Guided small group

A dozen people, a Sprinter with captain chairs, and a guide for the whole route. Park fees, lodging and the driving are all handled.

What a guided small group trip is

The core of what this operator does. A group in the low double figures, a Sprinter with captain chairs rather than a coach, and one guide for the whole route instead of a new local guide each morning.

Park entry fees, lodging and the driving are handled, which is most of the friction in a multi-park itinerary โ€” the Colorado Plateau parks are hours apart on roads that fill in summer, and the driving between them is a real part of the day.

They range from a single day to a fortnight, and the activity level varies with the route rather than with the format. A trip described as moderate here means real walking on most days, not a viewpoint and a car park.
