When you come to Las Vegas for a vacation, you are probably looking for a few specific things, namely gambling and entertainment in the form of shows. However there is another type of tourist that comes to Las Vegas that is not necessarily looking for any of these things, this person actually using the city as a starting and ending point for national parks tours. Because of the close proximity of the city to numerous southwestern parks, many outdoors enthusiasts who have no interest in gambling book plane tickets and hotels in Las Vegas every year. They are actually interested in the entertainment that happens outside of the city in the wide open spaces that surround the city, and they are only really interested in the fact that Las Vegas as a tourist attraction itself offers them cheaper flights and hotels in a logical place to start their journey. If you do not live within a few hundred miles of the national park you want to visit, then you are going to probably spend more time driving than exploring, unless you fly into a nearby city and start the trip from that point. Las Vegas is a logical starting point for Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. Because of the large number of tourists who undertake this type of trip every year, there are opportunities for tours to be offered within the city as well, and this is exactly what Bindlestiff Tours is doing.
A large amount of the guests that Bindlestiff Tours escorts from Las Vegas to national parks in the region will also book a few extra days to explore the city itself. When you have come to a place like Las Vegas, it would be a shame to not explore the city for at least a few days, but the tourists that are interested in things like national parks are rarely going to spend too much of their time doing research on the best things to do in Las Vegas. As a result, they end up doing the most obvious tourist things, and ultimately will probably not enjoy themselves very much.
Bindlestiff Tours is now offering "foodie" tours of downtown and the strip. These are walking tours of several of the most iconic and famous restaurants in the area, where the group gets to take in the ambiance of the restaurant as well as sample several of the best dishes. These types of tastings are not available to single people who book a reservation, so they are perfect for the person with limited time to spend exploring the city and a desire to try some of the best food that is offered. There are no reservations necessary at the locations, and the large bills that would typically be part of a fine dining experience in Las Vegas do not apply. You will get to sample the best the city has to offer, and go home talking about all the great restaurants you tried and all the famous chefs who you ate their favorite dishes.

Tour The Canadian Rocky Mountains
Bindlestiff Tours is one of the most well known providers of national parks tours in the southwestern United States. The majority of their product line involves tours of national parks that are within a one-half day drive of Las Vegas, where they are headquartered. This provides a convenient starting point for travelers who can book an affordable room as their base of operations, or use their Las Vegas vacation as the starting point for the tour. The packages have traditionally involved the parks that are surrounding Las Vegas, including Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The reason that these tours are the primary focus of the business is because they can be reached from the starting point in Las Vegas within a one-half day drive, and in addition there are other tours like Death Valley which operates in the same way only it is a single day tour because it can be driven to and from in the same day. They offer a single day tour of Zion as well, due to the fact that it is only a 2.5 hour drive from Las Vegas, however the majority of single day tours are offered as private tours.
In 2018, Bindlestiff Tours is expanding their product line to offer a few new products that are not offered with Las Vegas as the starting point. The newest offering is a tour of the Canadian Rocky Mountains that leaves from Seattle and uses Vancouver as the base of operations once in Canada. The tour itself lasts seven days and includes Kamloops, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Ice Fields Parkway, Jasper National Park, Mount Robson, Clearwater, Whistler and Vancouver.
The group meets in Seattle on a specified date at a pickup point, and immediately crosses into Canada where Kamloops is the first stop. Each day will have a new adventure as your private tour guide takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery and hiking spots on earth, as experienced only the way a Bindlestiff Tour can be. We provide a type of tour called "adventure travel," where a guide who is an experienced traveler themselves brings small groups through the area in the way that an explorer would, instead of looking at scenery through the windows of a bus. The way that we structure our tours is more of an interactive platform, where our guests experience the area by actually interacting with it, hiking, camping and generally enjoying the special aspects of the area that we are touring. Our Canadian Rockies Tour is unlike any other tour you will ever take. If you are interested in booking our Canadian Rockies Tour, visit Bindlestiff Tours website today.

