The tour was thee hours. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the rock formations and the history of the peoples of the area. Maybe a little to long for the grandkids (13and9).

Ross was an amazing tour guide! There was a rate torrential down pour the night before and she navigated through some extreme mud puddles. She talked about the history and the names of the buttes. She slowed down when something caught my eye and I had to get the perfect photo. I highly recommend this trip! Ross, I don’t think I tipped you enough! Honestly!

This whole experience was worth any cost. We were impressed with our driver/guide and the knowledge he shared with us. We were visited by a violent rain storm during the tour but it was handled well and added to the visit. I would recommend this group to anyone.
