What people love about USA Tours in May
- Best of Utah & Arizona National Parks
Fantastic experience - efficient use of time, great itinerary. Well-informed and interesting guide who is also just a great person.
- 7 Day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Camping Tour
"Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon all in one trip, you can't go wrong, each place has so many unique things to see. My favorite thing was the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, you get to see the South and North Rim and you just cannot imagine the beauty, it was an emotional and spiritual experience. Vern was our Expert Team Leader and we all found him to be Intriguing, Engaging, Larger than Life and so much Fun. I would love to take another journey with him. No one was left behind and I believe our experienced hikers were challenged. Our group was Amazing. You get to take a slice of each park with you and will have you yearning for more. My husband and 11 year old son have memories they will never forget. I was skeptical about camping but it was so much fun, and the food was delicious, Vern was an excellent cook as well. Still amazed at how smooth and organized everything was. Miles was new and was a great help with everything. Don't forget to bring a rain coat/rain cover, we did get weather but we all were prepared.A must see for all lovers of nature, can't stop thinking about this trip. My least favorite thing was leaving.
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
Mike and Bindlestiff provided my daughter and I an amazing vacation. The history, geology and personal stories about the land that Mike told as we drove from place to place was priceless. Mike provided personal recommendations for each tour stop that met our needs. We saw and learned things about the Southwest USA that we never would have if we had planned the trip ourselves. I’m already looking into booking a trip for next year.
What our customers ask about USA Tours in May 2025
What is the weather like in USA's national parks during May?
The American Southwest's national parks offer comfortable temperatures in May that are ideal for outdoor exploration. The Grand Canyon maintains temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C) which works well for South Rim trail excursions. Zion National Park temperatures range from 75-85°F (24-29°C) with minimal rain while Bryce Canyon stays cooler at 60-70°F (15-21°C) due to its higher elevation. A TourRadar traveler noted "The May weather was perfect for exploring - warm enough for shorts during day hikes but cool enough to not be exhausting." Accommodation options like Ruby's Inn near Bryce Canyon and Goulding's Historic Lodge in Monument Valley provide convenient bases for enjoying the mild spring conditions.
What scenic drives are recommended in USA during May?
Spring conditions make May an excellent time for road trips through the American Southwest. The coastal 17-Mile Drive on the Monterey Peninsula offers clear ocean views while Monument Valley's roads wind through distinctive red rock formations. Arizona's portion of Route 66 comes alive with desert wildflowers. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The drive through Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona was breathtaking in May - perfect visibility and comfortable temperatures for frequent photo stops." Hotels including Harrah's Las Vegas and the Quality Inn Kanab provide good starting points for these road journeys.
How crowded are the major tourist attractions in USA during May?
May represents a sweet spot in tourism before summer crowds arrive at major USA destinations. Visitors to the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon find shorter lines and easier access to viewpoints compared to peak months. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We loved visiting in May because we could actually get photos without crowds at popular viewpoints and hotel rates at places like the LINQ were more reasonable." National parks such as Bryce Canyon and Zion operate at full capacity but with noticeably fewer visitors.
Are there any special events or festivals in USA during May?
The Southwest comes alive with cultural celebrations and natural events during May. Monument Valley features traditional Navajo spring ceremonies while Sedona holds its yearly Arts Festival. Las Vegas typically hosts the Electric Daisy Carnival this month. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide took us to an authentic Navajo trading post where we experienced local artisans and traditional spring dances - it was the highlight of our May trip." The Comfort Suites in Stevenson Ranch offers easy access to both cultural events and natural attractions.
What are the best hiking trails to explore in USA during May?
May presents optimal hiking conditions across the Southwest's trail networks. Zion National Park's Emerald Pools Trail features active spring waterfalls while Bryce Canyon's Queen's Garden and Navajo Loop showcase spring wildflowers. The Grand Canyon's Bright Angel Trail becomes more accessible with mild temperatures. A TourRadar traveler commented: "The Mist Trail to Vernal Falls in Yosemite was incredible in May - the waterfalls were powerful from spring runoff but the trail wasn't overcrowded." The Red Feather Lodge near Grand Canyon provides convenient trail access.
What are the best National Parks to visit in USA during May?
The Southwest's national parks shine in May before summer crowds arrive. Yosemite's waterfalls reach peak flow from spring melt while Zion's Emerald Pools and Temple of Sinawava trails display fresh spring growth. The Grand Canyon offers pleasant conditions for South Rim and Bright Angel Trail explorations. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Visiting in May meant we could do longer hikes without overheating and the wildflowers were blooming everywhere." The Clarion Inn in Page and LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas serve as practical bases for multi-park visits.
