A great way to see the park on a summer day! - Our guide was so informative and fun! It was such a great way to see the highlights of the park on a hot summer day. Our guide took pictures for us at major landmarks and we had a few stops where we could walk around for a bit. I have been to the park a few times, but my friend hadn’t, and we both learned a lot. Highly recommend!

Wheeling through the park - We had a great driver/guide, Max. He took the time to get to know us and made sure we got a picture of any of the parks fearures that we were interested in. So the verbal interaction was a great addition to the beauty of the park.
