Our family of 4 took this trip on March 24th, 2024. As the person who usually has to drive (And thus miss the scenery) I really enjoyed the trip. An amazing dirt road adventure, but with Joe, our faithful, knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide, I was at ease as we spent a half day in the backcountry. We wouldn't have seen what we saw without this trip. I could have rented a jeep - I'm so glad we didn't. Again, a Hat Tip to Joe, but also to NAVTEC which runs a very competent operation. Most impressive. We got to chat with John, the owner who shared some of his decades of experience in the backcountry while talking about some of the pictures he took in the SouthWest. A great set of memories!
