Trevor was a wonderful, informative guide. We saw incredible waterfalls and the summit was awesome. He even predicted a rain shower so we were able to get back down the mountain before the hard rain. We highly recommend this excursion. Only slight disappointment was not seeing a ghost town since one of the descriptions said we would. Apparently it is gone, but the majestic views made up for it.

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your 4x4 tour! Unfortunately, the ghost town was taken out by an avalanche last year :(

Trevor was an informative guide. Recommend layers and early time. I highly recommend this excursion. We had young kids thru adult kids and all enjoyed.

The Jeep Tour is really cool (layers when you go to 11,000 feet!) Thank you for the recommendation!
