the Gondola scenic ride. It was raining and cold, but our excitement to see the mountain wasn’t dampened. As season pass holders, we visit often in the winter and were eager to see the fall colors. However, we underestimated how cold it would be that day. The ride operator kindly told us that the store sold blankets and jackets, so we went inside. I printed our passes and purchased a blue blanket (around $20 and it just had a price sticker with no tag tied on it, it’s probably returned by someone but I didn’t give it much thought) and two jackets (around $240 total). We placed our water bottles and an extra jacket we’d brought into the large bag given to us, went up the ride, and enjoyed what little scenery we could see—it was foggy but still a nice experience. We planned to come back later if the weather cleared up. After coming down, I remembered that we never used the blanket, so I decided to ask if I could return it. The cashier politely asked if it had been used, and I said, “Not at all, since we ended up using the jackets.” She went to ask her manager, and while waiting, I picked up a few small items for the kids. When the manager came out, he asked, “Why did you buy the blanket?” I explained that it was in case it got too cold, but we forgot about it and never used it while feeling his judgement in his eyes. Then he said, “We are not runing a rental shop here. You know what I believe? I think you used it and now want to return it…” I was stunned by that accusation and said, “I swear to God, I did not use it.” He replied that it was not returnable—though there were no signs anywhere in the store stating that. I, suck at arguing, walked away soon after. If he had simply said from the start, “Sorry, we don’t accept returns,” I would have understood. I spent over $400 in that one hour between the jackets and lift tickets. I wouldn’t have minded the no-return policy for $20ish but the fact that he accused me of lying made it the worst experience I’ve ever had as a customer. I left angry and disappointed, telling myself I wouldn’t spend another penny there. Unfortunately, since I already purchased the 2026 season pass, I’ll have to return. Then a couple of days later I read in a holy writing that if someone wrongs you, forgive them immediately so I’ve made peace with this unpleasant experience. However, during a family dinner last weekend when my family asked about our trip and I shared the experience, they encouraged me to leave a review—so that this kind of behavior might be corrected. To be fair, most of the staff member we’ve met at Snowbowl over the years has been wonderful. We’ve had many great experiences skiing there with our kids… But you know what they say about one bad apple… I wouldn’t wish anyone to experience what we experienced… So watch out and hope you have a good time.

We had a fantastic time yesterday here . The area is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained too ! The hamburger and fries were delicious too . There were many activities for the whole family . Awesome customer service too . We will definitely be back soon . Have a blessed day 😇

We met a super friendly man here. He helped us to go from the ticket purchase place to the ski place 😍 You can shop the ticket both online and offline. Recommend to shop it online so you can go straight to the ski center.

I visited in early August to see the Aspen leaves flutter. It was extremely peaceful with beautiful views. The gondola was working but I didn’t try it. 100% you should make time to visit.

If you're looking for a great place to snowboard in Arizona, this is pretty much the only spot—but luckily, it's a solid one. I had an awesome time hitting the slopes with my friends. The runs are fun and well-maintained, with options for both beginners and more experienced riders. The views from the mountain are amazing, especially on a clear day. The rental process was smooth, and the staff was helpful. It can get a little crowded on weekends, but that’s expected at a popular spot. Overall, if you're in Arizona and want to snowboard, this is the place to go. Definitely recommend!

Visited the Arizona Snowball this August with my kids. We rode the gondolas to the top, got out and walked around for a bit, and took in the views. I had purchased my tickets earlier in the week and then noted before we headed up from Phoenix that the gondolas were on hold due to rain and lightning. The website said you could only get a rain check if you were present on site, so we drove up and hoped for the best. When we arrived the gondolas were still on hold. Customer service said that we could hang out and wait to see if they open up as the lightning seemed to have moved on or get a refund on a gift card to use in the future or other activities on site. Because there were other activities we decided to hang out. We purchased snow cones, played in the hamster wheel and poked around the gift shops. There was an event going on with a live band, a restaurant and a section that was for 21 and up only. They also had a bungee trampoline, and downhill tubing slides for kids. The gondolas did open up within about 30 minutes and we were good to go even with it sprinkling. The views from the top were beautiful. It seemed there were some hiking trails but they were closed presumably due to the rain and lightning.

