What our customers ask about Utah Tours for Seniors
What type of accommodation can seniors expect on Utah tours?
The tours use practical 3-star hotels that work well for older travelers. The Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel, a frequent choice among tour operators, has elevators and large rooms that are easy to move around in. Hotels are picked based on their location - usually just a short walk from park entrances, which helps reduce walking time.
How physically demanding are the Utah national park tours for seniors?
The tours keep things at a steady, manageable pace. On the Mighty 5 tour, daily walks usually cover about 3 miles on well-maintained paths. Tour guides regularly offer easier options for travelers who need them. Places like Springhill Suites in Springdale give travelers a good spot to rest between activities.
What transportation is provided during Utah tours?
Tours run in Mercedes Sprinter vans equipped with captain's chairs that make getting in and out simple. These vans come with special suspension systems and plenty of space to stretch out, which helps make the longer drives between parks more relaxed.
What medical facilities are available during Utah tours?
While the parks themselves are in remote areas, tours stay in towns with medical care nearby. In Moab, for example, travelers often stay at the Moab Valley Inn, which is a quick drive from Moab Regional Hospital.
What is the typical age range for seniors on Utah tours?
Most senior travelers on these tours are between 65 and 71 years old. Intrepid Travel reports an average age of 65 on their tours, though they regularly welcome travelers well into their 90s.
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit Utah's national parks?
The most comfortable months for seniors to visit are April-May and September-October. During these times, the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists in the parks. Tour companies like Intrepid Travel plan most of their trips during these quieter, cooler months.
