We had a wonderful trip! Dave was our guide, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and an expert driver. We saw beautiful sites, took a lot of pictures, and learned a lot about the area. It was a great adventure, and we have booked a trip with him to see the Arches tomorrow. Can’t wait!

This was an amazing tour of places and sights you can't see without traversing some very primitive and challenging roads. Going with an experienced guide allowed us to focus on the incredible scenery and avoid what otherwise would be a gnarly white-knuckle drive. Our guide Dave was very personable and had lots of interesting information to share about various features and sights along the route plus some of the history of this unique landscape. Highly recommended!
