I am here with my post about France which I would like to call Part II and I am sharing my experience of visiting various tourist attractions. I shared my tips and suggestions in Part I.<br />
<br />
Place Visited : Cannes, palace de versailles and Paris.<br />
<br />
We landed in Neice rented a car and drove to <b>Cannes</b><br />
<br />
It's a beautiful city <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">located on the French Riviera and </span></span>well known for the famous Cannes film festival<span style="background-color: white; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;">We spent three days in Cannes and stayed at the Majestic Barriere on the La Croisette over looking the beautiful beach. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;">The hotel at a private beach with access to the hotel guests to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach.</span><br />

<b>Promenade de la Croisette : </b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #767676; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Croisette is known for the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where the Cannes Film Festival is held. La Croisette's boardwalk is a 3 km long road which stretches along the Mediterranean sea on one side and luxury shops and the hotel on the other. one cannot just miss walking along this road if he/she is in Cannes.</span></span><br />

During your visit to Cannes, do make some time to climb up (Short but steep) the "Le Suquet" at the end of the walk, you will reach see a church, an old castle and a very promising view of Cannes<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Fabulous France, no sooner than I started typing my experience I am searching words and description, In less than three minutes I am lost in the dream of my trip "The Fabulous France". I am lost in the beautiful architecture, those narrow streets, those charming people who speak English with a French accent, those mouth-watering food, those mindblowing streetside artists, the happening vibe of France.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> It's one such beautiful place where I wish to get my parents one day.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">For details regarding Visa, visit the official website for <a href="https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/" target="_blank">Schengen visa</a>. Visa requirement change in accordance with your passport.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Places we Visited:</b> Cannes, Paris and Versailles Palace in France</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tips and Guide for your trip: </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Before booking your tickets</b><b>:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Travel off season</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a) Accommodations can be found at a cheaper cost. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> b) Less crowded tourist attraction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> c) Less pricey tickets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) If you are planning to visit multiple cities, prefer an open jaw ticket. In our itinerary, we flew into</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Nice and flew out of Paris.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3) Do get a rough idea of what you want to do in France, places you want to visit etc,.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Packing for your trip:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Travel light, take minimal clothes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Invest in a universal adapter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3) Download Google offline maps</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4) Invest in a portable power bank</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5) Europeans are always to the best of their attire. Pack cool clothes instead of casual clothes like</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> shorts etc,.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6) Do carry a good walking shoe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7) Of course, your camera to capture the moments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Booking your hotel:</b></span><br />
1) Prefer to book your hotels at the city center, it will help you save time and commute to the tourist<br />
attractions before and after a long day.<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Apps to download:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Google maps, with offline downloaded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Yelp, to search for the nearest and the best-rated restaurants</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3) Visiting museums and major attractions without an audio guide is a total waste. At the same time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> you need not spend for an audio guide, <b>Rick Steves, audio guide this will save you a lot of </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Euros.<a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/audio/audio-tours" target="_blank">Visit the website to download your podcasts</a>. It's free and it suffices the basic requirements</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4) You can download Paris metro app, but Google map will guide you with the exact time when your next train will arrive at the station</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5) Take advantage of being under the age of 26, with concession tickets at museums on entry tickets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> To know details about the concessional and free entry dates for various museums visit the official</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> website <a href="https://en.parisinfo.com/discovering-paris/themed-guides/paris-for-free/free-cultural-outings-in-paris/free-admission-and-good-deals-in-museums-and-monuments-in-paris" target="_blank">here</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6) If you are traveling on a budget, explore street food and cafe like crepes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7) You will find great Italian combo breakfasts with Croissant, bread, coffee, juice, and crepes for 12</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Euros (in 2017)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Little about French culture:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) In France, French is the National language. People do speak English and are always helpful to the </span><br />
tourist. In my personal experience when I went for shopping, the shop keepers were very friendly<br />
<div>
and <span style="font-family: inherit;">helped me out though they were not fluent in English.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">2) There is a concept of personalized </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Pizza. French people, they do not share their Pizzas. Also, ask </span>the waiter if sharing is accepted at </div>
<div>
their <span style="font-family: inherit;">restaurant.</span>3) Service at the restaurant is generally slow. They give you ample time to relax <br />
and order, enjoy and eat<span style="font-family: inherit;">, sit back and pay. If </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> are in a </span>hurry<span style="font-family: inherit;"> request for a quick service.</span>4) Tips,<br />
generally at 15%added to the bill. If you are pleased with the service go ahead and add a<br />
little more.<br />
5) This was a little strange to me. Most of the restaurants do not serve water. You need to ask for a<br />
glass of water, also do not expect tap water to be served. Its mineral water and you will be charged </div>
<div>
around 6 Euros. After the initial experience, We purchasing water bottle from a convenient / </div>
<div>
grocery store which costs (1 liter) 1 Euro.</div>
<div>
6) If you are traveling to rural France. Ensure you be at the restaurant for lunch before 2.00 PM and </div>
<div>
dinner before 8.00 PM. Do check for Business hours on Yelp. </div>
<div>
<b><br /></b> <b>Getting around places and little about the museum passes:</b></div>
<div>
Touristic cities are well connected with public transport. We suggest traveling by public transport. Renting a car will be a pain from driving to parking. We rented a car in Cannes while the rest of the places we visited traveling in public transport.<br />
<br />
<b>Commuting between cities: </b>A great way to commute between cities is again train, airports are outside city center while train stations are in the heart of the city. Unlike the train, flights have a restriction on the number of bags that you can carry.<br />
<br />
<b>Commuting in Paris: </b><br />