We came here for our anniversary to explore Williams & take the train to the cabin. The experience & area were fantastic! The train ride was so beautiful & fun. For food, there were local places that we enjoyed, but we also did visit the buffet diner attached to the hotel for breakfast & it wasn't bad at all. The speakeasy style bar in the hotel was nice, but Historic Brewing Company is unbeatable & quite close. The rooms were a little dated but clean. Not an awful place to sleep, but didn't inspire any excitement by itself. We also visited the indoor pool & hot tub, but they seemed a bit grungy, so we abstained. Very beautiful area tho & the service was great. We had an overall great time!

Our stay was awesome! We purchased a package deal and all the details were arranged including meals and train tickets. All staff were courteous and outgoing. A big surprise was the grounds were decorated for Christmas with carols playing throughout the premises. Rooms were very comfortable and from desk was very responsive. Train ride to the canyon was very memorable. Highly recommend this experience!

The Wild West adventure that is the Grand Canyon Railway & Hotel was a perfect treat on our road trip around the area. We chuckled at the cowboy shootout to start our day, marveled at the sights up to the Grand Canyon - and of course we were awe struck with the Grand Canyon, which you’ve got just enough time to really experience. We highly suggest the bus tour, that made things super easy and we were guaranteed to be back with just enough time. HOT TIP: You can skip the lunch and tour combo. The lunch is middle of the road at best and nothing special when you have access to other options while you’re up there. We thoroughly enjoyed the domed train cabin and after walking through the other cars were glad we paid the extra money for it. Nancy was our stewardess hostess and bartender, she was lovely! The hotel is a great location and well priced for the bundle with the train ride experience. It’s worth the stay and the breakfast buffet was delish!

We spend one night at the hotel; Morning cowboy show was fun, we had a great time in the train, round trip first class was very comfortable, includes pastries, water, soft drinks, snacks, fresh veggies, fresh fruit, coffee and charcuterie board! Terryl was a great host in our parlor and shared many cool and interesting facts and stories during our rides :) Grand Canyon Village at South Rim was cute! We took the Red Line free buses stopped at every lookout and the GC views are delightful <3

Hotel is nice, service is great. Staff is pleasant and helpful. We did the train ride to GC and stayed the night at maswick lodge. I would say the only negative was when we returned I asked for a 2nd floor room again and was told our bags were already in room. Not sure why I couldn't move them but we just stayed in room they gave note. We did the included food breakfast and dinner. The food and buffet is good but if your not a big eater it's not worth it. If you like eat go for it ! You will have plenty.

Staying at The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel felt a bit luxurious. The warm, relaxing ambiance amidst famous artwork, Old-West architecture, and the beautiful central fireplace prompted casual conversations with newly met acquaintances in a wonderfully comfortable place. The hotel offers an indoor swimming pool and spa tub, along with other desirable amenities. A unique feature of the hotel is the Cowboy Show for entertainment. Travelers may board The Grand Canyon Railway just out from the rear entrance.

I can not say enough wonderful things about our whole experience at Grand Canyon train and hotel experience . Hotel 10/10, clean , staff polite, friendly, accommodating ! Train ride 10/10, we were in the luxury parlor car, Jenny was our hostess, fabulous. Food and drink satisfying. Loved the ride itself ! The level of organization regarding moving our luggage and explaining when and where we needed to be for transfers and meals etc , 10/10 . We recommend this experience to all !

This is worth every penny. It's a bit pricy at $30 per person until you're alive what you get. A self guided driving tour, then a walking zoo, and Moore! The animals are well maintained and the park itself is a sight! I would recommend 10 out 10 every time.

This was my 4th or 5th visit to Bearizona, so I clearly enjoy it. It's fun for children and adults of all ages. The drive through portion is really neat with lots of animals to see while they are in their natural habitat. We drove through three times this visit so we could see different behaviors at different times of day. The walk through area is also great and they have a restaurant with good food, a bar and other drink and snack options, shopping and more animals to see!

