Not as good as expected with price . Prices are high and very little they go and didn’t take to parking top area.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Please be honest in your review. We did not go to the parking area because your large group did not show up until the tour was scheduled to depart. We asked you to please arrive 20 minutes early to situate your group. You chose not to do this and did not depart until 23 minutes past our departure time. We also provided you a private tour and returned on time as we promised vs. arriving back in the dark. Next time please open emails and arrive early with a large group.

Loved the beauty of the autumn colors! Some parts of the ride was rough and bumpy but love riding ATVs which are similar. Great tour guide who my husband enjoyed talking and learning from. Thank you!

The fall colors were beautiful and the driver felt safe and was accomodating. We were disappointed though as it was advertised as waterfalls and ghost towns. We saw no ghost towns and only two waterfalls as this time of year apparently they are dried up, which is understandable, but I feel it should have been marketed as a fall foliage tour instead. I probably wouldn't have paid for it if I would have known we were just going to see fall colors as we have canyons where we live where we can already see that. We were hoping to see numerous watefalls and ghost towns. You may want to change how you market this tour during this time of the year. Also, tour guide spent the entire time talking about people not following "canyon etiquette", the lack of marmot sightings, and how many unequipped cars he sees on the drive every time. It got tiring to hear the same things over and over again through the whole tour.

Nell,
Thanks for booking with us. We actually did not book too many. Our rigs hold 9 guests, 6 in the back and 3 in the cab. That said, we had 8 guests in total on this tour no one wanted to rotate into the comfortable cab. Glad you enjoyed the trip overall and thanks for tipping your guide. Take care