<b><br /></b> <b><br /></b> Walking is the best way to explore the city. At the same time, it requires a lot of energy. The best alternative to walking is riding a bicycle. Renting a bicycle and getting around got simpler and easy with Velib. They rent around 23,600 bicycles around the city. Visit their official website for registration and renting <a href="http://en.velib.paris.fr/" target="_blank">http://en.velib.paris.fr</a></div>

Paris Metro well connects the city and is greatly reliable with regards to the timing. There are various passes that you can purchase based on the number of days you are planning to spend in Paris.

<b>Our suggestion:</b><br />
Opt for the <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: white;">Paris Visite Pass based on your estimated days of stay as it promises unlimited transportation between the tourist attraction, from the airport and back to the </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Versailles Palace and back, to the Disneyland and back.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
We were in Paris for a week and we chose a five-day pass of 70,30 Euros. Taking advantage of the unlimited travel we visited famous restaurants and eateries of Paris at the end of a long day to reward our taste buds.<br />
<br />
<b>A little about the Musem passes:</b><br />
<b><br /></b> Most of the museum in France offers free days. Check if you travel to Paris is aligned with the free day offered by the museums.<br />
<br />
To visit the official website of Paris tourism to know about the passes click <a href="https://booking.parisinfo.com/il4-offer_i148-paris-museum-pass.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>. Paris museum pass comes in three categories based on the number of days as mentioned below:<br />
<br />
<br />
2 Days - 48 Euros<br />
4 Days - 62 Euros<br />
6 Days - 74 Euros<br />
<br />
<b>Our suggestion:</b><br />
In two days, one can practically visit two museums doing justice to it. If you end up buying tickets at the counter you will save a fortune. We personally find the museum passes are expensive. The only advantage of this pass is one when you purchase a three day pass you will be able to cover a handful of museums (You must be a "museum lover" to visit museums for three consecutive days). The other advantage is it offers "skip the line" access. Also, we noticed that during peak summer and tourist hours even the museum pass line is crowded with a wait time of more than an hour.<br />
<br />
Summing up, decide how many museums you want to visit and the time you want to spend on there. Total the cost of the tickets at the counter and the cost of the museum. Do the math take a decision and execute it. Happy visit.<br />
<br />
We visited the Louvre Museum and the <span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Musée de l'Orangerie. Hence, did not purchase the pass.</span></span><br />

