I felt I needed to write an honest review. First of all it was billed as a 4 hour tour. Our trip on 02/23/2018 lasted a whole 3 hrs. 20 min. (Makes me wonder if we got the whole tour) This did include the 1/2 hour orientation. Second, I anticipated 3 1/2 hrs in the backcountry which wouldn’t be accessable with a regular vehicle. I could have drove my car over ninety percent of this route and see the same sites. Third, our guide rushed back on return leaving most of us trailing far behind. Bottom line, poor entertainment value.

What a great afternoon! The location just outside Florence was easy to find. When we arrived, our guides Ray and Leo had all the atv's and gear ready for us. Their knowledge of the canyon was amazing and the views spectacular. These guys know their stuff and happily answered all of our questions, had stories from the past as well their own experiences to make the trip a really nice afternoon! Thanks guys!

A great outing for individuals as well as small and large groups. Our guides were fun and made it a pleasurable experience. Prepare for the dust! You will be wearing the goggles (sunglasses won’t provide enough protection). However, the goggles are not tinted so I suggest trying to bring a pair of sunglasses with small lenses to try and fit the goggles over them. My standard square-ish pair were too big. There are some rocks that you go over, but even the beginners in my group weren’t concerned with them, but just an FYI.
