Meet Laura

*Can’t take credit for these; they are on a bookmark my daughter got from the gift shop after our recent visit🤣 Canyonlands is a beautiful park carved out over time by the Green and Colorado rivers, and the most popular section of it- Island in the Sky- is just 30 mins from Moab! This view is looking west towards the La Sal mountains from the Grand View Point Overlook trail🧡

Are you a last minute traveler, or do you prefer t Are you a last minute traveler, or do you prefer to book wellll in advance?✈️📆😄

While I am wholeheartedly a type A planner, I booked my family a little New Years getaway to Utah (combo flight to ABQ and then drive via Santa Fe) just two days before we left😂 While planning travel in advance is traditionally the norm, our clients’ booking windows have definitely shrunk in 2020! We understand the uncertainty involved in traveling during a pandemic and help our clients navigate where they can go, rules to entry, and contingency plans/trip insurance should they need to cancel✔️ As well, so many hotels have relaxed their booking policies- making last minute getaways so much easier, thankfully!🙏🏼

Because even when you want to plan well in advance.... sometimes, you just gotta get away. Even if it’s next week!🤪✈️ We’re ready to help when you’re ready to travel! #hauteholidaystravel #archesnationalpark #sanddunearch #moab #utah