Canadian Rockies Tours
2018 is going to be an exciting year for Bindlestiff Tours,
as they are rolling out several new tour products that will be markedly
different than the packages they have traditionally offered in the past.
The difference will not be any kind of modification to the adventure style of
the tour, but instead will be to a new area. The newest tour offering
from Bindlestiff Tours will be to the Canadian Rockies, leaving from Seattle
and touring numerous scenic and protected spaces over the course of seven
days. Throughout the tour as always, Bindlestiff Tours provides
everything necessary for a fantastic time, and all a patron has to bring along
is their own sleeping bag. There are six nights of camping and one night
in a hostel involved int he tour, which crosses the border into Canada on day
one and returns to Seattle on the final day. Guests can expect days
filled with hiking, sightseeing and adventuring and nights camping under the
stars in some of the most breathtaking places on earth. There is literally nowhere
else in the world like the Canadian Rockies, and the expert tour guides of
Bindlestiff Tours will show you through the areas like you were a pioneer
exploring the completely uncharted places on earth.
The tour begins in the meeting place in Seattle, and crosses the border into Canada to stop first at Kamloops in British Columbia on day one. Here you will see some of the most fantastic wildlife on earth, and view cougars, bears and elk in the Thompson River Valley. You will see the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls, a nearly 200 foot water drop over smooth rock. Day two takes us to Yoho National Park where you will see the completely clear Emerald Lake before crossing the continental divide into Alberta. You will see Glacier National Park and Rogers Pass before spending the night in Banff, a fun little town. Day three brings us to Banff National Park and Lake Louise. We hike the Plain Of Six Glaciers and then visit Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Here you will be able to get some absolutely epic photographs. Day four is wildlife viewing and hiking in Icefields Parkway and Jasper National Park, and we camp overnight so as to spend the whole next day hiking in Jasper. On day six we explore Whistler and Vancouver, and then on day seven it is back to Seattle where the tour ends.
The Bindlestiff Tours tour of the Canadian Rockies is unlike anything else we offer, and allows our patrons to get a sense of something completely different than we have ever offered before. We have specialized in the American southwestern United States and national parks so that our guests understand that there is a better way to experience these places than looking at them through the windows of a bus. The Canadian Rockies tour is the same, only offering a different perspective on the open areas of the globe, and the wild adventure that can be had by allowing yourself to escape the city for a while. Once you have experienced an adventure tour by Bindlestiff Tours, you will never want to do it the old fashioned way again. The Canadian Rockies are a wild and unexplored place that you can feel at one with nature, and see what the world looks like without the interference of man. You have never seen a sky at night like these, and we are going to give you seven of them in a row. When you are ready to change your life, just go to our website for more information.

The Real Grand Canyon Tour
If you have arranged for a vacation to Las Vegas and are considering taking some time out of your trip to visit the Grand Canyon while you are here, it is important that you research the tout company that you will be using in order to make sure they are offering the product that you want. When tourists exit their plane at McCarran airport in Las Vegas, they are immediately greeted with billboards and advertisements for visiting the Grand Canyon and seeing the "skywalk." While there is surely nothing wrong with this trip, you will probably be surprised to find that the area does not look like you have seen in magazines and on television. This is because you are not actually visiting the Grand Canyon National Park if you book this tour, and are actually going to a different section of the Grand Canyon that is controlled by local Indian tribes.
The Grand Canyon National Park is located around 4.5 hours driving time from Las Vegas. At the park you will find all of the adventure and scenic views that you have seen before, along with the wildlife and plants. The views are spectacular from the famous lookout points, and you have more than enough to do in the area to spend your entire day exploring. There is ample hiking and helicopter riding, nature walking and photographic opportunities. The other rim of the canyon that is being advertised to you in the airport is actually located 2.5 hours away by car, and features a glass bridge that is suspended over the canyon floor. While this is far from natural, it is an attraction for some. The problem is that this area of the canyon is not as scenic as the main portion, and there is not nearly as much to do here. The Skywalk is available, but after you have don e that there is little else to do aside from maybe taking some pictures. The area is far more brown than green, and has a far different look than the beauty of the national park.
You will want to make sure that you ask your tour company if they visit the actual national park or another are of the canyon as part of the tour you are booking. While it is always great to visit any area of the Grand Canyon, seeing the part that is famous is probably going to be something you want to make sure you are doing. You can contact Bindlestiff Tours to provide you with real Grand Canyon National Park tours here. https://www.bindlestifftours.com/package/grand-canyon-overnight/

