Canyonlands – Customer Comments
If cities aren’t really your thing but breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife and good clean mountain air are then this itinerary will be right up your street. This is a route we first drove several years ago and it’s fair to say the variety of scenery in one itinerary probably stands this route apart from any other we offer. The whole 14 night itinerary is focused around ‘seeing’ this amazing region so we take you somewhere different every day, whilst there is plenty of driving, it’s relaxed and away from busy highways and long traffic jams.You will marvel at the contrast between the stunning mountain scenery found in the Colorado towns of Estes Park and Aspen to the red rock canyons of Moab or Bryce and Zion National Parks and of course the majestic Grand Canyon. This really is an itinerary for the outdoor person who likes to stay on the move and see as much as possible. There are plenty of opportunities for some hiking or short walks, which really will leave you feeling, revitalized and privileged to be out amongst the awesome North American Canyonlands.
Please do remember we can work on any number of variations of this itinerary to suite your own individual requirements, please just drop us a line, tell us what you’d like and we’ll do the rest! Telephone 0845 263 7100.

Dear Sarah & Alistair,
Jonathan and I have now been back in South Africa long enough to gather our breath and it is time to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in making our Canyonlands
fly/drive holiday a truly amazing one.
We had only positive experiences from the perfect weather to the warmth of everyone we met and the absolute unbelievable beauty of the scenery.
Jonathan had gone over our route and added in some extra drives (scenic byways) which provided unforgettable experiences, like getting stuck in snow on Hell’s Backbone. Our Jeep’s 4-wheel drive and Jonathan’s calm approach, saw us negotiating a 3 point turn on a narrow ledge, extricating us from the snow and descending from whence we came!! With no help in sight and no cellphone signal this is a tale to be told at many future dinner parties.
Our accommodation varied from totally acceptable to absolutely wonderful as a result of a couple of upgrades and we found food to our taste everywhere we went.
More than 3500 miles and over 2000 photos from snow capped mountains to rock formations which defied belief (and gravity) to painted desert and deepest canyons, rushing rivers and historic mining towns, it was an awesome holiday.
Please convey our appreciation to your American counterparts for sorting out the mix up over delivery of the wonderfully clear and detailed “day by day” file – it caught up with us in Aspen.
We will surely be recommending you to anyone who wants a holiday in the United States.
Kind regards.
Jonathan and Pam Read
Morning Kerry
Now that we have returned from the States (a few weeks ago now!) I thought I would give you a couple of points which may help others!
We had just the best of times – wonderful roads/views/mountains/canyons/motels/ Much better than we originally thought it would be.
Everyone we met was delightful, friendly, helpful. A great holiday that I will be recommending.
A couple of things that may help some of your other customers:
We found that a road map of the four states definitely helped to find our way alongside your brilliant directions.
It helped because your directions do not always mention the towns you pass through, also it helped us to ensure that we were going the right way up the motorways (as the maps show junction numbers)
On the last day in Denver at the Doubletree, we drove a couple of miles up the road and went to the Denver Natural History Museum – it was a brilliant museum and well worth the mention in your listings. Could easily use up 3 hours of your time while waiting for the evening plane.
As I said above, a wonderful holiday with hundreds of photographs and memories! Thanks for all your help before the holiday and we will be checking your site again for the future!!!
Best wishes
Melva and Sid Coe, and Jane Pesterfield.
