Experienced parts of Arizona that we had no idea that even existed—Apache Trail, Canyon Lake Tortilla Flats. We enjoyed visiting the desert. Eric was a fantastic guide.

Eric, our guide, was fabulous. He was knowledgeable about the foliage we saw along a short walk thru the desert. He was very socialable while driving. Tortilla Flat is an interesting place in history. The Dolly boat trip showed us views of the terrain you could not see from the road. Awesome.

What a great way to spend the day! The steamboat was lovely and I loved visiting Tortilla Flat, eating at the restaurant and trying prickly pear gelato! Eric was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