<br />
Since we climbed up the Eifel tower we decided not to climb on top of other monuments/attractions to view Paris's skyline / panoramic view<br />
<br />
<br />
So the total expenditure on site seeing was 68 Euros per head while the three-day pass was 129 Euros.<br />
Three days pass comes with transport pass as well but does not include commute to the airport since it did not make a great saving for us on a five-day trip.<br />
<br />
Hence we opted to purchase a<b> five days pass (All zones, unlimited)</b> for 70.30 Euros and visit the museums/monuments which we wanted to visit for 68 Euros per head. Hence the total expenditure on travel plus the entry tickets was <b>138.30 Euros.</b><br />
<b><br /></b> <b>Decide on the passes to purchase based on the prioritizing the places you want to visit. </b><br />
<b><br /></b> In my next article on Fabulous France, I will share my experience at various points of interests.<br />

Day one: We reached Los Angeles International Airport at 5.00 AM after picking up the rental car we headed to the Beverly Hills. The shops had not opened for the day, the road was clear from traffic. We just drove through the streets. We were not keen on doing shopping or on taking a chance to see any film starts. So we checked this place first on our list<br />

It was still early in the morning around 7.30 and the day was still cloudy. If you want a clear picture I suggest you visit in the latter part of the day. You will also need good zoom lenses for a clear picture.<br />
<br />
You cannot get close to the sign or hike up to the hill is not allowed. However, there are people who do the same. I found this blog by Mr. Hansome Jimmy at <a href="http://www.hollywoodsigntrip.com/">http://www.hollywoodsigntrip.com</a> he gives a detailed trail may and video of his hike.<br />
<br />
Then we headed towards the next interesting location, Hollywood Walk of Fame. We stopped at Starbucks for breakfast and coffee.<br />

The Science Center was overwhelming with information and interesting facts. There is also a science lab where kids can learn through experiment. After the visit, we headed to the hotel for Rest and dinner.</div>

Day two: It was time for us to hit the world famous Universal Studios.<br />
<br />
If you want to make the most of your visit here there is only one secret, get your day ahead start and pre-book your tickets online.<br />
<br />
Reaching early will ensure you a parking spot, beating the crowd for the famous rides, pre-booked tickets ensure early entry to the park at 9.00 AM which otherwise its 10.00 AM. You will need one full day to spend your time here. Even if you decide to spend two days at Universal Studios you will not be disappointed. We, however, spent one day. Entry to all rides and exhibits are included in the entry fee.<br />

We reached the park at 8.45AM there were two parking lots that were already filled up, after parking the car followed by security we headed straight to the Harry Potter ride by around 9.30 AM, We still had a wait time of 30 minutes. We enjoyed this ride most of all.<br />
<br />
We hope the same goes with most of the people who visit the studio. After enjoying all the rides we decided to go once again on the Harry Potter ride, the time was around 3.30 PM and the wait time was 2hours 15 min, So we skipped the ride and exited the park.<br />
<br />
Next, we headed to <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Forest Lawn Memorial Park at</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span>1712 S Glendale Ave, Glendale, to visit the memorial of Yoga Guru, <span style="background-color: white;">Paramhansa Yogananda</span>.<br />

<br />
A very unique hottest, driest national park in the United States with unique geographical feature and views changing every one mile. A trip to Death Valley national park will require a little of preparation as it is difficult to find fuel station, food, signal inside the national park.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips to visit the park:</b><br />
<br />
Decide if you are just going to drive through the National Park visiting as a day trip visiting the highlights or you are interested in spending two days and cover the park of the park.<br />
<br />
Stop at the visitor center and plan your day to get an idea of the day's road closure, alerts, get a brief idea about the points of interest you wish to cover<br />
<br />
<b>Important: </b>Download Google offline map or carry car GPS, beyond the visitor center there is no cell phone signal for the rest of your drive into the park.<br />
<br />
Keep enough water, snacks, and some packed food in your car, well its a desert.<br />
<br />
Keep yourself hydrated and increase the amount of water intake for a few days before the visit just as to ensure you do not get dehydrated on your trip.<br />
<br />
The temperature will be soaring high, dress appropriately.<br />
<br />
There is an accommodation/lodge inside the national park, decide if you wish to stay there. They got interesting star gazing activity. Remember Death Valley National Park is a great place to see galaxy on a clear sky day.<br />
<br />
The sun was really bad on the passenger seat. I covered my passenger side with a paper if you have a sun shield or something it's worth carrying along on your trip.<br />
<br />
Carry portable battery charger, first aid kit, car tools, spare tires for an emergency.<br />
<br />
Carry sunscreen.<br />
<br />
Do fill fuel tank in Ridgecrest, you will find a couple of fuel stations inside the park but they will be pretty expensive, however, given the location.<br />
<br />
Carry instant ice packs, to tap it on yourself and to cover and tap water bottles. Bottles in the car gets really warm through the day<br />
<br />
Here is a brief about or trip<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day one:</b> We started from, Los Angeles, early and reached by around 10.30 AM. The sun had already started treating us bad. As we entered from, Los Angeles, our first palace where we could pay our fee was <span style="font-size: 16px;">Stovepipe Wells Ranger Station, we paid the park entry fee and picked up a map from the </span>place (ensure you pick up the map, as it comes handy even if gadgets fail to assist). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first point of attraction we stopped was <span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The largest dune field in the park. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.42857;">This dune field includes three types of dunes: crescent, linear, and star shaped. </span></span></div>

