Our guide for the Painted Canyons tour was Teri Christensen, who was a pleasure to tour and hike with on our trip. She was courteous, polite and a professional the entire time. Her guided tour of the lush growing farms along with her knowledge of the history of the entire region was incredible! From the fig trees and how they are harvested, to the story of the last cowboy gun fight in the wild wild west, she could speak to all! The hiking in the canyons was beautiful, and it was fun getting her insight on the best way to do it! Hope you have a great time on your Red Jeep Tour, its worth it!