This was a very unique and wonderful experience! My 12 year old and my 76 year old mom both enjoyed it equally! The price is a bit high but we thought it was worth it. We came on a Saturday in early November and all the food stores were closed. I wish there was a little more activity or perhaps there is earlier in the day. The animals were phenomenal and the staff were very friendly

Very impressed with Bearizona in Williams AZ. Had heard good things from friends who had been but was even more impressed after being there! Most impressed with variety of animals and with the enclosures. In the drive through section, you get a close up look at black bears and Arctic wolves roaming freely throughout their habitat but feel very safe inside your vehicle. And the grizzly bears along the walking trail were very active and the story of their rescue was great to learn about.

A highlight of my trip to Arizona! It was so cool getting up close and personal (from within a car) to bears, deer, bison and more! The animals were calm and weren't stressed by being close to vehicles. You could even drive through the various areas as many times as you wanted to! The walk-through area was great too - the animals were active and obviously well cared for. The few that were sleeping looked very comfortable! The zookeepers seemed very well trained and were passionate about the animals. 10/10, would easily recommend!

Bearizona one of out favorite places to visit. You can drive through a path way and see all the wild life. Windows must remain up. After you can park and walk around the wild life zoo. We went in December and it was cold. Something to keep in mind. They have souvenir shops and café/ restaurants. This is the perfect activity for families and all ages.

What an Amazing Park! Drive through at your pace. See the animals up close & take fabulous pictures. The walk through is just as Amazing. The habitats are made so you can see the animals. What's great, is you can drive through again if you choose.

The rangers and volunteers here are so kind and sweet. Loved this park so much. Love that its less crowded too. Ive been to a few with native dwellings. I plan to see all of them. This one is in the top 3. Beautiful views.

The history here is incredible, what a great place to visit. You need to know that it is not a quick in and out if you want to hike the whole trail, and there are a billion, or maybe 10 billion stairs. 😄 But it really is a good hike, read up on it a bit before you go so you can see the significance of this awesome place. The visitors center has restrooms, information, and a small gift shop. There is the Rim trail also which is shorter and flat, in case the stairs are an issue. Plenty of parking too, I highly recommend.

Wulnut Canyon was a surprise for me and I would recommend to visit this place. Amazing walk and tour through the Canyon. There's a parking place on the front and you pay the National Park entrance fee what is valid for next 7 days if you visit again or other things in National Park. It's not valid for the Grand Canyon, you pay for that separately.

A wonderful experience exploring ancient cliff dwellings in a spectacular setting. Great visitor center with helpful park staff to learn about the villages and the people who once lived there. There are two paved trails, The Rim Trail with great overviews, and the Island Trail, which was my favorite. The Island Trail has more than 700 steps, and it takes you right up to the dwellings.

A Hidden Gem on the Road: Walnut Canyon National Monument During a road trip, we discovered Walnut Canyon National Monument by surprise, and it turned out to be a truly beautiful and unexpected place. It's a slice of nature that hides from the highway, revealing a spectacular landscape with ancient ruins. A Place to Explore and Enjoy: The park is very well-organized and maintained. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff is very friendly. Although it was a quick visit for us, we realized it's a place where you can stay as long as you like. There's a picnic area with breathtaking views of the canyon, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The site has a visitor center, a souvenir shop, and, most notably, trails that lead down into the canyon. These paths allow visitors to get a closer look at the ruins, which are like "houses" built into the canyon walls by past civilizations. Although we didn't have time to do these hikes, they looked safe and well-marked. A Worthwhile Destination: In summary, Walnut Canyon National Monument is a tranquil and beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. It's a perfect addition to a road trip and a gem we hope to explore with more time in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place! The scenery is breathtaking and the trails are very well maintained. A special thank you to Ranger Lucy — she was so kind, caring, and incredibly patient with us, even though we arrived about 20 minutes before closing time. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel so welcome. Her dedication truly made our visit extra special. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

Walnut Canyon National Monument is absolutely stunning. It does not require a long hike and you can take in so much of the canyon with just a short walk. The staff here was so friendly and helpful. The views were stunning and very much worth stopping by.