The crater was magnificent to look at. We skipped Titus Canyon as a high clearance vehicle is required. Next, we headed for lunch to Furnace creek, on our selected route and on the road that goes towards Las vegas this is the only place where you can find food.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
After lunch, we headed to <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.25px;">Zabriskie Point, most famous view point </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.25px;">overlooking badlands and a popular view for Sunrise and Sunset, which you can give it a shot if you stay at the Furnace creek lodge. </span></span></span></div>

<b>Day two:</b> Next day morning we headed first to the Devils Golf Course, where you can see rock salt which is sarcastically quoted as only devils can play golf. Well, pay attention you can hear salt cracking. To listen to this you need to get your ears close to the ground and pay attention. It's once again unique and fun.</div>

<br />
<b>Cost: </b>Tours to the lower canyon costs around $35 per person and upper canyon costs around $45 per person which includes, entry to the antelope canyon and entry fee to Navajo country.There are no combination/concessional tickets for both upper and lower canyon. We should buy the tickets individually. Photography tour, which is designated only for professional photographers costs around $145.<br />
<br />
<b>Time to visit:</b> Best time in the day to visit the canyon is when the sun is at its peak around 12.00 PM to 1.45 PM. Entry tickets at peak hour is $10 more than the regular prices. Tickets for this time slot tend to get sold quickly. We were lucky to get 1.15 PM tour slot.<br />
<br />
Also, please know that the tours are scheduled to be canceled if there is a flash flood alert.<br />
<br />
As the path in the canyon is tight there is no wheelchair accessibility and small children are not allowed ( only in the lower canyon). The canyon is the sacred place for the tribes. Hence its advised to treat the canyon with respect.<br />
<br />
We were been asked to assemble at the tourist office 15 minutes prior to the departures time. We were divided into groups of 15 to 20 headed by one tour guide. At 1.15 PM slot, there were around five groups which departed from our tourist location. Also, please be aware that we cannot drive our private vehicle till the entrance of the canyon. The tour company takes us up and down to the canyon. Which means the tour starts at the tourist office and ends at the tourist office. The distance from the tourist office to the canyon is around 15 minutes drive. At the end of the tour, tips are appreciated by the guide.<br />
<br />
The drive to the canyon is on a sandy unpaved road more like sand dunes.<br />

The picture below shows the entrance to the canyon. As I mentioned the path to the canyon is tight. Tour enters in one line, one direction and exists in the other direction. In the picture, we can clearly how the canyon was cut by the flash flood and of course the views inside again proves, nature is the best artist.<br />

