There have been a significant amount of changes to the way that things are done in 2020, with regard to entertainment options. The Coronavirus pandemic has caused multiple iterations as far as regulations and suggestions for behavior, which are then confusing and difficult for many people. Not only has 2020 resulted in a lockdown that has trapped people in their homes, it has given little as far as ways to entertain yourself outside of your own surroundings. People enjoyed getting out and about found that their options were extremely limited, and the necessary social distancing that would keep people safe just added to the difficulties with regards to entertainment options. It’s no surprise that one of the most popular online searches over the course of the last year has been finding out information on weather national park spaces our open and operational or not. There has been confusion as far as visitation to these regions, because they are operated by the Federal government and are not able to be entered without authorization. This means that during normal circumstances there would be no issues at all simply driving to the nearest national park that you want to visit and paying the fee to enter. Because restrictions have been imposed to limit the amount of people gathering at destinations that are considered tourism oriented, Federal government has decided to restrict the amount of people that can enter national park spaces during 24 hour periods of time in some circumstances. This means that you can no longer simply drive to the national park that you wish to visit and enter. Now you need to secure a reservation before hand, many times this means that you will need to secure that reservation upwards of a month in advance. Even those with national park passes there are not able to enter without reservations.

We can operate under our commercial licensing to gain entry for our groups, meaning that even if you have not secured the reservation to a place like Bryce and Zion, you can still enter the park as part have one of our tours.

2020 has brought about a huge amount of changes in the private tours market, mostly due to the fact that specific precautions must be taken in order to keep guests safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the precautions that must be taken have a larger effect on group tours that are combinations of several groups into the larger party, many precautions must also be taken within private tour aspect as well. For example, even though everyone in the group is known to you, we will still require masks to be worn at all times by both members of your party as well as the tour leader and driver. This is because we are all being transported from the starting point to the location you have booked inside of a vehicle that ultimately has recirculated air moving about.

We fully sanitize all aspects of our vehicles before anyone from your party will board so as to assure that there is no transference of virus from the previous group to use that vehicle. All of our typical communal aspects of that tour have been transitioned over to being single use, and we’re also providing both solo tents as well as private rooms if these are requested. Our greatest concern is the safety and well being of our guests, so as to assure you that not only will you have an adventure that is unforgettable but also will let you rest assured that you are safe from contracting any virus from outside parties as a result of insufficient social distance or lack of planning.

2022 has brought a world of changes to the travel industry, and as a result has brought a significant amount of confusion as far as what is available and what is not. This stage it is best to verify in advance all aspects of a planned trip, specifically because there is a possibility that things that have never had issues in the past with regards to being open and available are now potentially closed during these unique times.

While this might mean you are still able to go through the gates, it does not necessarily mean that the entire park will be open and available for touring. Many of the more popular stop in points and exploration areas within our nation’s national parks have been either closed to visitor traffic or are only operating in a limited capacity. To go to an area like Yosemite at this point requires a daily permit that must be secure word online in advance. Those who simply show up at the gates of the park are not allowed entrance, no matter how far they have driven or how many types of passes they have. Anyone who has not secured their permit upwards of a month in advance will not be allowed entry.

Through our commercial licensing as well as our ability to obtain permits for anytime we have a tour, we can now experience these fantastic areas with a significantly reduced amount of outside interference from other tourists or groups. The limitation on the amount of people allowed in the park gives us the ability to essentially “at the park to ourselves” in many ways.

Private Luxury Adventure Tours

There are different levels of national parks tours that are designed for different types of people.

The more adventurous of us are seeking the ability to be transported to these types of areas and be given the amount of guidelines and direction that we choose. We are seeking more of a kind who is not simply providing information about the area but instead is providing an intimate knowledge of this region from an exploration standpoint. Thinking of our guides as a private Sherpa is far more in line with this type of adventurous mentality, and our product line caters to this aspect for all levels of our tours.
