Travel Through Utah’s National Parks With The Mighty 5 Tour

As an avid outdoorsman and photographer, Mike Coronella spent his days experiencing the outdoors, from writing a book called Hayduke Trail: A Guide to the Backcountry Hiking Trail on the Colorado Plateau to being a wilderness first responder. He has enjoyed the country’s national parks so much that he packaged them into the Mighty 5 Tour, a luxury all-inclusive tour experience of the five of the most beautiful parks in the country. You can choose from one of two options that take you through some of the country’s most picturesque parks in luxury:

The Mighty 5 Signature Tour is a 10-night, nine-day journey with guided hikes in each of Utah’s “Mighty 5” National Parks: Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce and Zion. No more than six guests travel from park to park in a custom Mercedes Benz Sprinter van to experience some of the most remarkable hikes in the world. Every single detail is taken care of, from luxury accommodations at the region’s finest properties to first-class dining prepared by caterers on location or enjoyed at renowned restaurants along the route. A full-time, dedicated concierge accompanies guests in a separate vehicle to ensure a stress-free voyage. Tours depart from St. George, Utah on the 2nd and 17th of April, May, September and October.

The Mighty 5 Summer Tour is a six-night, five-day expedition through each of the Mighty 5 National Parks. Up to six guests will travel in the aforementioned custom Mercedes Benz van, with accommodations and dining arrangements similar to those featured in the Signature Tour. Trips begin in St. George, Utah on the 2nd and 17th of June, July and August.

The Mighty 5 Tours take the hassle out of figuring out your own itinerary and accommodation. And, judging by the looks of the photographs from the tour, you’ll be visiting some of the most beautiful parks in the United States.

There are two types of people in the world – the ones who pack two weeks in advance with a packing checklist, and the ones who shove a random pair of shoes into a bag 10 minutes before leaving for the airport. I’ve been both.

But after years of red eyes, lost luggage, and trying to survive long layovers in jeans, I’ve learned what actually works. These are the travel tips for packing I swear by – the things that save space, stress, and yes, your sanity.

In case you are unaware, AAA says a record-setting 72.2 million Americans are estimated to travel ahead of Independence Day this week (between Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, July 4th). AAA projects that this year's domestic travel forecast will surpass 1.7 million travelers over last year, and 7 million more than in 2019. Busy summer travel also means an increased chance of encountering common airport hassles, such as long wait times at baggage claim, and even lost, damaged, or stolen luggage. Travelers are also looking for new ways to avoid rising checked bag fees and overweight baggage fees.

As a solution, more travelers are turning to luggage shipping as an alternative to make their summer journeys a bit smoother. With luggage shipping options at The UPS store, specialty luggage boxes are used to accommodate a wide variety of the most common suitcase sizes. For airlines with strict size and weight regulations, using luggage shipping may offer an easier, stress-free option to transport your belongings without the hassle. Travelers with specific mobility issues or with multiple suitcases have also turned to luggage shipping as a more straightforward solution than navigating busy airports with numerous suitcases at once.