<br />
<b>Our experience about the trip: </b>It was a very beautiful place to be in. We would vouch for its uniqueness and beauty. However, we were a little disappointed with the way the tour was organized.<br />
<br />
1) Too many people inside the canyon, making the place congested.<br />
2) Our tour guide would point out to a particular place inside the canyon and say, "stand here focus your camera to this point you will be able to see a dolphin, George Washington's face" etc;. It's a canyon any person can associate the formation as per his thoughts. It's just like looking at the cloud and telling it looks like a man's face while other will end up telling it looks like a girls face and the third person ends up telling I am unable to figure out anything.<br />
3) When the tour guide points out to take picture of something our co-tourist used to push, come in front of our camera to take their picture. Totally inconsiderate. How nice will it be if each one of us took our turns? We didn't like the feel of people pushing into us. We ended up lining up last in the line in the batch of 15 people.<br />
4) As we ended up being the last in the line we could listen to what our tour guide described and what the tour guide behind us describes. It was funny at the point where our tour guide describes as George Washington's face and the one behind describes as Abraham Lincoln's face. This is just an example and this happened multiple time. They were not consistent with the tour description.<br />
5) Finally, there was no useful information at the end of the tour like<br />
a) geographical details<br />
b) specialty of the canyon<br />
c) anything about the flash flood<br />
d) scientific details of the fine sand that you can find on the ground (walkway) not even<br />
e) a short introduction about their tribal community, why the canyon is sacred to them. When I asked my tour guide. "Are prayers performed even today by the Navajo residents?" she replied. I am not sure but I guess not.<br />
<br />
We paid $45 just to enter the canyon and walk around. Do you want to spend so much? or not? the ball is your court.<br />
<br />
I would say its a beautiful place but not worth $45 after the tour, we decided not to take the tour of the lower canyon. We were just happy with one tour.<br />
<br />
<b>Glen Canyon Dam:</b><br />
<br />
After visiting the canyon we headed to Glen Canyon Dam and took the guided tour of the dam for $5, they will take way to the generator room (which is down in the dam ) talk about the history, construction, maintenance etc.,<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Capilano Suspension Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the areas.

Alternately, I suggest you visit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-weight: normal;"> </span><b style="color: #222222;">Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge</b><b style="color: #222222; font-weight: normal;"> </b><span style="color: #222222; font-weight: normal;">which will give you a similar experience for free of cost, though shorter than the former lengthwise and heightwise.</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In this section, I am going to cover about a road trip from Seattle to San Diego through the beautiful West coast, considered to be the most scenic drive of the USA. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Things to consider before booking your ticket:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Duration of the vacation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Am I booking the flight and car rental as a multi-stop or round trip? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3) Will I be jet lagged on reaching Seattle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>The itinerary below is customized for the number of days of vacation you are interested in taking, The trip works out well with multi-stop ticket (Fly into Washington state and fly out of California State )However, for the readers who decide a round trip ticket with shorter vacation, your suggestion can be found in the Last column in the below tabular column of Notes.<br />
<br />
<b>The landscape:</b><br />
In the suggested itinerary, you will visit through famous National parks of the USA, breathtaking <span style="background-color: #f6d5d9;">waterfalls, </span>hike a volcanic mountain tube, a beautiful coastal area with jaw-dropping sunset and sunrise to enjoy.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So first biggest challenge will be the distance between your points of interest and time zone.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, this can be addressed with booking an "<b>Open Jaw ticket</b>" or sometimes called multi-stop ticket. For example, flying from your home country into the USA to the east coast and flying back to your home country from the west coast.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Commuting within the city/to other cities:</b></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unlike other touristic locations, the cities within the USA, are not well connected with public transport. Exceptions are New York, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco. If you book your hotels outside city center commuting can get tricky and expensive. Driving will be the best option to commute to other places other than these major cities. Again, you should be able to rent and drive a car. The rental rates and insurance can be steep. See driving tips below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Having the USA is a safe and cheap place for road trips. People are mostly very discipline on the roads. If one id not comfortable with driving the US can be a challenge. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, this can be addressed by booking hotels in the city center, choosing national parks that have airport connectivity/bus connectivity, preferring to explore the coasts with public transport option being the first timer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Tips if you choose to drive:</b></h4>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Insurance: </b>It's must for all for everyone to have one. Check with your home company insurance provider for international coverage or purchase one with the rental company.</span></div>

We first went all the way to Mooney falls and of all three falls, we enjoyed this falls the most. You have to hike through a cave which descends around 500ft to reach the waterfalls which adds fun. We suggest visiting this falls first as hiking through the cave can get tricky around sunset<br />

The time at the falls will be treasured and cherished for the rest of the life. The beauty of the falls makes the hike well worth the effort. Also, at the end of the day, this hike is unique from geological perspective dating back to two billion-year-old sediments and limestone.<br />

