I just completed Tauck’s final Spirit of the Desert tour of 2026, which was also my 55th Tauck tour and the last departure of the year to include the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This particular tour presented Tauck with not one, but two natural disasters to overcome, neither of which appeared in the original itinerary!…
Does anyone know what changes Tauck is making to the September 2026 tours with the South Grand Canyon Hotels closed probably through the entire Fall Spirit of the Desert Sep-Oct tour season? Rumor has it that the entire south park area of the Grand Canyon may close mid September due to lack of water to support restaurants,…

Is anyone on this tour currently, who can comment on the air quality? We are scheduled for late September and I have asthma. Jean
We will be going on this trip, although I am dreadfully concerned about the heat. Is there anyone out there reading this who will be on the same trip? We are flying to GrandJunction one day early. Nancy (aka Dixie Chick)

I am at the end of my Spirit of the Desert tour & it has been very dispirited. I feel like I was sold a bait & switch tour. I’ve done many tours with Tauck & have had very good experiences, but this tour is definitely not up to Tauck standards. You rarely stay at lodging within the National Parks, as advertised. Instead,…
I am taking the spirit of the desert tour beginning 5/19. My question is about the float trip on the Colorado river on day 3. Is it safe to bring a non-waterproof camera on the trip. How wet will people and property (like cameras and iPhones) get? Is it like a white water rafting trip or is it more sedate. I’d really…
