Hi, I'm Jean, booked to visit the National Parks, Mount Rushmore and Little Big Horn from the 13 to 29 May 2026. I've visited the USA before, but not the areas covered in this tour. I'm resident in the UK, married but my husband is disabled and unable to cope with touring, so I have decided that to see these interestng places I must go it alone, but with Just You, in like-minded company. So if you are also booked on this tour or have already done the tour, you are welcome to contact me or perhaps offer any useful advice. I look forward to hearing from you.  

Hi Jean,

I did this tour in May this year, you are going to have an amazing time and see some incredible sights.

One tip I would give you is to take a warm sweater with you and a raincoat.

The first few days it was tshirt weather but once we hit Cody it became really cold.  The two days in Yellowstone and Grand Teton you will need a big sweater to keep warm.  Once you hit Salt Lake City it warms up and is tshirt and shorts weather for the rest of the trip.

When we were there it rained a few times in the desert (once at Canyonlands, once at Bryce Canyon and a heavy rain shower with thunder and lightning at Moab).  If you have a light raincoat I would take that on the bus with you as you never know when you will need it.  You can always leave it on the bus when you are off exploring.

Hi Jean,

I'm also booked on the National Parks trip, May 2026. (Thank you Dawn for your good advice. I'll be packing a warm fleece and a waterproof). Just to give you a heads up that if you need an ESTA for entry to the USA,  the cost is increasing as of 1st October this year. So, it might be worth applying before 30th September to avoid the increase. I submitted an online application, which was approved almost immediately and is valid until September 2027. May 2026 will come around before we know it and I look forward to meeting you then. It's going to be a wonderful trip and I can't wait!
