Mesa Verde from Durango drive time?

Hello, we are staying in Durango and have tickets for tours in Mesa Verde. It looks like it is about an hour to the park entrance and then an hour to the tour site (cliff house). Is that right? Just don’t want to leave too late and miss our tour! Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!

Arches/Canyonlands in March

Looking to potentially plan a trip to Arches/Canyonlands in March next year. I’ve seen some stuff on the internet saying that March is the best time to go, but the temps still seem quite cool. Would love to hear from anyone with experience at these parks around that time of year.

Great Smokies in March?

We are planning a 3-4 day trip to the GSM NP and debating going in March or April. Ideally for work and things we would prefer March.

Looking for personal stories if anyone has visited this park in mid-late March; we have seen some good reports on google but wanted to get some extra input. I know that weather can vary extremely, but we would like to know if snow was a concern for hikes/safety throughout the park, since hiking will be our primary activity. TIA!

5 years ago today I set out from my place in Austin on a mission to film all of the designated national parks and next month I’ll visit the last 3!

A design I made from the 4th park I visited, Great Basin.

North Rim Grand Canyon - I'm going to be in southern Utah and free for a few days between Oct 15 and 17, probably the closest I'll be to North Rim in a long time. I know services close Oct 15, but will the roads still be open? Can I still go in to the park and hike? Thanks!

Capital reef national park scenic drive closure

Planning a trip to Utah national parks next June. Had originally planned 2 days in capital reef, but it seems that scenic drive will be closed for repair. Is there 2 days worth of stuff without scenic drive?

Dear Bob and Sue

If you haven't read any of these books, give them a try. Matt and Karen are great and their books make me love the parks even more. Happy reading!

Any suggestions for Jackson Hole/Teton (OCT 5-8) & Yellowstone (OCT 8-10)?

Hi! Currently planning a trip to Jackson, WY /Teton (OCT 5-8) and then Yellowstone (OCT 8-10). I noticed that it was off-season so some tours and activities are offered. Any tips on what to do/see would be greatly appreciated!

Hikes currently planned: Jenny Lake & Cascade Canyon. We're avid hikers, so if anyone has better suggestions on hikes, please send them over!

Also, are wildlife tours in Teton or Yellowstone worth it? Or should we just drive/hike on our own? And is the Aerial Tram sightseeing in Jackson Hole worth it?

Thank you!