Zion Canyon Is One Of The Most Popular Parks
There was a time only a few years ago when the national parks located in America's southwestern region were struggling to get visitors. When they were created by the Antiquities Act, the culture of the country was quite different and families spent far more time together and outdoors. A popular family trip would be to drive to visiting national parks, and it was one of the aspects of life in America that was seen as patriotic. The parks were created for everyone, and visiting them in order to witness first hand the beauty and majesty that the country holds was a privileged to all people in the country. Over time people became more content to spend time indoors on computers, and as a result the interest in national parks began to diminish. Over time the tourism numbers at national parks got low enough that some politicians began to consider no longer providing federal funding for the upkeep and staffing, choosing instead to turn the parks over to the states. This would almost assure that the parks would be sold off for private development, as state budgets also did not have enough funding to cover the expenses. As a last ditch effort before considering such extreme measures, the decision to attempt to boost tourism through advertising was made. A campaign designed to raise awareness of the beauty of the national parks was put out, illustrating that they were closer than you think and you can drive to them from cities like Las Vegas in bout one-half a day.
Because the campaign was successful and raised the desire of American citizens to visit the national parks, the ones closest to the cities became more popular than others. One of the issues surrounding tourism at national parks is that they are not located very close to major hubs where airlines can fly in and out, leaving you with two real choices in the southwest. This choices of starting cities are Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, and Zion Canyon National Park is far closer to Las Vegas than any park is to Salt Lake City. This created a unique situation where the large numbers of tourists who frequent Las Vegas began allocating a day or two out of their vacation to visit a nearby national park. Because Zion was so much closer than all the rest, Zion became far more popular than them. The situation now stands that while other parks have seen boosts in visitors and are doing better than they were before, Zion is actually needing to consider methods of reducing traffic and congestion. Waits for some shuttles have now seen times of more than three hours, and parking in the lots is now at a premium. The best method of seeing Zion during your next Las Vegas trip is to book a tour provided by Bindlestiff Tours. Their Zion tours are packed with adventure, and you will never forget the beauty of Zion.

National Parks Near Las Vegas For Tours
Las Vegas is a wonderful city for tourism. It has been a fixture for the last 100 years as far as a place to go to enjoy yourself, and offers entertainment for nearly anyone at any price. The one thing Las Vegas is less well known for is outdoor activities, and even though many tourists are only thinking about casinos, there are actually quite a few hiking and outdoor activities that can be had within only a short trip from the city. While Red Rock Canyon is the most obvious because it is within only a few miles of downtown, there are actually quite a few national parks within a few hours drive from the city. Death Valley is very well knows as a destination to travel to from Las Vegas, primarily because those coming from California will actually pass parts of it on the way. While some might never think to stop because they have heard it is just a big area that is dry and hot, Death Valley National Park is actually one of the most unique and diverse climates in the world. It should be experienced by anyone interested in extreme weather, and how plants and animals adapt to extremes. It is far from desolate, and the residents have created modifications over thousands of years that allow them to thrive in the extreme heat with little water.
Zion Canyon National Park is only 2.5 hours drive from Las Vegas, and presents one of the best experiences in the American southwest for hiking and sightseeing. The canyon is absolutely breathtaking, and you will find it hard to believe that you are such a short drive from the city lights. Angel's Landing is some of the best hiking in the United States, so if you are an avid hiker or just a casual tourist who would like to see the unspoiled beauty of Zion, book a trip during your next vacation.
Additional parks that are within a 4 hour drive or so are Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Antelope Canyon is also in the vicinity of these other parks, but needs a guided tour and good weather to be visited. All these national parks have their own unique aspects that are totally different. Bryce has hoodoos that are not found at any of the other areas, Monument Valley has one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth and the Grand Canyon is considered a wonder of the world. These are all within a few hours drive of your hotel room in Las Vegas, so why not tour some National Parks on your next vacation?
If you are interested in touring National Parks from Las Vegas, it is best to let a professional company lead the way. You get to rest during the driving portions of the trip and are shuttled to the best areas of each park to explore and hike. Contact Bindlestiff Tours to find out more.
