Eddie was our guide. From beginning to end he provided a top-notch experience. We had a bouncy ride, stops for watching wildlife, eating cactus fruit, mesquite beans, and other wild edibles, and learning about the terrain and history. Eddie even treated us to coyote calls over the canyons. Absolutely wonderful in every way! Ask for Eddie when you book a tour!!

Truly one of the best things I’ve ever seen and something I hope to never forget. Great views with great people! Eddie was an awesome guide and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! He gave super cool details on everything and made sure to slow down and point things out for us all to see. Coyote howls and culinary items galore :) Wish I could do this again!
