My daughter and I (and 2 old weiner dogs) were driving from Oklahoma to California. I booked this last minute early Sunday morning tour because it was too hot for us to get out and hike safely by ourselves. BOY, were we in for a surprise! Jerry, the tour guide, was so accommodating! His family is from the area and he shared so much information. He was perfect at 'reading the room"...asking about what we wanted out of the tour, delving deeper into geology and anthropology when he noticed our interest. He treated our old dogs like they were his own! Jerry was funny and kind and well informed. We highly recommend Jerry and this tour! It's not a tour for avid hikers. If you've hiked the PCT or the AT this is probably not for you, but if you are traveling with Grandparents or young children or have disabilities or just want to relax, take your time to enjoy the beauty, and be educated then you can't find a better tour!
