Why Work with a Travel Guide & Advisor?

Planning a trip to a large national park, or multiple national parks, can feel overwhelming. With limited time, crowded seasons, and endless options, it is easy to second-guess every decision. That is where we come in —

As Your Travel Guide and Advisor, we help you:

  • Create a custom itinerary based on your interests, pace, and group size

  • Design a route with logical sequencing, drive-time optimization, and season considerations, so you spend less time driving and more time exploring

  • Book travel, including airline tickets and rental cars OR develop the ideal road-trip or RV journey

  • Choose the best places to stay (location matters more than most people realize)

  • Avoid common travel pitfalls through strategic timing — helping you sidestep crowds, capture beautiful photos in the best light, and enjoy key locations with less stress and fewer people around

  • Provide practical advice and simple strategies for traveling with kids in national parks — keeping them entertained, involved, and open to new experiences along the way

  • Discover local insights and hidden gems

  • Feel confident knowing your trip is thoughtfully planned from start to finish

Where would you like to go?

We specialize in planning trips to national parks of the American West. Unlike other Travel Advisors and Agents, we send you to places that we have firsthand knowledge of, so we can give you advice that only comes with experience.

Some of our favorites include:

  • The Wild West — Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks

  • Eastern Utah — Arches & Canyonlands National Parks

  • Central Utah — Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, & Zion National Parks

  • The Dakotas — Theodore Roosevelt, Badlands, and Wind Cave National Parks, with stops at Mount Rushmore, Jewel Cave, & Devil’s Tower

  • Washington State — Olympic, North Cascades, & Mount Rainier National Parks

  • Lower California — Channel Islands, Pinnacles, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, & Yosemite National Parks

  • The American Southwest - Great Basin, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, Saguaro, & Petrified Forest National Parks, with a stop at Natural Bridges National Monument

What the Planning Process Looks Like

Planning a national park trip does not have to feel overwhelming. Here is how we work together to create a thoughtful, stress-free adventure from start to finish:

STEP 1: Free Consultation

Reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation where we will talk through your trip ideas, travel style, group size, and goals.

STEP 2: Custom Planning Process

Based on our conversation, I prepare a personalized travel planning proposal along with a clear payment proposal outlining the scope of work and available add-on services.

STEP 3: Review & Approval

You review the proposal at your own pace. Once approved, we schedule a dedicated planning meeting to dive deeper into the details.

STEP 4: Planning Meeting

During our planning meeting, we refine priorities, pacing, and preferences, laying the foundation for a trip that fits your family or group perfectly.

STEP 5: Draft Travel Plan

I develop a comprehensive draft travel plan, including route guidance, timing considerations, key highlights, and practical planning notes.

STEP 6: Review & Refine

You review the draft, and we make thoughtful adjustments together to ensure everything feels right before finalizing.

STEP 7: Final Itinerary Delivery

You receive your finalized travel plan digitally, complete with planning notes, recommendations, and a clear framework to follow throughout your trip — so you can travel confidently and enjoy the experience.

PLANNING FEES & ADD-ON SERVICES

A base planning fee applies and is determined by the length and complexity of your trip. Optional add-on services are available for those who want additional support, customization, or ongoing guidance.
