Southwest National Parks
Activity Level: 3Tour days tend to be long, flow at a consistent pace and may include long periods of travel. Guests should be prepared to walk longer distances, climb stairs and tolerate periods of standing, for example on city walks, sightseeing stops or excursions, on sometimes uneven surfaces including cobblestones or unpaved pathways and trails. Some destinations may have variations in altitude and/or temperature. Daily pace and timing may vary significantly between longer and shorter travel days, with additional activities possibly occurring in the early morning or evening. Guests are expected to board transportation without assistance. Elevators are not always available at accommodations or sites visited.
• Many of the parks have dirt trails but they are usually smooth for walking. Some have paved pathways and boardwalks.
• Altitudes vary—rising up to 9,000 feet above sea level.
• Guests should be able to embark and disembark a scenic raft, have a proper fit into a life jacket, and remain seated and balanced in the craft.