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Its the largest and most easily accessible glacier in Alaska. You can drive as close as to a distance of a quarter mile. The glacier is visible from the Glenn Highway National Scenic Byway, Glacier View and falls in-between the cities of Palmer and Glennallen.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Glenn Highway you can visit Matanuska Glacier Park at milepost marker 102. At the milepost market it will take you to a privately owned drive. They collect entry fee of $35 per person to let you drive on their private road. From the parking lot, you can access the glacier's foot in about fifteen minutes around a quarter mile. </span><br />
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The initial path up the glacier is muddy wooden plans are laid for a smooth walking experience. The glacier is all alive and you can hear the sounds of crack and water flowing in between the cracks. Take some time to intake the beautiful view. It gives an inner peace to the soul. You need normal walking shoes and ice cleats if you want to go and explore further inside of the glacier. There are guided tours and guided glacier climbing packages. </span><br />

<br />
We visited the Zion National Park as a day trip. The best hikes in the park are as below.<br />
<br />
<b>The Narrows, via river sidewalk, 10 miles: </b> World famous hike inside the canyon which is 20 - 30 feet wide and through which flows the river Virgin. The path is slippery and offers a challenge even to the most experienced hikers. When we visited the park, hike permits were suspended due to the rise in the water level. We somehow got unlucky. However, if you wish to read hikers experience at the Narrows, visit the link <a href="http://www.citrusmilo.com/zionguide/zionnarrows.cfm" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
<b>Angels Landing, 5.4 miles: </b>The second most famous day hike in the park and the one we attempted and were successful in finishing it.<br />
<br />
Both Narrows and Angels Landing is part of the strenuous hikes.<br />
<br />
Weeping Rock Trail, 4 miles, Riverwalk trail to the temple of Sinawana, 2.5 miles form part of the easy hikes and Upper Emerald Pool, 1-mile forms part of the moderate trails in the park. Apart from the mentioned trails, there are other trails, but these will cover the highlights of the park and help you plan a day trip. For Map and more hiking trails visit <a href="https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/upload/hiking_guide_12_21_16.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Last but the best drive of the park is Canyon scenic drive.<br />
<br />
A weekly entrance to the park is $30 and is good up to 7 days.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips:</b><br />
<br />
You need to start your day early for multiple reasons. Wait time for the shuttle bus can get really annoying after 9.00 AM, it can range easily above 45 minutes on weekends and 35 minutes on a weekday. We reached the park at 8.30 AM and we had a wait time of 20 minutes on a weekday. Schedule your day wisely.<br />
<br />
Inside the park, Zion Lodge is the only point where you can find restaurants. So carrying light snacks is advised.<br />
<br />
We headed our return journey from the temple of Sinawana at 3.00 PM (last point in the scenic drive). The bus was full in a couple of stops. By the time the bus reached the Zion Lodge, there was no time for people to get on into the bus. Visitors who had got back to the Zion Lodge for lunch were stuck up with no space in the return bus back to the visitor center and wait time around two hours.<br />
<br />
The bus frequency is really good. One ever 5 - 10 minutes, but the number of people visiting the park is also super high. So keeping these factors in mind plan your trip accordingly.<br />
<br />
Carry your cap and binoculars.<br />

<b>Our day trip to the park:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>Driving our private vehicle inside the park is not allowed between March to Cover only way to access the drive is through the Zion Park free shuttle bus. After gathering day's details at the visitor center we arrived at the shuttle station and were set on our journey to the scenic drive.<br />
<br />
We had a 20 min wait time around 8.30 AM in the morning. On the scenic drive, we decided to do the Angle sLanding and for down at "The Grotto". The Angles Landing trail shares its trail with the West Rim trail for the most part of the hike.<br />

<b>About the Trail - Angels Landing: </b><br />
<br />
Complete hike is around 5.4 miles and ascends 1488 feet and took around two and half hours for the round trip.<br />
Your time taken will depend on how many people are up at the landing because only one person can comfortably move at a given point of time<br />
Most of the trail is paved other than the final stretch of .5 miles where the path narrow and leads up to the lookout point.<br />
In the final stretch of the trail young children are not allowed, but however, we saw kids go 5 years and above attempting the final stretch and being successful.<br />
In the final stretch, a little of crawling is required, they have laid chains which you can hold on to for support.<br />
I hiked with my running shoe that I am comfortable with.<br />
We both consumed around two and a half liters of water in the round trip.<br />

