This tour was excellent. We started with Eric, our guide, and he was very knowledgeable about the area, the tribes and the desert landscape. We really enjoyed our desert walk and trip to the ghost town city. The Dolly steamboat was excellent as well, we saw some mountain goats and many birds. Tortilla Flat was a great lunch stop too - a nice relaxing day!

Fun, educational, and relaxing. Eric gave us wonderful insights ib the history of the area and how life progressed. He was open to all questions and when asked for options of other things as to do he gave us answers. Eric also talked with my granddaughter to answer her questions, at 5 she had a few. We will come back again and use the company so we can share with others.
