...how does the horseback ride fit in with Arches National Park gig? I'm confused...I thought we had the afternoon free, not the morning. Michael and I could go golfing on the chip course but wouldn't it be too hot for that?
For one restaurant in particular, the Dining Room at the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon, it's recommended to get a reservation ahead of time, because it is very popular. I don't know about the others, but I heard about it by reading the trip reports of people who had done this trip before me (and since!). Reading the Trip Reports can give you a great idea of what the trips involve, and handy tricks (like making the reservations ahead of time) that people have discovered over the years. Or just post a thread here asking for advice & opinions on restaurants, activities, etc. The folks on this forum love to share their experiences on ABDs!Hello. My family is considering this trip for July 2013 ( me, DH, DS1 (11) and DS2 (9) I have enjoyed reading everyone comments about this trip. I was wondering - some mentioned making reservations to different restaurants prior to going on their trip. Is this something that needs to be done? If so, how did you learn about the restaurants? Thanks
Congrats! You are so going to love this trip!Thank you for all the advice - happy to say we booked the trip today YEA!! We are going July 3-10 , 2013. We can't wait !

Just wondering .... Which hotel do you stay at while at Grand Canyon? I was checking out the hotels and saw there are several there.
You used to get the box 45 days ahead of time, now it's more like 3-4 weeks. I leave in a little over 2 weeks, and they haven't sent ours yet (they had to re-print the book). That's not normal.Ok another question....hope I don't drive you guys crazy . I have read about ABD sending a box - when would this arrival and since we booked thru AAA would it go there? Our trip is the first week in July
Hi, my family is considering this trip for summer 2014. My parents in there 60s want to take my children ages 9 and 7 on this vacation. Will there be other grandparents traveling with their grandchildren? What is the average age of kids on these trips? Will my kids find other children in their age group? Thank you for your insight.
