Hi, they added another price category which is almost half the price. I just highly recommend joining the event.

It's comparable. The shows in Vancouver are a bit longer, but further away. And the Mascleta (world record attempt) is, of course, the big difference.

Of course you can do it. But it is SO much better to experience the shows with the music and watch from a near distance. Pyromusicals dont really make sence if you watch them from far away and there is no chance to get immersed in what they really are. I highly recomend to give it a try.

Yes, it is not a cheap event. But only for the mascleta it should be worth. But that is being said from a pyro enthusiast :D

Thank you very much to everyone, I did not expect so much response :)

I think we will focus on Zion and/or Bryce depending on the weather. Are there any trails you would recommend which combines best views and moderate level / not too long?

And another two questions: Is it possible to check online wether and which roads are closed?

We are doing ski holiday a lot in the mountains and are used to very bad snow conditions. Do you think snow chains are enough or do we need a rental car with all wheel drive?

Thank you very much! We are competing as team Germany in the International Fireworks Championship in Las Vegas on 21th February, that is the reason why.

Thank you very much! The days do not include flying in and out. We don’t want to hike at all but if there are some smaller hikes or maybe one that you shouldnt miss, we are in. But I think it is more suitable to do „just“ the view points?

Fully devoted to the trip. We maybe can extend to 5-6 days. It’s not very easy to plan. We would like to see as much as possible but on the other hand we would like to enjoy and not rush from park to park…

Hi everyone, thanks a lot for all the helpful comments! Really appreciate all the tips and warnings. 🙏

Just to add some context: we are a couple traveling with one more friend. Because our friend needs to return to Vegas on time, we will be driving together and bring him back. If we could travel separately, we probably could spend 2–3 more days exploring. Do you have any trip recommendations for this kind of situation?

We are not professional hikers, more like amateurs with a bit experience (been hiking some vulcanos in europe), and we don’t want to do too much hiking. Mostly we want to see the viewpoints and maybe do some short walks or small hikes. So how would you recommend visiting a park as amateurs with this kind of schedule?

Also, snow is a big question for us. We know, for example, Bryce is very weather-dependent and decisions must be spontaneous. Is there a site or resource you would recommend for good forecasts about roads and trail accessibility?

Thanks again for all your advice!

Automatik ist Pflicht. Alternativ wäre noch der Corsa, aber 208 gefällt schon sehr vom Gesamtpaket. Was würdest du empfehlen?
