Awesome tour - Jenny was a fantastic tour guide. There was a flood that majorly impacted the planned route for our tour, and she gave us an adjusted tour that was even better than what we had hoped for originally. The car was incredibly comfortable, there were great snacks, and Jenny was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and funny. She even sent us some great photos of my friends and I that she got on her drone. Thank you again!

Amazing experience! - We had an absolute blast on this tour! Jenny was incredibly knowledgeable and talked us through the history and geological evolution of this place. She also knew the entire area inside out and found some neat pullout spots for us to soak some views in! Also was super flexible and accommodative, which was especially great since we were traveling with an 8 year old. Highly recommend booking with them!
