Winter Tours Of Southwestern National Parks

LAS VEGAS - Jan. 4, 2018 - PRLog -- The tourist traffic at national parks in the southwestern portion of the United States gets cut down to about 10% of the peak times during the winter.  This means that during the months of December through February, only about 10% of the traffic at national parks like Bryce, Zion, and the Grand Canyon are going to be present.  Because the crowds at the best viewing positions and hiking trails are the biggest complaint about popular national parks, one would think that any time that promises to significantly reduce this type of congestion would be very popular.  In fact, a common misconception makes it one of the best kept secrets of the southwest.  The winters are actually the best times to visit national parks in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.  This is because the misconceptions about the weather scare off the majority of the tourists, and as a result you get a less crowded experience with the trade off of only slightly colder than summer temperatures.

People on the east coast identify winter with bitter cold temperatures and snow.  For example, the beginning of 2018 has shown the east coast some of the coldest temperatures on record.  Many of these people would never dream of going out and hiking during January, but at this same time right now in the Grand Canyon the high temperatures for the days are about 65 degrees and the lows are about 30.  This may come as a shock to people who identify the mid-sixties with spring time, but because the temperatures on average are far warmer on the west coast year round, the winters in many national parks feel like spring time in other places.  Many people will actually view the summer times as being the worst time to visit a national park on the west coast, as the temperatures are generally well over 100 degrees.  This makes hiking and physical activities outside quite uncomfortable.

So the misconceptions about the weather in national parks that are within driving distance from Las Vegas reduces the seasonal tourism down to 10% of what it is in the summer, and the temperatures are actually almost like springtime.  The question is why you are not booking your trip to Las Vegas right now, and using it as a starting point for your next national parks tour.  Even Las Vegas is seasonal, so the rooms and entertainment in the city are going to be able to be had for better prices as well.  If you want to make the most of your national parks tour, just contact Bindlestiff Tours to arrange your next adventure, or click through to their website at https://www.bindlestifftours.com/national-parks-near-las-...
