We held a tour of the Grand Circle for 2 nights and 3 days from July 12th to 14th.
This time, my husband was a researcher and was staying in Boston, and before returning to Japan next month, the couple participated in a Grand Circle trip.
On Monday, the first Grand Circle tour since the reopening of tourist destinations in the Navajo settlement has taken us to Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, which we haven't been to for over a year.
On the morning of the second day (13th) of the process, I first took a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon. Not only did it reopen, but the tourists were still sparse, but when we first arrived there was a temperature check and name bookkeeping for all the visitors. (You must wear a mask) After that, all participants will be required to sign the WAIVER at check-in. The tour (previously we were happy with the pre-signed WAIVER paperwork) is a Navajo guide with up to 5 guests taking a 6-foot social distance to explore the valley. Due to the limited number of people admitted, the valley is not as crowded as before, and we will take pictures slowly and go sightseeing for about an hour before returning.
For customers, it is more advantageous than usual because they can take a leisurely tour of the valley and take a lot of pictures, but it took time to complete the procedure despite the small number of people such as temperature measurement of all the visitors and the sign of WAIVER.
After that, I moved to Monument Valley and saw the scenery from the visitor center in the park. This tour did not include a volleyball tour (jeep tour), but the volleyball tour has also resumed.
The guests who participated were also very pleased to be able to enjoy sightseeing in Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley on the chartered tour.
This time as well, I received a photo from the guide in charge that shows the state of the trip, so I will post it.

A full-day tour of the Grand Canyon was held on May 29th and 30th.
The guests on the 29th were a family of four stationed in New York, a couple stationed in Chicago, and a total of eight men and women studying abroad in Los Angeles.
The guests on the 30th were a family of three stationed in New York and a couple studying abroad in San Diego, for a total of five people.
Everyone came to the Grand Canyon for a trip during the holidays of Memorial Day.
We were able to guide the tour as planned without the expected heavy congestion during the consecutive holidays.
It may be that the soaring price of gasoline makes it difficult to go out in your own car.
On May 28th and 29th, we held a one-night, two-day Grand Circle tour.
There were a total of four guests, a couple residing in Houston and a couple residing in Michigan.
We had you participate in the trip of the Grand Circle using the consecutive holidays of Memorial Day in the United States.
Although there are differences depending on the region, most areas in the United States will be in full swing from Memorial Day to summer vacation. For people living in the United States, this summer vacation is likely to continue to focus on travel within the United States.
After all, summer is the season for national parks, so it seems that the tourist spots in the Grand Circle will be crowded for a while.
A two-day, one-night Grand Circle tour was held on May 24th and 25th.
The customers were two men and women who came to travel from Japan.
The number of customers traveling from Japan is increasing little by little, but it is often the case that mixed-ride tours are still reserved like this time.
It's a tough situation for us to organize the tour, but I think we're very lucky for the customers who participate in the tour.
Please come to the Grand Canyon for sightseeing, aiming for a high charter rate before the overseas travel is revived in earnest and you are busy.