After hiking, we headed to the river sidewalk, to theTemplee of Sinawava, also the starting point of the narrows hike. Next, we visited the Weeping Rock, one of the beautiful sites. Do not miss to stand behind the weeping rock and capture the view of the park.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the "Natural World Wonders" of the world. A UNESCO world heritage site. The majestic Grand Canyon National Park.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The canyon was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">The primary public areas of the park are the North and South Rims while rest of the Grand Canyon is vast and remote. It's so huge that it can be observed from the space.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">The park is divided into the North, South and West Rim. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to visit North Rim we suggest planning your visit during the Summer months as it opens late in May. However, South Rim is open year around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Activity: </b>Tour the canyon, Ranger-led programs, observe sunrise and sunset, hiking</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Accommodation:</b> There are accommodations (lodge and campsite) available inside the park and if not then Williams is the closest town/city around 45 minutes drive from the park which offers a wide range of accommodation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Modes of transport:</b> You can drive in your own car inside the park, however during a certain period, the only mode of transport to a certain point is riding the free shuttle bus. Finding parking inside the park will get tricky during peak season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We did one hiking expedition in the Grand Canyon ( <a href="https://desitravellers.blogspot.com/p/place-havasupai-falls-near-grand-canyon.html" target="_blank">Havasupai Falls / Havasu falls</a>). We strongly believe the only way to get an essence of the geographical feature in the park is by going on a hike spending time amidst nature. Even a helicopter tour will not do any justice to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We sent one and half days at the park covering the highlights and observing sunrise and sunset. This is a must do activity in the park. The color of the canyon turns bright and beautiful when the sun rays touch the walls of the canyon. Very unique and enjoyable moments of wonder by the mother nature. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The south rim of the National Park 9.1 miles towards hermit road from the visitor center and 22 miles towards desert view from the visitor center.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the first day we covered the viewpoint towards hermit road and the next day we covered desert view part towards the desert.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We reached the park about 2.00 PM in the noon. We stopped by the visitor center to check the points of interest that are open and to get an idea about the day's ranger-led activities. At the visitor center, there is a 15 minutes movie that is played. We strongly recommend watching the video.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>We covered the attractions as below: </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "frutigerltstd";"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "frutigerltstd";">After visiting the village we headed to the famous Hermit road viewpoint to observe the sunset. Again, During peak season driving the hermit road is prohibited (March 1 to November 30 ). We will have to use the free shuttle bus service to the park. Allow some extra time for your turn to get into the bus. The Hopi point is the most desirable point in the Grand Canyon for sunset.</span></div>

After observing the sunset, we returned to the campsite. Next day morning we woke up early around 3.30 and reached Mather point to observe the sunrise. Sunrise varies based on the month you visit, I strongly suggest you visit the link<a href="https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/sunrise_set_moon.htm" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both Sunrise and sunset are "must do once in the lifetime". The colors which the canyon reflects is beyond words to explain. It proves nature is the best artist on earth. The canyon reflects maroon, magenta, golden, yellow colors when the sun rays touched the walls of the canyon. At the visitor center, our park ranger said that we can even witness purple, but however we couldn't.</span><br />

This is the most photographed location in the grand canyon. Here Colorado river turns as it cuts through the canyon and formed a horseshoe bend. It is the most ideal location to witness the depth of the canyon and to intake the majestic view of the river.<br />
<br />
At Just fifteen-minute drive from the Horseshoe bend is the other scenic and the most photographed canyon in the United States. A canyon cut due to "flash flood". Yes, <a href="https://traveltheonlyworld.blogspot.com/p/antelope-canyon.html" target="_blank">Antelope Canyon</a> so called "photographers paradise"<br />
<br />
If you want to visit the canyon, we cannot take a self-guided tour but only guided tour by the "Navajo Indian Tribe tour agency" is allowed.<br />
When you choose Antelope canyon in google maps it redirects us to the Indian reservation tour agency. There are around four to five tour agency that is owned by the Indian reservation.<br />
