""It was a very active tour with early morning hikes before the day got hot, but it was worth it," Emma said. "It was amazing to see so many spectacular National Parks in one trip. The views were amazing. "Our favorite park was Bryce Canyon. It had all the hoodoos that were formed by frost weathering and stream erosion from the river. They were just beautiful. The colors would change as the sun hit them."
""At Arches National Park, the highlight was getting so close to Balanced Rock. [It's] a unique park with so many different arches." "Good walking shoes are a must," Emma said. "Don't forget the hat. Wear layers; early mornings are cool but it does warm up." "our guides were so knowledgeable about the history of each park.""
